Do you know Silvio Berclusconi?

Question

hello english people how are you???I want to ask you what do you think about Silvio Berlusconi... last day he said this phrase : "it's better to go with pretty girls that being gay".. Now of course is having problems with italian people.... In my opinion he is pathetic and maniac. What about you??? (sorry for my english, I'm italian)

Answer 1

My impression of him is that he is a womanizer and more than a little corrupt. But to be honest, US media doesn't do a very good job on world events unless those events directly affect the US. That's why I try to read the Economist, which is a British publication and does a better job of that sort of thing.

Answer 2

hello Miss Kite, how are you??? I think he's a freak, but you’ve picked on something he’s said that I’d agree with.



Personally, I think it is better to go with pretty girls than being gay.



He's the last bastion of non-pc comedy left in Europe. That's about the only thing I can give him praise for. Below are a few of my Berlusconi favourites.



In quotes: 24 Berlusconi classics in his own words. Some of these are funny.

‘ At the Brussels summit, at the end of Italy's EU presidency, in December 2003:

"Let's talk about football and women." (Turning to four-times-married German Chancellor, Gerhard Schroeder.) "Gerhard, why don't you start?" ‘ Lol.

Answer 3

Ciao Bella!

Yes we know Berlusconi. We have similar people in the UK, but we don't elect them president of the council - or at least we don't make the mistake twice.

Answer 4

A great guy, refuses to bow down to political correctness.

People often say he should know better being who he is, i just tell them to get a sense of humour.

They're only jokes, i truly believe he doesn't believe in half the stuff he really says.

Answer 5

We have people like Berlusconi in Britain, but they usually write nasty columns in bad newspapers or present nasty shows on television.

Answer 6

He is so pathetic. He is one of the reasons why I emigrated from Italy for good.

Answer 7

Berclusconi isnt taken too seriously here in the UK.

Answer 8

Yes....we are best friends.....and enjoyed dinner together......last night......What else is there to tell you?
