The
long national nightmare that is Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's
"Bill-Clinton-Multiplied-By-90,000" marriage has finally come to an end.
Today, we'll look back on Silvio's many... many... many reasons for driving his wife to, at long last, file for divorce...
-defended Mussolini as a guy who sent people "on vacation" and didn't kill anybody
-claimed "Communists eat children"
-has been linked on numerous occasions to the Mafia
-"If
I wasn't already married, I would marry you right away," and "With you,
I'd go anywhere" are quotes attributed to Berlusconi, apparently
speaking to Mara Carfagna,
the showgirl-turned politician. Berlusconi's wife, Veronica Lario,
demanded an apology in an opposition newspaper following the alleged
incident
-was accused of making "sexist remarks" when he said
right-wing women are hotter than left-wingers (he obviously has never
seen Ann Coulter on television.)
-celebrated Obama's election by calling him "handsome" and "even tanned."
-answering
a question about rape in Italy and soldiers being sent out to put a
stop to it: "We would need as many soldiers as beautiful women and I
don't think that would be possible, because our women are so beautiful."
It
goes on and on... are you getting a picture? You must be wondering at
this point what the final straw was for a lovable wackjobjackass like
Silvio Berlusconi. The answer comes to us from the Times Online:
Ms Lario, who met Mr Berlusconi nearly 30 years ago, attacked last week his
plans to field young attractive showgirls in the European Parliament
elections next month as “shameless rubbish to entertain the Emperor”.
Her fury was fuelled by the revelation that her husband had attended the 18th
birthday party of Noemi Letizia, a friend’s daughter, and had given her a
diamond and gold necklace. Ms Lario said that he had never attended his own
children’s 18th birthday parties.
Sick, sick, sick.
