BERLUSCONI Watch

So recently my Dad has been sending me emails about Italy's resident insane PM, Silvio Berlusconi. Apparently he has recently gone TOTALLY off his rocker!

Update #1:
Silvio, in one of his speaches to journalists, was asked what needs to be done to reduce women unemploynent in Italy and for young women to receive higher salaries. He said that the best solution is for young women to get married to wealthy boys, like his son for example! He was not kidding. It is amazing that the guy still sticks around in Italian politics. Also, the other day in the news there were comments by Italians that they are looking at examples like Spain and Greece for stable democratic regimes. Really? As a Greek, I KNOW Greece should NEVER be a shining example of a stable democratic regime...

Update #2:
In a recent speech for the election campaign, Silvio said that the left (meaning political parties) does not have a good taste in
women!!!! Whoaaa......this is (apparently) a good argument to never vote for the left. Who wants to vote for a party that does not have a good taste in women? To further convince Italians that his party has good taste in women, Silvio in his political rallies has hired top models to go around the crowd with placards promoting Berlusconi. Who would not want to vote for such a guy with such an impeccable taste in women? Silvio has also been quoted as saying that: "our women candidates are better looking than theirs and there is no contest in the Parliament as to which party has the better looking women parliamentarians." It is amazing that this level of political dialogue takes place in Italy of the 21st century!

In a weird way, it sort of makes me feel better about our current bumblefuck of a President...
