Awesome Italian Stereotype
If you’re a halfway decent conservative, then you’ve got to do something pretty egregious to lose my support.
Unless, of course, you’re Arlen Specter (warning: the first pic is not for the faint-hearted), in which case your mere existence is more than enough to offend every conservative sensibility that I possess.
But let’s say that you’re Silvio Berlusconi, Prime Minister of Italy, instead.
There’s lots to like, which I won’t recount here. Suffice to say that he plays for keeps and is much more tenacious than weaker-willed conservatives pretty much everywhere else -- one of the last things his previous administration did was to pass electoral reform that made it just about impossible for the then-incoming socialist coalition to rule. That government did indeed subsequently fall and Silvio is back at the helm of Italian politics. Now that is the hallmark of a winner.
Unfortunately, Silvio is a little too wild. Italian prosecutors are questioning up to 30 young women as part of an investigation into the alleged procuring of a prostitutes for parties held by Berlusconi.
At least no-one can accuse him of not living life.
But please watch the brief clip above again. The lady that Silvio dry humps is a police officer - who does that?!

Right!? It would’ve been strange enough if done by a normal pleb but by the Prime Minister! What?

That’s actually the mambo Italiano.
