the biggest problem (as I see it) is tha...@Davide,<br /><br />the biggest problem (as I see it) is that the Left managed to get elected just a few years ago, and then suffered a sort of "deer in the headlights" stasis and eventual death by auto-suffocation (some would call it plain political suicide).<br /><br />Through in-fighting, or uncertainty, or timid fear of errors, they were ineffective beyond anyone's worst nightmares. And they still haven't "gotten back on the bicycle" after several years from "the fall". Maybe that was the plan of Berlusc&co all along? Who knows, but they of the Left let it happen all the same...<br /><br />So the monolithic uncontested approach is actually not any fault of the minotaur "Papi". He just can't stand to see a vacuum and is trying to be helpful, of sorts. He probably wouldn't be nearly so dangerous if he weren't so charismatic and at the same time so powerful (and maybe so ingenuously lacking in moral or ethical values...). And if the Left weren't so self-destructive.<br /><br />As to discussions about married life, can we please remember that this man was born in 1936 (73 years ago) and his wife is twenty (20) years younger? And they started their relationship in 1980, when she was 24 (and "Papi" ws still married and with two children), and he almost twice her age?

But she forgot one old adage too.... if you are going to take away someone's husband, he will be probably leave you too because the marriage vows weren't important enough to him in the first place - and most women forget that part in their quest to grab a man. She was the younger gal who wanted to clip his wings but she forgot they usually grow back! <br />The saddest part of all this is the lack of dignity and the price children (even grown ones) and grandchildren play in all the mess.Life should not be a soap opera!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-38759281421770857582009-05-08T19:37:00.000+02:002009-05-08T19:37:00.000+02:00The question now is how good is her lawyer an does...The question now is how good is her lawyer an does Berlusconi have the judges in his pocket?
