My fellow Italians keep on voting for him, so they must really deserve him.
I’m sorry for those who didn’t, but I’m also happy to be elsewhere.
Being Italian nowadays is a source of deep shame.
People doing this are also doing these things:

I followed the election on CNN when I was in Tahiti. Normally I wouldn’t watch such trash as CNN, but it was the only channel in English, and I was tired of the movie in french about scuba divers being eaten by a shark. I left Tahiti before the result was certain, but it was looking like Berlusconi was out.
I then got to new york and didn’t hear another word about it till I got home. But yay :) now we need to get rid of our own little prick here in Australia.
He’ll probably be back, but this is a start! I just started learning about Italian politics shortly before the election, it’s all very interesting.
I’m sadly giving up here.
As far as I know (well, very little, I have to admit), this goal is totally unrealistic. I know, officially, Berlusconi is out of itilian politics.
But please. This Evil man is too powerfull, in too many areas, to really think he will be really out some (wonderful) day.
An other personnal reason for me giving up, is that, after all, I’m french and living in France. If I start with political goals, I could as well never end. (So many scandals about and involving Chirac, Sarkozy, Villepin and so on…).
And all of this is not very good for my blood pressure.
Coffee break at Sant’Eustachio, which is right beside the Senate. Today they just elected Giorgio Napolitano as the new President of the Republic (file under: yay!), so the place was full of bodyguards and anonymous MPs, who only show up three times a year in Rome for some… err… important vote. One of them, a perfectly groomed middle-age woman, was talking loudly on the phone right next to me, telling how Napolitano didn’t collect all the votes of his coalition, and how this is showing that center-left coalition is weak, and yaddayadda. My bet is she is from Forza Italia, Berlusconi’s party. I gulped my caffè, closed my eyes enjoying its wonderful flavor, slowly turned, gracefully smiled and stated: “So what, dummy? You lost, we rule!”. Well, I didn’t exactly voiced it, but judging solely from her outraged expression she read it all over my face. Oh, glorious moment!
