Humodour Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 But it took the worst financial crisis since the great depression to get the Italian voters to get rid of the corrupt bastard. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melkathi Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 And the odds of him actually spending any time in jail? "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceVC Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 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.

samm Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) 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.

Farbautisonn Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 And yet, the italian electorate love the guy. He is the only guy who has managed to keep the country focused... either in blind admiration or in staunch hate of him. 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. 1 "Politicians. Little tin gods on wheels". -Rudyard Kipling. A European Fallout timeline? Dont mind if I do!
