José Manuel embaraçado...

Italy's European commissioner-designate, Rocco Buttiglione, faced a formal call from MEPs for his resignation yesterday over his description of homosexuality as a "sin".
In what looked destined to become a trial of strength with the new European Commission president, MEPs on a key committee voted to reject Mr Buttiglione from the post of justice and home affairs commissioner which he is due to take up on 1 November.
The parliament does not have the power to sack an individual commissioner but it can reject the entire team.
However, the vote of the Freedom, Security and Justice Committee against Mr Buttiglione is an embarrassment to the new Commission president, Jose Manuel Barroso.
