October 27, 201213 yr But it took the worst financial crisis since the great depression to get the Italian voters to get rid of the corrupt bastard. Meh.
October 29, 201213 yr Author Oh come on, this is worthy of some celebration - that bastard got gaol time!
October 29, 201213 yr I'd be happier if he actually spend the full four years in prison Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
October 29, 201213 yr And the odds of him actually spending any time in jail? "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
October 29, 201213 yr Oh come on, this is worthy of some celebration - that bastard got gaol time! I agree, its long overdue. That underage prostitute he is accused of having sex with didn't look 17 but that was the least of his crimes. "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

October 29, 201213 yr Corrupted to the core, that bastard. How many times has he been drawn to court by now? And how many times *should* he have been sentenced already? Slightly more often than your average politician I'd wager... Well, let's see if he manages to create his intended crusade against the "dictatoriship of judges" how he calls it. It seems he hasn't changed / created enough laws while he was in office after all. Edited October 29, 201213 yr by samm Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority

Before Berlusconi, Italian politics was as unstable as a crackhead with elections every 6 months on average. He is great copy for newspapers and for gossip columns. And despite his corruption and wastefull spending, noone really questioned it too much because... everyone else was susceptible to bribes and wastefull spending too. Berlusconi is many things, but he is italian politics when it is best. "Politicians. Little tin gods on wheels". -Rudyard Kipling. A European Fallout timeline? Dont mind if I do!
