I’m am absolutely stoked about how well Silvio Berlusconi did today in Italy. I was heartbroken a few years ago when he was taken out by Prodi, and have been hoping since then that he’d make a comeback. And it looks like I’ll be getting my wish! (Update: Berlusconi is Back!)
Love him or hate him, he’s still Italy’s greatest post-war leader. The only Italian politician that has succeeded in holding his government together for a full term. A self-made billionaire. And a hilarious and colorful
personality. He rules and he’s my hero.
I swear; the United States needs more politicians like Berlusconi. I wish that Bush was more like him, although the two certainly remind me of each other. This is the greatest thing I think I’ve ever heard a politician say:
The left has no taste, even when it comes to women.
The man just came out and said it. The women of the right are more beautiful than the women of the left. And it’s not just their ideas that are ugly. What balls. He’s not scared of saying anything. This is the same guy who said that he speaks Latin well enough to engage Julius Caesar in casual conversation and that he is the Jesus Christ of Italian politics.
The Economist has made trashing him their favorite past time. So what does he do? He runs around calling them The Ecommunist. He’s just hilarious. Nothing can touch him.
And as for all those allegations of corruption? Well he has an answer for that too. The judges that have tried to indict him in the past were probably crazy. And he’s a strong enough leader to recognize this and make suggestions on how to improve the Italian justice system. They need mental evaluations. The brilliance! Could you imagine if we did that in America? Could you just imagine if Ruth Bader-Ginsburg, David Souter, and Stevens were given psychiatric evaluations? We’d have a conservative-packed court virtually overnight.
And to continue this rant about how amazing Berlusconi is, here is the topper: he has proposed a month of no taxes!
“We want to give Italians, after all they suffered under Romano Prodi, a month without taxes. It would be a month of freedom.”
Whether or not this is realistically feasible is immaterial. It’s his attitude, his spirit, and his unwavering courage to say things that no other politician will say and energize the people into appreciating their government again. Italians should be sick of the Left’s do-nothing trite nonsense for so long.

I’ll say it again. I wish that American politicians were more like Berlusconi. The sight of he and Bush is inspiring, and I hope that in a year’s time I will be able to triumphantly post a picture of him and McCain
shaking hands as they talk about the future.
SCOTUS Choicers Not Invited to Dinner with Pope
I thought this was amazing when I read it earlier today. The headline was innocuous enough, “5 Supreme Court Justices on White House guest list.” So I check it out, and of course it’s obvious what five justices got invited: Scalia, Alito, Roberts, Thomas, and Kennedy. Also known as the “pro-life” justices. (with the minor possible exception of Kennedy…)
The article seems to think that those five got invited because they’re all Roman Catholic, but clearly there’s a much bigger reason why their invitations got lost in the mail. Think about it: McCain, a Baptist, will be there. But Hillary and Obama won’t.
It’s not about religion, it’s because they’re liberals. And they don’t deserve to hang out with “Il Papa.”
I can just see Ginsburg et.al., grumbling, “Well we don’t want to hang out with that crazy Pope anyway!” I think it’s a good rule…you can’t hang out with the Pope if you’re part of the reason that more than a million unborn children are slaughtered by abortionists in America every year. Not to mention their tireless efforts to erase religion from American life, invent homosexual marriage, declare sodomy a Constitutional right, etcetera etcetera.
I mean, it’d just be awkward.
Unfortunately there’s an exception to every rule, and Ms. Pelosi will be allegedly attending. She better behave herself and say Grace with everyone else.
