BBC News - Berlusconi 'suffers blow to face'

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has reportedly been struck in the face after leaving a meeting in Milan.

He was reportedly left bleeding from the mouth. It was not clear whether the injury was caused by a punch or an object thrown by a protester.



The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

There's more on it in Sunday's open thread. The object was a tourist replica of the Duomo of Milan. The man who threw it has been under psychiatric cure for the past ten years.

Berlusconi's minions appear at set intervals to denounce the climate of hate created by the Left and politicized judges that armed the hand of the aggressor.

From the hospital Berlusconi declared that he was saved by a miracle for he almost lost an eye.

From Repubblica: Sales of replicas of the Duomo up:

Sono molti i curiosi che prendono d'assalto bancarelle ed edicole in Piazza del Duomo a Milano per vedere, fotografare e comprare la statuetta che ieri sera ha colpito in faccia il presidente del Consiglio
