Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi lost in the Italian Supreme Court today: he no longer has immunity from prosecution while in office.
Sensibly, the court decided that no man was above the law. One wonders when that principle will again apply here in the good old USA.
With allegations of hiring prostitutes, bribery, and various trials before him, will Berlusconi be able to stay in office?
Gorilla answers: “Probably, the Italians loved Pagliacci and they love this clown, too!”
In a best case scenario, how many prostitutes can your villa hold?
In a worst case scenario, how many prostitutes will contribute to your ex-wife’s bank account?
Which nether region of Italy will benefit most from a stimulus package: your own or L’Aquila’s?
Gorilla says: “Enough of these old spicy meatballs, Silvio spells relief: T-E-E-N-A-G-E.”
You wonder when these guys are ever going to find out something useful, like the location of Osama bin Laden or what to do about the worst economic downturn in 70 years.
“Call in the call girls and boys”, Gorilla says, “They know what’s really going on!”
Shock, shock! There’s no agreement on climate change at the G-8 summit!
So, it’s back on the jets and into the limos for global leaders everywhere.
The Europeans want us to do more, we want the Chinese and Indians to do more, and so everyone does nothing more.
What’s curious to Gorilla is why our green President is now directing his regulators to pursue “speculators” who have allegedly jacked up the price of oil.
Heck, even Paul Krugman smells a rat!
Shouldn’t we be encouraging the highest possible prices for fossil fuels, rather than passing toothless frauds like Waxman-Markey?
Wouldn’t that do more to help reduce global warming and carbon consumption than any number of canapes served by the likes of Berlusconi?
