Italian politics is entertaining, more so than its football actually. With a figure like Silvio Berlusconi as president, Italy has always drawn attention.Filthy rich, owns a footballing icon in AC Milan, Hugh Hefner-style playboy (this old man actually has a mansion where he keeps his female friends with benefits), powerful... Berlusconi is the idol of many a Italian man, the Italian stallion if you will.
But the president is increasingly losing his allure and power, and sure enough, many analysts will think that this shall mark the beginning of his end.
We all know Silvio probably did have paid sex with the prostitute above (who probably did not tell him she was underage), and he probably did it in a muddle-headed sorta way, unknowingly and stupidly without thinking of consequences. But, isn't that what you will expect from the most powerful man in Italy. I bet he didn't think twice about it... unfortunately
So, its a case of finding something as lame as a sex escapade to bring down one of the most successful presidents of Italy. The same thing we saw with Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, the likelihood we will see a change of power in Italy, except Berlusconi will go out with a whim.
Berlusconi wouldn't have got anything better from his football team either, seeing them crash 0-1 to Tottenham at home. Go Spurs !
