I always wonder if EU leaders shuffle around so that they do not have to stand beside him in group photographs.

I wasn't sure where to post this, or if I should have started a "rolling nominations thread for worst song of 2009," so this wil have to do.

whenever I read about Berlusconi, it always seems fairly blatant that his main reason for getting into politics was to change the law to protect himself from various lawsuits and criminal prosecutions. What I have never really grasped is why people vote for him.

Because half of Italy sees nothing wrong in this kind of behaviour. And the other half just shrug their shoulders.

Complaints complaints:

Mr Berlusconi has been under pressure to explain his relationship with Ms Letizia since his wife, Veronica Lario, said last month she was divorcing him after he had attended her 18th birthday party and gave her an expensive necklace. He has denied having an affair with her.

Mr Berlusconi denounced the paparazzi on Friday for violating his privacy and "scandalous aggression", saying the photographs were entirely "innocent".

When asked by Italian state-run Rai radio why there had been several naked women at his villa, he replied: "Do you take a shower dressed?"

Well, no. You don't actually have to go to jail when you are over 70, unless you murdered someone iirc?

Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 24 June 2013 15:52 (ten years ago) link

I am not sure he'll go to jail. He'll drag out an appeal forever.

But yes, over 70s are very rarely jailed either way.

At least he'll be barred from any public function for life. That, in a way, should feel like jail to him.

Trying to give this a positive spin.

But yeah, no doubt he'll drag this out indefinitely.
