Candidates- appointees is more appropriate- for B's entity must correspond to current celebrity stereotypes. There are several other criteria, such as the "Indira Gandhi ploy" which consists of using or acquiring a famous surname or name that attracts votes. The Berlusconi variant consists of choosing people with the same name of popular sport's figure (Paolo Rossi), a prominent philosopher (Bobbio), an historical opposition leader or similar to foreign figures (Giorgio Bucci who looks and dresses just like George Bush) or look-a-likes: there is presently a candidate who looks like Tony Blair, just as there have been Ridges and Michael Jacksons (before his trials...)

In effect his political entity aspires to be an all-inclusive sit-com microcosm while in the back room his thugs engineer an authoritarian state in the name of freedoms.

B reviews candidates for their telegenic value. He substituted one of his grovelers in Umbria because his ears stick out. He gave him the name of a plastic surgeon. B describes opposition candidates as ugly and smelly as if his manic compulsion for commercial brands of cleanliness are the all-exclusive Norm of his modern Italic nation. No hairy armpits, sweat, or sagging tits for the great Italic race!

As for the "rose quota" as it's called here, the only criteria appears to be how hot they are in Putin's bed. It's definitely a slight at his ex-wife who had blocked his previous attempts to appoint his lays to power.

The "slut" factor, along with the "blackmail" factor and the "shameless groveler" factor, are the cement, the essence, of berlusconi's personal political entity. Tits and ass go a long way in Italy's present day political arena.
