More than 100,000 Italian women and their supporters turned out across the country to protest against Premier Silvio Berlusconi, saying his dalliances with young women humiliate the sex as a whole and degrade female dignity.

Things must be going really well in Italy. It sounds like a good chance to meet women.

Weren’t we told about 13 years ago that it was the European way to have sex with hookers and that people in Europe were laughing at us for complaining about Clinton?

If you’re a leftist, it simply depends on who is in office.

??
Okay, let me get this straight. Being attracted to and being with extremely attractive young women is somehow humiliating & degrading... to women?

But actually being a hooker or porn star is not?

Plus, I'd be there to meet babes too.

I believe “move on” was the rally cry.

Berlusconi went out on a balcony to address the 100,000 women and said,

“I’ll leave if you all take your tops off!”

This is actually the national sport of Italy.

THe whole thing about this is what he’s doing is done by millions of italians and young women who wnat their money and gifts. When it’s done discreetly nobody cares.

Isn't that the definition of a revolution, now?

Berlusconi is about the closest thing to a decent leader Italy has seen in years. I can’t say that I admire his behavior, but he’s better than the rest of them when it comes to running the country.

Come on, Perdogg, you know better. The standards only apply when it's a right winger. Left wingers can strangle and rape, then eat an infant, on live TV, and the media and all institutions will chuckle, and go digging for another politically-right person to pillory for using a postage stamp that a neighbor lent to him.

I notice there’s no mention of how these young women’s dalliances with Silvio ‘humiliate the sex as a whole and degrade female dignity’.

It’s not as though they did not know of this guy’s character when they elected him.

What is their big problem? I keep hearing "under age" about the 17 YO prostitute slut belly dancer; BUT the age of consent in Italy is 14.

What gives? Jealousy, because (WWII reference) he won't give them nylons, too?
