ROME (Jan. 29) - Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is famous for his ambitious promises, but he is unlikely to be called to task if he breaks his latest pledge: not to have sex before the April 9 general election.
At a party rally in Sardinia on Saturday, the media tycoon received the blessing of television preacher Massimiliano Pusceddu, who thanked him for opposing gay marriage and defending family values.
"Thank you dear Father Massimiliano, I’ll try not to let you down and I promise you two and a half months of complete sexual abstinence until April 9," Berlusconi replied, in comments reported on Sunday by the daily Il Giornale.
The twice-married Berlusconi, 69, prides himself on his physical fitness, and after a facelift and a hair transplant he looks younger now than he did when he swept to power in 2001.

Like George Costanza, this will make him smarter, and therefore help him in the debates -- especially if his opponent is a woman who makes the same pledge!
Why do some people think 3 or 4 months without sex is such a big deal?
He's using Viagra anyway.
Has he had sex since the last election?
He's getting married now and divorced on election night?
I'm certain the women of Italy will be overjoyed.
I guess it's all relative.
Could it be he left out a word and really means he promises not to have "gay" sex?
"Like George Costanza, this will make him smarter,..."
LOL! That was a good episode.
Bill hasn't had sex with Hillary since the last 3 elections but he's still gettin' plenty.
Dude, Berlusconi is a conservative. He even has the Ann Coulter Seal of Approval.
If we could only get our politicians to swear of screwing people...Ah, hell, they'd lie anyway.
I'd love to see a photo of his wife when he made the announcement: Deer in the Headlights!
I'm worried about you, Professer . . . BTW, you don't live in State College, do you? Not too many people outside of Happy Valley read the Centre Daily Fishwrapper, er, Times.
He's Italian, remember.
For whatever reason, this story (at least an excerpt of it) was in today's Tennessean, Nashville paper; I Googled my best memory of the headline and figured it fit in with the "topic at hand."
I guess he thinks with the little head.
After which the electorate will get screwed!
