    Default A political heir to Berlusconni?

    http://news.yahoo.com/berlusconi-pro...172538507.html

    " As justice minister, Alfano was an architect of judicial reforms that Berlusconi critics say were tailor-made to help the premier in legal woes stemming from his billionaire business empire. Berlusconi insists the reforms help all Italians."

    "Berlusconi recently repeated his intention not to run again after his term ends in 2013."

    So... according to that, Berlusconni is reluctantly stepping away from politics and grooms a heir to take charge. I thought he wanted his nephew PierSilvio to take his place but it seems that certain political favors have put the former minister of justice to the front row for the coveted position.

    To be sincere, I'm kinda saddened to see Berlusconni go. If anything, he gave me a couple of good laughs.

    A political heir to Berlusconi ? How about Don Vito Corleone ?
    Frederick II of Prussia: "All Religions are equal and good, if only the people that practice them are honest people; and if Turks and heathens came and wanted to live here in this country, we would build them mosques and churches."
    Norge: "Give me a break. Nothing would make you happier than to see the eagle replaced with a crescent."

    Ummon:"enforcing international law will require that the enforcers do not respect it"
    Olmstead v USA:"Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means-to declare that the government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal-would bring terrible retribution. Against that pernicious doctrine this court should resolutely set its face."








    Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who can't defend themselfs.
    When you stand before god you can not say "I was told by others to do this" or that virtue was not convenient at the time

    I think it needs someone from the Jersey Shore cast. Someone the youth can relate to. An Italian Obama if you will.

    Gheddafi would be a better choice.

    Alfano? Jesus christ... But then again, anybody from that party, except Tremonti, deserves to be hanged.

    Yet, Berlusconni has 25% popularity. 1/4 Italians admits they would vote for him, and I believe if it was elections he would gather 30% + from his party only.
