Berlusconi Claims "Right of First
Night" With Female Cabinet Minister
The
ANNOTICO Report
I
am never a big fan of "greedy" heartless right wingers, but I am
starting to be amused by the rather "outrageous" comments attributed
to Berlusconi. Sometimes it is a matter of "speaking his mind"
which can be refreshing, with all the political double speak we are exposed to.
This
time, I believe it was his "mischievousness" that prompted his
comment to Ms. Mara Carfagna 32, a second-term Forza
Italia MP, and a Equal Opportunities member of his cabinet, who was called "The
most beautiful minister in the world" by German daily Bild.
Ms Carfagna has a law degree, is an accomplished swimmer,

close to a live microphone, that he would "marry her like a shot" if

supporters of Carfagna point out that, aside from
appearing topless in calendars and voluptuously underdressed as the eye-candy

Although
Berlusconi is trying on a new statesman-like scowl, he had appeared to find
something intrinsically risible about forming a government. He appointed the
controversial Northern League former dentist, Roberto Calderoli,
to a newly thought-up post as minister for simplification. Perhaps every
country could do with one, but is Calderoli the right
man? It was he who drafted

to tickle Berlusconi
What exactly is

But the old rogue
cannot resist implying that there is more to it than that: clearly he gets a
kick out of seeing his new minister blush. "Dear Mara," he said to
