Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Consenual sex between an 18 year old women and a 72 year old man is legal.
Fair play to the old goat!
But one has a certain amount of so-called dignity when in a position of authority (like) and it appears
that rubbing the well-chiselled nose of the wifey in it is just abusive...
This wee 18 year old girl wants a parliamentary seat, thus it seems meet to question the ol' fella's
political judgement, not to mind the fact that his behaviour has indeed made a laughing stock
of Italy in terms of how women are viewed by someone who should be conversant with equality
issues.
O well, there's more to come doubtless, from the man who would not switch off a life support
machine because a woman who lay in a coma for years was " reproductively viable" =
ride 'em, breed with 'em, give them jobs they are manifestly incapable of doing for sexual favours
and bring the office of premier/prez (whatever) into disrepute and hurt yer kids whilst
at it.
Big donging hubris.
We all mostly agree on what we think about Mr B. Some might have missed though that the sex interest card has long been played artfully by the showman. Is he king or jester, this latter day Mussolini with all the dancing girls and less mature beauty than Mr Sarko's scenery?
Exactly 4 years ago Berlusconi answered "The Economist" magazine's feature focus issue on Italy entitled "the sickman of Europe" with the retort :- "Nope We're Playboy!"
The Sick Man of Europe? = "Nope We're Playboy!" c/f http://www.indymedia.ie/article/70017
That's what he sees when he looks in his heart and thinks of young people of comely Italian appearance meeting at the crossroads of his patria.
Is he & has he really been Mr Italy for so long just on the strength of his cheek, money, good looks and tough hide?
No he has not nor is he.
If such skilled manipulative people had taken / took control of all the G8/G20 powers would you have noticed or thought how to counter them yet?
There is only one parallel in our contemporary geopolitic to Mr B, the younger Mr H.C., he who I always called "the man" - Hugo Chavez. The problem isn't that Berlusconi has suceeded in turning the EU elections into a plebiscite of his mass appeal complete with teenage girls, pissed off wives, the granddaughter of Mussolini publically being critical, his nucleus, the catholic church putting a distance, the whiff of Viagra, the inabilty of the left to compete for headspace, the utter criminalisation of migrants.
ah there we are.
The Utter Criminalisation of Human Workers - This Monstrosity is More Than One Man Nor The Votes of Teenagers to Wishful Entrepreneurs Dreaming of Flesh. IT PASSED LAWS. A non-regularised human found in Italy has automatically and summarily committed a criminal offence. I hope you see behind the show to know this is how non-EU humans (& gypsies) are thus kept far away from the swimming pools of the noble Italian.
According to today's BBC he is now under investigation for " misuse of public funds after photos showed he had used state aircraft to fly friends to Sardinia. Mr Berlusconi confirmed on Thursday that he had been formally placed under investigation by prosecutors, but said the probe would be "swiftly shelved". He insisted he was allowed to transport "people he needs" for security reasons. Photographs of a naked man and topless women at the villa have been published by Spanish newspaper El Pais. El Pais said the pictures were examples of the approximately 300 which were blocked from publication in Italy at the weekend, at Mr Berlusconi's request. The photographer, Antonello Zappadu, had pixelated the faces of those in featured with the exception of Mr Berlusconi, to protect their identities, it said.

I really don't know which story in my newspaper this morning was more titilating, how Kill Bill Kung Fu David Carradine jerked himself off to death in a Thai Hotel wardrobe or the selection of naked bottoms with pixalated faces photographed at Berlusconi's Sardinian lair parties. You know the ones that Noemi went to and was never the same afterwards... The one that brought the vicepresident of the Senate to thirst and hunger strike occupying the TV station...
But you'll probably want to peep yourselves - to know what you're up against in EU democracies.
So I chose a middle aged male arse next to a young swimsuited female. PRobably better for our readership than the middle aged man with semi-erect member standing over another similarly aged female in less swimsuit.
http://www.elpais.com/articulo/internacional/Berlusconi...4/Tes
1 of the 700 photos of Berlusconi's party (relaxing jovial party not political liberal democratic party) he's right wing.
Mr B has this afternoon announced his intention to sue "El Pais" and quite probably lead a boycott of all things Spanish. But one of the photos which you can see in the selection published today in Spain and sold at kiosks throughout Italy depicts as I mentioned before a naked man of middle aged paunchy appearance with what is unmistakably a semi-erect penis. This could be as far as his member goes from flaccid to virile or it merely means the published photo caught the organ before or after a more explicit and possibly unpublishable state of arousal. That's what I reckon anyway looking at how he is leaning over the young girly with nothing much on.
Is this man Mirek Topolanek the former prime minister of the Czech Republic whose regime was toppled on March 24, 2009? Well lots of people say it is but "El Pais" isn't adding that to the lawsuit thing for the moment.
Topolanek as you might remember has been criticised for his rhetoric, which occasionally invokes memories of the World War II and Nazi atrocities. He's a fascist in other words. Just the sort of person to be at Mr B's lair last winter. & he was there complete with an entourage. If not dangling about the pool he was inside. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirek_Topolanek#Fall_of_Go...nment

Now this is political & I'm going to briefly explain why. I have lived in Sardinia and have spent the last 9 years living in Barcelona on the Mediterranean coast. I'm well used to sights of nakedness on balmy humid summer nights and spicy party photo opportunities around swimming pools the likes of which may bring blushes to many Irish faces. But I'm not the majority share holder in Italian media, guaranteed immunity from corruption charges by the Italian state and prime minister of Italy as well. The people at this party may I remind everyone were not enjoying a balmy humid summer night. It was winter, last christmas to be precise.
Unless Mr B had the heating and radiators turned up full blast like many people of his pensionable age, then i see no reason why people had to leave the lair to frolick naked around the pool.
Then I think of what happened inside the den. & what Mr Berlusconi holds over his entourage and gifts to them.
That's politics. Because of my party history, I would shy away from a career in politics.
Because of his parties - it's time he was exposed and shamed.
