Hadn't read the thread, thought you meant "address" in the other sense.

His Grace Bronisław Maria "Badass Stache" Count Komorowski.



Apparently they haven't posted video on YT yet. What a bunch of illiterates.

Since Hash spared me of the need to post Hollande's, here is the speech of Giorgio Napolitano, the Italian President. And no contest, it is so much better... This, my friends, is what a real statesman looks like.

Napolitano is the clear example the United States are not the only country with undead active politicians, like Strom Thurmond or Robert Byrd. Though he's a teenager when compared to Sandro Pertini.

One word: Andreotti.

The sad thing is that, with a few exceptions, these old politicians are the best we've got, with the "new" guys  being either corrupt POS, demagogues, idiots, tools, hacks, attention whores, or, most often, a combination of those.
