Berlusconi (Italy's Prime Minister) hit in face at campaign rally

[Bak]

He got pretty messed up for getting hit once. Broken nose and two teeth. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8411198.stm

 

I'm quite surprised his approval rating is as high as it is (over 50%). He's definitely makes deals with the mob (paying them off to clean up garbage link ), passed a law to give the prime minister immunity from trails because of his tax fraud case (which the supreme court had to overrule), there were the tabloid pictures of the sex party he had a year ago or so, he bought an expensive diamond necklace for a 18 year old on her birthday (he's 73, check out http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1176839/Berlusconi-demands-apology-wife-admits-Our-marriage-over.html lots of great pics of his mistresses), his second wife is in the process of divorcing him, he at one point called for her to apologize for tainting his public image. He owns a significant percentage of the media in Italy, and the rest is state run which he also effectively controls being the prime minister.

 

Still, probably not a good idea to physically attack him.

The suspect was taken in to custody.. 6 hours later he "Mysteriously escaped"

can't find it, link?

He didn't escape. He's still in isolation, and he wasn't hit with a fist he was hit with a marble and metal souvenir. I suspect he'll be trailed, but let off easy due to his mental instabilities. Berlusconi wouldn't be foolish enough treat him otherwise for what is just a petty attack.

Isn't he the guy that referred to Obama as "a well tanned lad" or something?

 

Edit:

lol.

ROFL

 

Silvio Berlusconi.. i can't even think of the right words for him. He's in such a powerful position yet he acts so immature. It's almost unreal.

I thought it was quite funny on the whole... Lol

 

 

But then I suppose some people would say that I'd be the type of person to find this funny so... Meh.

Berlusconi, petty? Perish the thought!
