I only see when his face is bloodied, not when and from where the object flies in. Does the Italian media report anything on the perpetrator?

The perpetrator is a 42 year old man with no criminal record, nor is he affiliated with any party or movement. He is under psychiatric cure for the past ten years in the public medical structures. The nature of his mental disturbance is not yet known. He is currently being interviewed by medical personnel.

So will this play as "Yo'ld have to be mad to hit Berlusconi" or "Even a madman can see how much of a disaster he is" ?


Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

So how will he blame this on the Left and the Red Robes?

They blame it on the "climate of hate created by the Left." As the TV ga-ga girl turned minister, Mara Carfagna, put it, the left is the nurturing crib of aspiring terrorists just as the communist party fathered the red brigades. The poor thing has a fucked up idea of historical fact.

Actually, Berlusconi visited Lukachenko recently- hailed him as a great democrat, loved by his people- and received four dossiers on Italy and the Eastern bloc. Three dossiers deal with WWII. The last dossier smells surprisingly similar to the farragoes produced by the Mitrokhin commission alleging that the Italian Communist Party colluded with the communist satellite states to foster terrorism in Italy. I suppose he asked Luk if he could slip in a fourth dossier...

We are being browbeaten by the media about our supposed crimes for months now.  

Berlusconi will pull out these dossiers under elections just as he did in 2006. Same tired script.

PS. The robes are red for all the blood judges have sacrificed in the name of the law.

Standard feature of Italian elections since 1948.

Any hope this tactic is not so effective with younger voters?

Polls- real polls- last week showed a surprisingly high level of insufferance and disapproval towards B among the young. The other age groups balance it out to par.
This followed his tirade at Bonn against the Left, the constitutional court and the president of the republic.
