Drudge Report

Darn those vicious 3-legged dogs...

LoL!

A brick layer using a tripod instead of a brick.

He must be "as thick as a brick"!

[sgtbono2002]

5 years in an Italian Prison may help him to control himself when he comes out and think of all the nice brickwork they can get done free while he is there.

Americans can afford SUVs.

I suggest: 3 years in a Turkish prison.

Why has Bush been so slow to give aid to Berlusconi's injury?

I'm sure "The Times" is working on a scoop as to why he hasn't!

[alessandrofiaschi]

I bet.

[YOUGOTIT]

Why is this figlio un lupo still standing and talking?

And here I thought Martians had landed in Italy.

[OOPisforLiberals]

Bingo! Was wondering when someone would pick up the reference :)

Berlusconi has been such a great ally of the US -- thank you for supporting him. I lift a glass of Barolo in your honor.

"I did it because I hate him," ANSA quoted the man as telling police. "I
certainly didn't plan this, but when I saw him there greeting the
crowds, I couldn't stop myself," he added. <<<<<<

This is the same feelings that we hear here in the
democrats and other commie liberals.

Beware, it could happen here.

I am very happy that the attack was not worse.

[Soul Seeker]

Thank you for posting information on how to contact him. Plan to do so.

Berlusconi has been a solid ally. I hope this creep gets everything he deserves for attacking him.

Sick. The problem isn't with Berlusconi. The problem is with these emptyheaded fools that prefer to hate a good man than confront and evil one.

Italy's Berlusconi Slightly Hurt in Tripod Attack

Perhaps when Tripod is convicted, he and SUV will be cellmates.

"... it could have been worse :-)"
Well, any but the most pipsqueak photo tripods are in the range of 4+ lbs, with more metal than plastic parts (I doubt he was lugging around and would be throwing a wooden 15-pounder). So it was no fun.

[GSlob]

"yup...........using a tripod in the commission of a crime should be punishable by death or working at the NY Times"
Using a tripod in the commission of a crime should be punishable by converting the perp into a monopod, by tearing away the perp's excessive legs, till only one is remaining.

[Calpernia]

Wasn't Tony Blair hit with something a few months ago too?

[superskunk]

when I saw him there greeting the crowds, I couldn't stop myself," he added.

Thanks for the ping. Perhaps a lengthy prison term will help him with his self control 'issues'.

[festus]

They can have my tripod when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

;-)

[nw_arizona_granny]

Yes, Blair was hit with something, I am thinking of 'cream'
but don't really recall all the details.

What gives? is this all a warning? Watch us, we can reach
the top, anytime we want to do so???????

Blair has a traitor in his secret service, when Bush went to England the advance plans of his routes was released and recently there was an envelope found with (I think), Blair's plans in it.

Blair's plans have been leaked several times, that I have caught in passing.

If I may make a suggestion -- 7 years hard labor in a Yugoslavian prison. And when he is sentenced, the judge can say he "just can't help himself."
