BERLUSCONI'S COJONES
from www.editorandpublisher.com
NEW YORK In a new kind of "campaign promise," Premier Silvio Berlusconi has promised Italian voters he will refain from sex until the April 9 elections, his brother's newspaper reports Sunday.
Il Giornale, a conservative Milan daily owned by Paolo Berlusconi, reported that the abstinence vow was made during a campaign rally in Cagliari, Sardinia, on Saturday.
A popular TV preacher on the island, Rev. Massimiliano Pusceddu, had hailed the twice-married premier for opposing gay marriage and defense of so-called family values, and promised that his followers would support the conservative leader because "if the left wins it will be the moral end for this country."
Berlusconi, 69, replied: "Dear Father Massimiliano. I thank you a lot. I will try to meet your expectations, and I promise from now on, 2 1/2 months of absolute sexual abstinence, until April 9."
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT ABSTINENCE WILL ACHIEVE? I'M JUST GLAD THAT WE'RE NOT THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT PANDERS TO RELIGIOUS CONSERVATIVES IN EXCHANGE FOR VOTES.
Berlusconi has had a facelift and a hair transplant in recent years. He has often been criticised by feminist groups for his use of sexual innuendo.
In June he sparked a diplomatic incident with Finland when he said he had used "playboy tactics" to persuade its female president to change her mind about one issue.
THE REAL DIPLOMATIC FLAP SHOULD BE DIRECTED TOWARD THE FINNISH PRESIDENT WHO ALLOWED HERSELF TO BE PERSUADED BY PLAYBOY TACTICS. MAYBE THIS IS THE ONE WHO LOOKS LIKE CONAN? STILL, YOU DO HAVE TO KINDA LAUGH AT THE STEREOTYPICAL ITALIAN MACHISMO OF BERLUSCONI. AND AT THE LOVABLE FOOL CONAN FOR PUTTING FINLAND BACK ON THE MAP.

What a schmuck. Yeah, I doubt Tarja Halonen was actually "persuaded by his playboy tactics"--she's one bad-ass bitch, I mean it. In Finland, anyway, she's generally thought of as a tough, assertive momma. A supporter of gay rights, the president of a country that provides health care and free education (college too) to ALL of its citizens....
