I agree with what you say about Bersculoni
but your "He's a real man and a bit of a card, what's wrong with that?" argument doesn't stand up.
How the juddering kuck did Kevin Rudd get elected down here in Oz then?
Aside from the fact that everyone was sick of Little Johnnie.

You can keep Murdoch - we really don't want him. I'd be more scared of Wendy Deng personally - mean right hook on that lady!

Oh man, I got Deng Fever right here now.
I didn't say that "I" liked Berlusconi as 'a bit of a card', from what I gather he is liked by the very manly men of Italy for being a Manly Man in their eyes. I don't speak Italian and when I tried, they plead with me to speak in English instead as I would be more understandable to them.

All of which only goes to reinforce my opinion....
...that Italians are (in general) a bunch of self-obsessed, egotistical, ignorant arseholes who think that the height of the human experience is poncing about in designer sunglasses and pastel jumpers whilst looking down their noses at anyone who has actually achieved something for the world but is wearing last years' colour.

So they got what they deserved - the knob end that was Berlesconi.
