I knew It
Earlier today, on Democracy Now, I heard that Italian Prime Minister Slyvio Bellisconii has come out and said that he was never in favor of the war in Iraq. Bellisconii claimed that he never believed the war was the right way to deal with terrorism and Saddam Hussien. When I heard this the first thing I thought of was is he fighting for reelection. Just now I started listening to the archive of a local show that aired last night. One of the first things they said about this story was that Bellisconii is fighting for reelection next year. I am not surprised that Bellisconii decided to speak his opposition to the war after his ratings fell and he began lose in the polls. Bellisconii is not losing to the opposition party's candidate in the polls.

2. Berlusconi's is one of the great demogogue's of the modern world...
he'll say whatever's popular to get elected. His Forza Italia party twists so deeply in the wind, it's staggering. Plus, with his media connections, it'd be something like if Fox News was itself a political party, not just shilling for one.

Berlusconi, like Rupert Murdoch and the rest of these shriveled, soulless husks, represent the worst cross-pollination of media and politics. The man is a cheap polyester suit posing as an Armani. Were I Italian, I would be ashamed to call him my leader. Of course, I'm an American, so I am entirely sympathetic to that shame.
