Berlusconi does the honorable thing

[eauclaireliberal]

...short of Hari Kari.

I can think of a few people that need to follow his lead.

[Cha]

1. Doesn't look none

too happy about it, either!

:nopity: Makes me estactic! Another one of the bushpoodles bites the dust.

[gratuitous]

2. Cornered like a rat, with no other alternative

Berlusconi does what the law forces him to do. Inspiring.

[Javaman]

3. He does nothing honorable. He had no choice. he lost. period. nt

5. Hence the Hari Kari reference.

I envisioned that part in the Last Samurai where they hand him the dagger and say "save us the trouble."

4. What a guy---finally steps down after losing an election...

...someone present him with a cookie.

6. On his first visit to the U.S....

When Berlusconi first visited the U.S. after Bush was "elected", he praised him for "conquering" the press. The speech was later edited and that part was left out. What a guy.
