Italy wat r u doin?

[Tornado]

That "other side of the story" looks suspiciously like a bunch of things people in this thread were already aware of and debating against from the start.

 

[Dennisch]

President Giorgio Napolitano is stepping down today as President.

Would it not be hilarious and typical Italian if this could be the moment The Great Seducer Silvio B. grab his chance again?

Ah, Re Giorgio is finally stepping down? 9 years is a long time. Well, the President of Italy is a non-executive head of state so Berlusconi wouldn't be able to do much because his only role as President would be to:

The President of Italy guarantees that Italian politics comply with the Constitution.

Laugh it up, you're not the one who's at a high risk of having an arrogant pimp as a head of State.

But I guess we'll only know who'll replace Napolitano when the Chambers will manage to vote his successor in... About 3 years. Until then, Italy will be safe... Sort of.
