It's official: Berlusconi is nuts!!!

[Sloth]

Just one week after declaring that judges are mad "twice: one because they are communists and second because they must be mad to do that job anyway", he performs again......

Asked to compare Saddam and Mussolini he answered that Mussolini never killed anyone, he just sent dissidents on vacation into internal exile...

Don't feed him to that kid from the peanut thread!

Isn't it official for more than a decade now ?

Wouldnt it be nice if the world could calm down enough so that we had time to appreciate the wonderful fun that is Italian politics. Maybe ciccolina needs to make a run for government again.

[TheStinger]

51 governments in as many years and 1/2 the prime ministers in the mafia, brilliant.

[The Andy-Man]

the thing is, Italins just don't give a ****, they could have a real nasty (a competent one) and they'd still go round on scooters, saying 'ciao'.

Don't think so...a thief? yes! a liar? sure! Nuts...I didn't think so.

I would not transform this thread into an anti-italian one. Yes we have a nuts PM that is still supported by a quarter of the population...but apart from that we are wonderfull...and we do it better!!

That many ? I'm impressed he hasn't alienated 100% of the population yet.... Does he get the support of the ordinary Borth Leaguesmen ? (I assume "North Leaguesman" is the Italian insult to refer at the stupidest one can get )

and we do it better!!

Indeed Compared to Berlusconi, even the worst leaders of the democratic world look lame:
Chirac= liar and thief
Bush= liar and nuts
Berlusconi= liar, thief and nuts. The best of two worlds

[Sloth]

In "we do it better" I referred to another human activity more fun than politics..

And yes...I think that although Berlusconi would very likely loose a general election, he can still count on a very large chunk of support...People that adimire him. Think about it: he's ignorant, ugly, not very intelligent...and nonetheless he got filthy rich and very very powerfull....he's a walking exemple that is "sapersi arrangiare" (I'd translate that with "the art of getting by") that really counts, not culture or intelligence...Are you surprised that so many people chose him as a role model?

[Datajack Franit]

He may be filthy rich but he worked for that; some of his political opponents never worked a day in their lives (apart from getting the 15,000 $ monthly wage for the tough *cough!* work of being a politician) and still, they own boats, villas and stylish clothes- are they better just because they belong to social-democratic parties?

I don't know how it is in Italy, but I can tell you the work of the MP for whom I worked in the European Parliament was tough. And the pay was much lower than 15,000 $ despite the Euro MPs being overpaid in comparison to national MPs.

I wish I was telling a lie, or kidding, but that's the real amount of money they receive- and we have 1 million of people living in poverty

let's say that he also worked for that

Even if people have doubts about him, that doesn't make him a criminal

Q:Why is people still voting him?
A:Because he's a good businessman, and people trust him because no matter what he does, he could never do more disasters than 10 years of lefty government

Datajack what about trying to respond at the topic, BTW.
He's right in his fascism apology or in saying that judges are mad?
The left could made up of jerks...but are you sure that liar is the best Italian right can offer...if so:
