Another victory for Berlusconi!  Smiley


Let me just say that while I am a fan of Berlusconi, I don't think he is exactly the cleanest politician in Europe.

He got off on a technicality. Typical. He probably bribed the Judges who were trying him on bribary charges...

Mind you it's not like he's the first Italian P.M to be on the fiddle...

Well, I guess he's a little corrupt, but who isn't?

The difference is that Berlusconi is an incredible PM...

Actually, he wasn't cleared.
He was cleared on a technicality on one charge.
On the second charge, he was deemed to be guilty as hell, but again on a technicality, it was deemed that the time limit to put him to jail for it had expired.

That was the title of the article. Those were not my words.

I didn't take it as an attack. I just wanted to "clear" things up.
