We almost don’t recognize him without the blood all over his face. Anyway, he’s trashing on portrayals of Italians as gangsters, which is hypocritical ’cause he looks like one. source

World: Dear crazy lady who tackled the pope: Hello, viral video superstar

  • Not that Italy hasn’t had enough crazy-people-attacking-world-leaders stories recently, but when it’s the Pope – a universally-adored figured by anyone not currently using birth control – people take notice a little more than they do when it’s Silvio Berlusconi. Pope Benedict wasn’t hurt, by the way, just a little shaken off his A game. source

World: All the Church’s force used against Silvio Berlusconi in attack

  • He was hit with a model of the Milan cathedral. Our favorite Italian Prime Minister who owns absurdly large amounts of the very press that’s supposed to be covering him was still in the hospital resting today. Berlusconi suffered two broken teeth, a broken nose and a cut lip after being attacked by Massimo Tartaglia, a 42-year-old crazy guy. He won’t need surgery but he probably will get a killer story out of it. Isn’t that worth something? source

World: Silvio Berlusconi lost his star power, could lose his mushroom next

Why so sullen, Silv? Is it because you’re an Italian premier about to go on trial on bribery charges? Is it because you don’t have immunity? source

World: Scandal-plagued Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi in a sue-happy mood

  • We have instructed our colleagues to evaluate, according to the laws in their countries, the most serious cases of real, true defamation.
  • Silvio Berlusconi’s lawyer, Niccolo Ghedini • On the decision to file lawsuits against media outlets throughout Europe that have published defamatory articles against him. Considering that Berlusconi owns a number of outlets himself in Italy, wouldn’t it be really funny if he accidentally sued a paper he owned? • source
