In Italian it is evident he is referring to his sexual prowess. Berlusconismo embraces celodurismo, the guiding principal of the Lega Nord.

Celodurismo, literally "hard bird-ism" or hard-dickism originated with a speech by Umberto Bossi. He incited his followers with the climatic call that the leghisti have always got it hard.

Pride in one's priapism as a political position is not new. Mussolini: vainglorious strutting like an overblown peacock with bulging eyes, nasal rants and well-bosomed squealing claque- so well described by Gadda.

Bossi and Berlusconi are such rivals in hard-dickism that they vowed eternal love to the point both once declared they spend Mondays alone together, no doubt testing who softens first. Berlusconi remarked that he saw more of Umberto than his wife, a fairly empty statement we now know. They may have flacked off after Bossi's ichtus took its toll, sparring alas his tongue. But none the less Berlusconi's mommy's maiden name was Bossi.

that might be 'sparing' or possibly 'spearing' his tongue... sparring i think may be a typo.

are you serious that b's mother was a member of the bossi family?
 i remember that bossi rant about going into attack mode with 'cazzi eretti' the early 90's if i remember, and was gobsmacked at the time.

bossi doesn't seem like the 'latin lover' type, lol.

It's a typo. To spare his tongue.

Berlusconi liked to say that his reconciliation with Bossi was through his mother whose maiden name was incidently Bossi. In the mid-Nineties, Bossi and Berlusconi went through a few years of vicious antagonism and Rosa Bossi allegedly brought back their alliance "because they had the same surname."

The relation between Silvio and his mother was reciprocal worship to the point they likened themselves to the Virgin Mary and her infant. Rosa was bodily translated into their version of heaven.
