As expected, the usual flack of two-bit lawyers and the coterie of cicisbei is whining about the violation of some sort of privacy that Mr. Berlusconi is supposed to have a right to.

As a public figure who has dominated and transformed the Italian political and cultural scene for over two decades, Berlusconi has no right to privacy. As far as I'm concerned the bastard should be filmed daily while he shits in the town square. Which is effectively what he does.
