Berlusconi :
Flirtatious or Cuckhold ???? And Poll says Victoria
Wrong
The
ANNOTICO Report
In
this latest uproar on Berlusconi, regarding his wife Veronica, demanding a
public apology via a Letter written to La Repubblica,
the Rome newspaper, always a strong critic of Berlusconi, which I
reported on February 4,
55%
of Italians thought it was wrong of Veronica, and only 33% thought it a good
idea
Her
Public and Strong Remarks were in response to several flirtatious remarks
reported overheard being said to a few extremely attractive women.
One
of the Remarks said to fellow guests about Mara Carfagna,
a former Beauty contestant winner and now an MP for his Forza
Italia! party was: "Take a look at her! I'd marry
her if I weren't married already."
Said
to Aida Yespica, former Miss Amazonia was: "I'd
go with you anywhere".
I've
heard much worse at dinner parties when wives have said about another women's
husband as an obvious compliment. " He is
terrific, I wouldn't fight too hard if he was trying to get in my bed".
And the Wives response was
Good
Luck, But he's All Mine!!!!
And
"I'd go with you anywhere", (as an escort) is a far cry from
"Lets go to my Suite this evening, and plan on having breakfast there in
the morning"
A
Troubled Marriage
His
wife Veronica's Very PUBLIC and very CHIDING remarks are puzzling since, Rumours that Mr. Berlusconi's marriage is in trouble have
been circulating for years.
The
Affair
The
Remarks are even more puzzling since in 2002, Berlusconi appeared to suggest
his wife was having an affair with the philosopher and mayor of
Another
version of Belusconi's comment was Peter Popham in Pandemia: " Last October...
At
his side, Rasmussen's own smile froze on his face. What on earth was the
Italian talking about? Berlusconi was alluding to rumours
doing the rounds that he had been cuckolded by a bearded Marxist philosopher
called Massimo Cacciari, a former mayor of
Berlusconi,
A very prideful man, PUBLIC ALLY admits
that he has been cuckolded?????
But
it gets even better!!!!!! Veronica "
obliquely added her own endorsement to her husband's amazing
"cuckold" declaration. "My daughter Barbara has enrolled in the
philosophy faculty of San Raffaele University, where Cacciari
teaches," she told the reporter with no prompting. "It seems an ideal
situation, don't you think?"
AND
you can add IRONY to the Situation: "
Berlusconi first clapped eyes on his future wife, then a hopeful young actress,
at a production of a play called "The Magnificent Cuckold". !!!!!!
But
I ask you, if Veronica had/has an Affair with Cacciari,
and it is so commonly known that Berlusconi makes Public Reference, to
take some of the "sting" out of it, AND Veronica more than
INFERS that her daughters studying at the same university that Cacciari teaches is "ideal" .....WHERE Does
she get the GALL to be INSULTED by Berlusconi's Flirtatious Remarks, and PUBLIC
ALLY DEMAND an APOLOGY ????????
Berlusconi
Remarks about Women
And
regarding his Remarks about women, I find no offense at all. In fact, I find
them particularly amusing, especially when said to stuffy, pompous,
pretentious, two faced, fork tongued , hypocritical
politicians. For instance:
Berlusconi on
women
At a congress
of an allied party: "I
notice some extraordinarily pretty legs around here."
Addressing
On
Commenting on
his government's opposition to moves to earmark a fixed proportion of seats in
parliament for women:
"We very much like [having] women in parliament - especially beautiful
ones."

Rome- Veronica Lario's decision to publicly scold her husband Silvio Berlusconi for his roving eye was ill judged, most
Italians appear to think.
According to a
poll issued on Thursday by research group Ipr
Marketing, only 33% think it was a good idea for Lario
to air her grievances in a letter to Italian daily La Repubblica.
For 55% of
respondents, Lario was wrong to go public while 12%
said they had no opinion on the issue.Lario's actions
won more support among women, with 37% saying they approved compared to 29% of men.More than 30% said they thought Lario's
decision was politically motivated.
The public spat
between Lario and Berlusconi held the country in
thrall on Wednesday, as well as making headlines
around the world.British daily The Times even carried
a spoof letter from the former premier to his wife.
Lario, an ex-actress who goes
by her stage name and has been married to the centre-right leader for 27 years,
stunned Italians by discarding her famed reserve and demanding a public apology
from her husband for belittling her with his flirting.
In her letter
published on the front-page of La Repubblica, Lario referred to comments Berlusconi reportedly made to
several young and glamourous showgirls during a gala
dinner given after a top TV award ceremony last week.
"My husband
made remarks I find unacceptable: 'If Iweren't
already married, I'd marry you straight away' and
'I'd go anywhere with you'."These statements
undermine my dignity and, given thage, political role
and family situation of the person who said them, cannot be written off as
playful comments," Lario said in the letter,
which was all the more embarrassing for Berlusconi since it appeared in the
country's leading left-wing daily.
Within hours,
Berlusconi had duly apologised with another letter
faxed to Italian media organisations."I treasure
your dignity in my heart even when a lighthearted joke, a gallant remark or a momentary
trifle comes out of my mouth.
"I beg you to forgive me," said the billionaire media tycoon, who admitted that his marriage was undergoing
a
period of "trouble and turbulence" but told his wife that it
was "sure to end in sweetness, like all true love stories".
Born Miriam Raffaela Bartolini,
Lario is Berlusconi's second wife and, at 50, is 20
years his junior.
Berlusconi left his first wife for Lario, smitten
after seeing her perform topless in a
Magnificent Cuckold about a philandering husband.
They have three
children: two daughters, aged 22 and 20, and a son, aged 18.Despite being the
wife of one of
this "reserve" and was doing so partly to protect her dignity as a
woman but also to set an example for her children.
The
youthful-looking Berlusconi, who has admitted to aface
lift and a hair transplant, has always cultivated a
playboy image and been linked by the gutter press to a string of young and
beautiful women.
The recipients of
his reported admiration at the gala dinner were Venezuelan model and showgirl
Aida Yespica and
Mara Carfagna, an ex-showgirl whom he made an MP with
his Forza Italia party.
Lario's open criticism of her
husband's behaviour sparked a political debate, with
many centre-left and opposition women lawmakers defending her. Most male
politicians took a different view, saying that Lario
should have kept her grievances private. The case dominated the Italian media,
with TV current affairs shows ditching their scheduled programmes
to cover it.
Even the Church
weighed in, with Cardinal Ersilio Tonini
saying that Lario's letter had "stirred my
heart".
It is not the
first time that Berlusconi's comments about women have landed him in trouble.
He sparked tensions with
On another
occasion, Berlusconi astonished Americanjournalists
by urging Wall Street businessmen to invest in
[RAA: You use what works, and since Wall Streeters
are well known for being "hound dogs", and think with their penis, Berlusconi's comments would seem MOST
effective!! :) :)]
