All this nonsense about Berlusconi surrounding himself with beautiful women. What a farce! Most of the men in the world are thinking to themselves, ‘Lucky bastard…’ and if we were the voting public, he would get voted in again. I dare say that still now, he’ll get voted back in.

He admits himself that he’s no saint, perhaps we should leave it at that and accept him for the man he is. Does it affect his job? Does it make him any less of an effective leader?
