Berlusconi And Putin
This story in the IBTimes is also in The Times and is almost unbelievable. Here’s the first three paragraphs.
Vladimir Putin has met Pope Francis in Rome, amid rumours in the Italian media that he is set to appoint the disgraced former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi as Russia’s Ambassador to the Vatican.
Berlusconi is to face a period of community service after his conviction for tax fraud, but could be offered an escape route by his long-term Russian friend.
As ambassador to the Vatican, Berlusconi, who is also appealing a conviction for sex with an underage prostitute and facing new allegations of a £2.5m bribe to a senator, would receive diplomatic immunity from any custodial sentence and be free to maintain his lavish lifestyle.
At least the one thing you can say about Berlusconi, is that he isn’t gay, which is probably why he appeals to the Russian, who Peter Tatchell called the Czar of Homophobia. I hope the Pope is sensible and brave enough to give the dwarf Italian lecher, the Papal Order of the Boot.
Remember that Berlusconi and Putin at 1.65 m and 1.70m are both shorter than my 1.71.
Berlusconi’s New Girlfriend
Silvio Berlusconi has apparently got a new girlfriend according to this article in the Daily Telegraph and quite a few others.
The man’s rather a joke and let’s hope the Italian people see sense and keep him away from office. But they do seem to keep electing him!
Berlusconi To Contest Election
When your ship is sinking, it obviously makes sense to put one of the major causes of why you hit the rocks, back in charge.
That’s what the People of Freedom party are doing in Italy.
Come back Silvio Berlusconi! All is forgiven!
And we thought Gordon Brown was a bad Prime Minister! But at least we made sure he was kicked into the long grass.
I suppose if you kicked Berlusconi into the long grass you wouldn’t find him again. The only people, who would truly mourn his passing from public life, would be comedians.
Berlusconi Found Guilty
Berlusconi has been found guilty and sentenced to time in jail.
Perhaps he should serve it in a womens’ prison.
Berlusconi Sues
So Silvio Berlusconi is going to sue the media all over the Europe for the reporting of his life in the last few years.
I did have rather a laugh at this story, as although I might like to be seen in the company of large numbers of gorgeous bimbos, or in Berlusconi’s case is it bimboni, but I really am not the man to do that. I’m just too short at just 1.71 metres or five foot seven and a bit in Imperial units, which everybody still keeps using, to attract them in more than odd numbers. And anyway, I’m too busy writing software to try to organise my life around bevys of young ladies.
But it got me thinking. Am I really too short?
And then I found this web page. When I looked at it, it had an advert for elevator shoes!
But I’m taller than Berlusconi (1.62 m.), Sarkozy (1.65 m.) and Putin (1.67 m.). I was surprised about the last one, so perhaps that’s why all those action man pictures show him by himself. Or on a pony!
So perhaps, I’m in the wrong job. I think though most British Prime Ministers are fairly tall. I remember being in a lift with John Major in Athens and he towered above me. So I’m out! And who’d want the job anyway.
My late wife did her first barrister’s pupilage in libel chambers. Her advice to Silvio would have been don’t sue. You’ll only give lawyers a lot of money and make matters worse. Even if you win!
I’ll end with a quote from Mrs. Merton to Debbie Magee – “So Debbie, what first attracted you to multi millionaire Paul Daniels?”
