Silvio Berlusconi Still Having Hooker Trouble

What is remarkable about this summary of the charges against Silvio Berlusconi in his most recent scandal is that a reporter can talk about how the Prime Minister of Italy is accused of paying an underage Moroccan prostitute nicknamed Ruby Heartstealer for sex and anyone who has been following the story will be all, “You don’t say.” Like, we’ve already normalized the idea of the Prime Minister of Italy paying an underage Moroccan prostitute nicknamed Ruby Heartstealer for sex. WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU GOT? It’s really a testament to Berlusconi’s ability to have so many fingers in so many very different pies. Although that may not be the best metaphor.
