Continental Europeans are far less PC than their Anglo and American cousins.

"This is a debacle!" said Nino Frosini, the leader of the Communist Party in Tuscany.
This quote is hereby nominated as "Best Quote of the Day"

I second the nomination! (It was my favorite line in the article.)

An alliance of communists and environmentalists, the Arcobaleno party, apparently failed to capture a single seat in either house.
"This is a debacle!" said Nino Frosini, the leader of the Communist Party in Tuscany.

That is awesome -- no communists in either legislature. Amazing. Plus, Berlusconi clearly has a large majority in both chambers, so he's going to be there for a while.

Oh wow...the fact that that old crook Bersculoni has gotten elected again is not my idea of great news, even though it is better than having the commies in power, and granted that he is very un-PC.

Yes, it is really a great day for Italy: no communists and strong government? Whoa, it's like a dream come true, I honestly would have never thought to see this happen :-))

“Hard to believe the guy’s 71. Must be that Mediterranean air or something.”

Obviously the Italians do not have a problem with hiring a 71 year old man for their Prime Minister. He’s the same age as McCain. Hope the MSM doesn’t persuade our U.S. voters that 71 is ancient, which they are trying very hard to do this very moment. We can point to Berlusconi as an exampple of a youthful 71 who is now Prime Minister in Italy, so time to hire McCain in the U.S. If Italy can do it, so can we.

McCain doesn’t look as good as this guy though, McCain looks like he is in his 80s.

“McCain doesn’t look as good as this guy though, McCain looks like he is in his 80s.”

Well I suppose 5 years in a prison camp with a battered and broken body does that to you. He’s still pretty spry for his age, and the rigors of campaigning haven’t worn him down, it appears. He seems to thrive on it. I’ll give him that.

“Hopefully McCain will round up the tally.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>....................
LOL you must be joking - a CINO like McCain makes
for the most liberal president since Carter.

For those who can think..a Demorat in the White House will result is much less damage then another RINO like Bush..
McCain will move far left if elected and appoint several
demorats to his cabinet and submit leftist jurists to the courts as a favor to his buddies Kennedy, Finegold, Liberman, and Yes Hillary who he dotes on.

But alas, Australia is gone and England and Spain.

Tell that to the Australian and British troops who fight in the front line in the war on terror.

Well that's true of course. England and Australia are still our strongest allies.

But the drift to the left in their foreign policies should not be ignored. Some countries like Germany, France and Italy are clearly rejecting the message of the Left. And some, like England and Australia apparently haven't been burned enough yet by their wacko left to get the message.

Italy got “Change!”

They didn’t like it.

This is good news.

 I'm still trying to figure out this loss of respect that the world is having about America & Bush.  If it's true, why is France electing Sarkozy, Canada electing Harper, Germany electing Merkle and Italy using the way back machine to re-elect Berlusconi?  All of them replacing rabid anti-American and anti-Bush leaders.
