The farce in Italy after the elections is almost as comical, in a sad and sardonic way, as the ongoing farce with our own government. There is a similarity about both – the clown who is misemployed as ring-master. The sayings of President B Liar are being collected for the dark side of his Presidential library which will continue to support him and his desperate wife after all the freebies and scams have gone away. Those of the Italian clown are just as funny.
I’ve never managed to form any great attachment to Italy or Italians but it is sad to see what is happening there. No one deserves the ‘leadership’ they have. Even if the man Prodi is allowed to drop his bags and baggage in the seat of power, Berlusconi will still be there. Looking over his shoulder. Wrecking all his initiatives.
