Silvio’s comin’ to town?

Eagle-eyed TPM Reader PP sent me this ABC News political calendar which includes this detail …

Oct. 31, 2005: President Bush hosts Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi at the White House for a meeting and lunch, Washington, DC.

So let’s see. President Bush is engulfed in a firestorm originally ignited by the administration’s use of the phony Niger uranium documents. A flurry of press reports in Italy have just implicated Berlusconi’s government in being behind the forgeries themselves.

Can I come to lunch too?

Joint press conference? Press questions before the meeting?
