Silvio Berlusconi Embarrassment Clock Still Ticking

How much longer can Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi survive? “Mr Berlusconi is unpopular. People are sufficiently repelled by his antics and the failure of his government to improve their lives that his rating has fallen below 30 per cent for the first time,” says Britain’s Independent, while even businessman are turning against him and considering what happens next. There are even suggestions the Berlusconi might flee the country to avoid prosecution. All in all, it seems like the Prime Minister has hit a very rough patch. However it ends, his countrymen should be happy that he has given them the gift of “bunga-bunga,” a kind of orgy inspired by Muammar Kaddafi. That’s something, right?
