Love him or hate him, Berlusconi is not shy in his choices of candidates...

you have to give it to him... despite all the controversy he's still carrying on regardless... she's probably not a better policy-maker than a lot of Italian MPs, but at least she's something to look at and if you ever seen a never-ending, mind-numbing, brain-mushing session of the Italian parliament you'll know that every distraction is welcome

She has a great pair of policies.

looks dead set at putting them forward too....

... but its not his idea, they had a porn star in parliament in 1987...

he's clearly standing on the shoulder of giants...

Hmmm... please consent me (it. "mi consenta"... )
Ilona Staller did everything on her own - she had no sugar daddies (it. "papi") opening doors for her

And yes - Mr. B is unrepentant... and nobody seems to care
mala tempora currunt...

Paul

errr.. yes she did, Marco Pannella from the "Partito Radicale" standing next to her on her electoral campaign

Apologies if I'm recycling this link from somewhere on EF. Stunning choices

I have to move to Italy

And get into Politics?

or plastic surgery?

I think you wanted to say, Sex transplant

But I think it must be pretty frustrating to know that people, also women, are around you just because of your position or power.

I mean, after the novelty wears off, one must get seriously depressed to realise that women just screw you for your money and position, otherwise they will not even take a second look at you.

Power, money and women make the world go round.

No honey... its Power, Money and Beauty to be precise

That might be so for Berlusconi yes. I mean he's Italian after all and they have a true passion for "Beauty".

In all seriousness, this is ridiculous. He meets a dental hygienist a few weeks ago, gives her a hot salami injection and now she’s running for parliament? Surely Italy is the laughing stock of world politics.

Beauty should be Priceless, if it comes with a price tag then it has lost most of its charm.

I would say... Italians have cut the hypocrisy and gone straight down to business. I mean who does'nt and would'nt do it, if you had that much money and political influence!?

Yeah I would but I'd seriously not expect my constituents to allow me to get away with it.

Yeah, but his constituents are also Italian
