With all due respect to the Italian nation, any embarrassment coming from the antics of their Prime Minister is well earned.
Mr. Berlusconi has shown himself to be racist, misogynistic and anti-democratic, with a limited respect of the law only to the extent that he can pass legislation benefiting his businesses and protecting himself from his criminal trials.
And yet he is reelected.
What we receive from him is more of the same and italians can only be tainted by these characteristics brought by their leader.
You get what you vote for!
