Berlusconi’s Bloody Nose: Early Xmas Present

I couldn’t stop laughing when I heard that Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was attacked by an allegedly psychotic man wielding a replica of the Duomo di Milano (here). Some politicians deserve our esteem, other deserve to be marched in front of firing squads, but if there ever was a politician who deserved to have his face mauled with a cheap souvenir, it’s Berlusconi — a racist, sexist, philandering, corrupt egotist whose personal business empire allows him to control the media of the country he is so ineffectively ruling. I’m heartened to see that at least one Italian isn’t passively taking Berlusconi’s shit without a fight; even if he is a former mental patient, surely this act proves a shred of sanity? I hope that he inspires the Italian people to fight back against Berlusconi’s suave despotism. Let’s see if anyone can find a creative way to assault Berlusconi with a mini Tower of Pisa.
