A person who owns that much media should not be Prime Minister. It's a complete conflict of interest.nyc/caribbean ragazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370358466131415888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-44104990595448146532011-02-17T00:56:21.144+01:002011-02-17T00:56:21.144+01:00I am embarrassed for Italy and the Italian people....I am embarrassed for Italy and the Italian people. Shizzle, it feels like the Bush years all over again but even HE wasn't this BAD. Berlusconi is a disgrace, but like they say, "absolute power, corrupts absolutely" and the Italian people are a bit over it and in being over it are doing nothing about it.<br /><br />I hope they boot his a** out. Serves him right. If not in a couple of years we will have an Egypt on our hands. #jussayin!Tanisha Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01042080495549614589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-55786002711300635602011-02-16T08:26:22.083+01:002011-02-16T08:26:22.083+01:00homebody - Little did we know back then Noemi was ...homebody - Little did we know back then Noemi was the tip of the iceberg.

Him with a 17 year old prostitute who was released because he called to say she was Mubarek's niece. Oh, and the sex parties he has. Wasn't another of his proteges pretty young? I forgot her name. I don't think he has made the primetime evening news in the US before now.Homebody at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239296629489677377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-61292069185200471862011-02-15T09:09:51.903+01:002011-02-15T09:09:51.903+01:00milanese - I hope so.

Of course Berlusconi said the people demonstrating were on the left and didn't represent a cross section of the country. <br /><br />Jean - Robert - you didn't leave a way to contact you. You can reach me through my Flicker account (see bottom right side of my blog) and I will give you my email address.<br /><br />viajera - every time I think the saga couldn't get worse, it does yet he stays in office.<br /><br />joanne - it's hard to boycott his products as he owns so much of it! I don't think the average person has any idea how deep his media holdings are. It's a totally conflict of interest.<br /><br />Also until the opposition steps it up with a credible candidate that can offer more than platitudes, Berlusconi and his cronies are going nowhere.nyc/caribbean ragazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370358466131415888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-41765361309352787622011-02-14T21:30:47.414+01:002011-02-14T21:30:47.414+01:00I must be a cynic because I am not yet convinced t...I must be a cynic because I am not yet convinced that yesterday's protests will have an effect on Silvio or his way of doing things. Until people start changing how they vote all the protests in the world won't change things. I hope I'm wrong, but he won't resign no matter how many Italian protest and the only way to really affect him is to hit his wallet. But Italians won't boycott Mediaset or Mondadori or any of his other holdings. Now that's a protest I would like to see.Joanne at Frutto della Passionehttp://www.fruttodellapassione.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-44559242304845298502011-02-14T19:41:25.213+01:002011-02-14T19:41:25.213+01:00So proud to see people getting out and demanding s...So proud to see people getting out and demanding something better.

I've always been disappointed at Italians' complacency at the messed up situation of women in this country. But yesterday showed how sick and tired people really are. It was great to see women of all ages and walks of life rallying in a peaceful, intelligent and joyful way. I hope this will be a wake up call that will mark the beginning of the end of Italy's dark ages.milanese masalahttp://milanesemasala.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
