If Mayor Quimby led a country on crack...

haha that is brilliant

It's funny the different attitudes we have in the UK compared to Italy. If the prime minister did that here he would have to step down immediately, give a tearful apology and claim mental insanity and check into the Priory to avoid a massive fine. An immediate general election would be called and his party would lose by a landslide. His successor would probably apologise to the rest of the world for the shame and humiliation that he caused.

Meanwhile in Italy I bet his popularity increased by 100 points or something and he won the respect of all Italian men

Actually they're trying to prosecute him for mass corruption. He's unbelievably unpopular over there for a man who almost has complete saturation of the media market. Although any leader who survives making jokes at the scene of a natural disaster (the earthquake this year) has to be living a charmed life.

If I put on my sensible head, I see him as a complete bastard, a man who's basically sold his country down the river, & one of the most amoral men alive.

Sadly, the sensible head never gets on as I'm too busy hoping for his next outburst of lunacy. I guess because I don't live there I see the comedy value that I fail to see with Boris Johnson (although Boris is a mere pretender to Silvio's throne).

His days are numbered, let's enjoy the hilarity whilst it lasts

You reckon he'll get a length prison term then?

What about that weird gay pedo politician over there who wrote a book about having sex with asian boys and then condemned the arrest of Roman Polanski as an outrage of justice?

I'd like to see him get sentenced as well...
