Does anyone know some good Italian imprecations we can hurl at this truly awful person?At one point, we were trying to turn "Berlusconi" itself into an imprecation. When someone does something egregiously, brutally dreadful, we are supposed to say that he just committed a Berlusconi, or he berlusconied. Italian politics is still immensely complicated, at least to me, an ignorant foreigner. I really wish them well, though. And I love the closing image of that article -- Berlusconi alone on stage, choking on his own limp joke -- to the sound of total silence from his audience. Very just.

Would that make Fini into the Gareth of European politics?
