During the recent US presidential campaign, Berlusconi, the leader of this land, became famous (or infamous) sadly for the wrong reasons. Commenting on Barack Obama he stated just how much he liked his tan. Italians, and non-Italians alike, cringed all over Italy.
But this time, Berlusconi, its really too much.
There have been a number of violent attacks against women in Italy recently, and a response was needed. Explaining last week his proposal to add soldiers (presumably Carabiniere) to the streets, Silvio Berlusconi expressed that there would always be a risk of women being raped in Italy. "You can't consider deploying a force that would be sufficient to prevent the risk," the ANSA and Apcom news agencies quoted him as saying.
"We would have to have so many soldiers because our women are so beautiful."
He went on to lament that there are only 100,000 people in law enforcement, but millions of beautiful women in this country.
His comments have been picked up and reported from New Zealand to Turkey, from Sao Paolo to the UK.
All my friends are as outraged as I. Even the ones that voted for him in the first place!
