Berlusconi without any chances

[Jemmons]

Berlusconi has demanded a recount and was hoping to turn the close election result, but are seen as chanceless now because there are only about 2.100 contested votes and not 43.000. The lower number will not be significant regarding the end result.

12. Berlusconi told: "Lower your tone"

Earlier today, as several Italian newspapers reported that the Interior Ministry had overstated the number of disputed ballots, members of Signor Prodi's coalition asked Signor Berlusconi to concede defeat, saying his protests were damaging the country.

"I want to invite the premier to lower his tone and stop what appears to be a real strategy of tension, an undermining of the electoral victory that increases the bitterness," Massimo D’Alema, a former Prime Minister and a leader of the Democrats of the Left party told Corriere della Sera.

Anyone taking bets on whether BushCo will ever make the same call?

15. Piling on

Bye bye Berlusconi. Just be glad you didn't suffer Il Duce's fate.

Howard, Blair, you're next. Bush won't get rid of Rumsfeldt because he can't afford to loose another neo-con buddy.

[cliss]

16. Good.

The little Danny de Vito look-alike needs to fade away into the past.


Just like José Maria Aznar did in Spain. I don't think there was much crying on his part. At least he went quietly.
