THE ONLY FLAG OF THE KNIGHT
Bruno Vespa's book is proudly displayed on shelves in a department's books and stationery of a supermarket the sign of the Rider . It gives off a question: what will this sign for sale? The web presentation gives the author the merit of "Angle so paradoxical as unprecedented" by revisiting "the Italian history of the last seventeen years." The wonder lies in following "the path close to Berlusconi's private and public, with its lights and shadows" as the only way to understand "why this man - given to politically finished every time he lost elections - has always managed to rise again, Italian political influence even in the eight years in opposition. " The sign suggested by Vespa in that because not enough light. And not just for shadows too pale. Berlusconi is a Proteus, an "animal" for ratings hasty elusive: its many aspects make the arduous journey toward a dogmatic simplification. Magnate, political, jokes, Epicure de greg porcum (in the words of Horace), womanizer, maniac girls, cheat .. they are all sides of his physical and mental polyhedron, but none appears very prevalent until it can fully characterize . Not only that each of the epithets tends to branch. Say magnate? Of course, it is, but rebound plural: mogul ("Milano 2", "Milano 3 "...), television magnate (not only its 3 networks, including other parts), paper publishing and computer technology, libraries, advertising, agency production programs, and branching off. Political? Sure. But that kind of detail that has (had) a few smaller than previous hybrid versatility Berlusconi. It is also obvious: a guy who loves women and the good life and jokes, and bring in these qualities even more difficult job, just politics, is hardly a unique , (just think of the brothers Kannedy), but no crowd. Of course, Europe has never had a prime minister similar to ours. I say! even remotely comparable.
Yet there must be, in its DNA, a gene that dominates all others. Reading this brilliant and ponderous thriller of a protean author (but very different from Rider) what Giorgio Faletti, the exciting title I am God we encounter a motto highlighted: The only flag . This is the motto that the pirates on their banner printing, and means, literally, "The only flag" in the sense that it 's only excellent, the best symbol (of manhood, strength, etc.). And then I turn on the light bulb indicates that in the comics "idea", to blow the mind: we could only indicate a flat Berlusconi? The association physiological not grant implied hesitation, not only can, but we touch the maximum allowed in the characterization of the character. It is a kind of pirate? does not feel like the best of men outgoing and versatile (business, politics, gallantry ...)? Here, then, a key to effective and flexible enough to interpret the complexity of "wild". Don Silvio is that pile of "things" that is because each print in the trademark of vocation pirate.
valuable genetic, not afflicted, that is, of defects and residual idealistic spiritualist, I repeat that our destiny is written in triplets biochemical chromosome of the double helix. Not that there are inscribed the events of "external" or certain career choices, but how to react and act in whatever you choose, and some restriction choices, yes. In this sense, Berlusconi is a pirate. Moreover, throughout his public life is to prove it: we have written about his impatience with the rules, so to laws and regulations, restrictions, and constitutions and their guardians (the judiciary, constitutional eminences, meetings and political or religious bodies, etc.). . The first round of physiology pirate is the historical friendship with Dell'Utri, mystery-man, but with two clear sentences for Mafia, the first instance and appeal. It may be innocent after the expected transit to the Supreme Court? It is well, but in the meantime Senator leaves traces that can orient in the worst sense: for example, praise the fake (and deceased) groom Arcore, Mangano, which he described as "a hero", while it was filed some time as the Mafia. Don Silvio dellutresco responded with enthusiasm to devote himself to politics. It was born the so-called Second Republic, more than generous funding, land cleared of harassing human obstacles: this version is, quite plausible, some repented and Massimo Ciancimino.
The latest events in the biography of the prime minister, as his every move earlier, shall be based on technical pirate grab and shoot daggers of lies, deceptions, feints and controfinte, screening, functional inventions to his own interest, and denied telephone calls , or "misrepresented". Let's look at dealing with the scandal erupted arrest for theft dell'affascinante Moroccan Ruby: the intervention of Prime beef is now characterized by the buffaloes: the relationship with Mubarak saddled with a minor boy, yet another of his "protected" (there will be other, hidden for now ?). The case is still in full swing, has led to the introduction and amplification revelations on new entrants to the fairer sex involved, involving friends, "domestic" political and television ministers. The first thing that catches the eye is the dissemination of lies "environmental" rather the progressive lie, a cherry leads to another. Mubarak uncle, I entrust it to his "employee", Nicole Minetti (one of the "hen" put in the list supergallo), the dance of "shelters" no place for the girl. And so in silence. But the most beautiful dance, the mother of the other, is that of his buoncuore that led him to help anyone who needs to talk. And not because it is not capable of helping, in fact: the dance was born when the hairy generosity is draped by altruism and selflessness. In the case, a barrel of 5000 € for a time. More expensive gifts. Like the rings of stone in the pond, l 'affaire spreads and involves more people: women, escort in the vein of public disclosures, denials of Ministers involved in paying journalists gratified by Scrooge, as Emilio Fede, lecchismo meticulous record holder, or the dwarf Brunetta, former aspiring-moralizing and punishes lazy. All deny obvious: no one admits to having touched escort minors and innocent beyond a handshake or chaste chaste kisses on the cheeks and innocent face.
It 's the case, adding that the men of his circle of lies and jokes do not shoot less, and not least of hilarious original Carthusian? Take the Cardinals Bondi, that, in response to the usual recital of windbag Galli della Loggia ( Courage Under Fire , Corsera 1 °. Nov). who spoke of truth at the Pirate as a normal man, the threat-expected chaos in any gap Arcor. And the bubble Courier as plagued by fixed Cartago delenda , since the Carthage metaphorical act in both the government and the party that is perched high above. The bravuomo examines the Italian situation, notes the insignificance and impotence of the left than any other shop policy, and preaches: "Berlusconi is merely the victim of profound evil that is gripping this country, the evil which, from politics to culture, from information to justice, mortify and opposes any serious plan of renewal. " In the bottom of this acute pulpit cardinaloide the seer sings the elegy of personal pain for a long debacle: "I live with anxiety these days, not just yet another scandal and judicial campaign against a man for sixteen years under inhuman and without an attack earlier in a Western democracy, but also for the consequences that might ensue. "opposes the languor elegiac Bondi, continuing, an air Savonarola glued to the prediction of those" consequences "and comically optimistic about the absolute value of its Côté politique : "I am convinced fact that only the PDL of Berlusconi and Bossi, the League of Italy today can drive through the waves of the current crisis and ensure a policy of modernization. And I know for a fact that there is an alternative to this policy and this government. The only alternative is chaos and a return to swamp the old policy, which would rapidly Italy towards the abyss and the definitive renunciation to change. "
We just read a rant filled with dried-remodeled neologisms magic little words: the old politics, change, renewal, and so playing. Three decades that repeated, not so much as the Pirate and his ministers wheeler. What are their part, naive and fideistic, but not as witnessed by the candor of the abbey Bondi, perhaps the only one to suffer this bad habit, and even if he has the strength to see, first, and then accuse his patron reality and to recommend the best (or least worst) has at least the excuse of innocence by Novellino . What you can not say a Cicchitto, a Lupi, a Buonaiuti, and so forth, with an eye to the ministers and other female figures of the following, not less than Bondi penetrable by slogans and by the sounds of battle "metaphysics" of the above model: change, renewal, reform, and the like, content-free characteristic, jar dystrophies as neurons. Results: sacralization of speech and semantic chaos. The change may take place in two opposite directions: positive and negative. And what we've seen so far is crawling the second type. But i do not like berluscones dilemmas and see only one color: the blue of success. Che. if it is not yet complete, it's because of the satanic left and his accomplices, Gospel unaware of what they do.
There is no trace of candor, however, the grin obscene Ghedini-shoot zombies when this marvel of a bitch: "Keep an incredible manipulation of a simple phone call when the facts are widely understood. A story completely devoid of any negative connotation you're trying to create a media event and, for some, even legal. " Ghedini concern that the Pirates would receive the treatment Lele Mora, Emilio Fede, Nicole Minetti, "dental hygienist" the prime minister and former dancer, TV, elected at the behest of Silvio, the regional Lombardy (Formigoni list of the political God, then man of all castes), investigated for aiding and abetting prostitution and child abuse. So that illusion, barking, someone from the "conspiracy" be afraid "It would be very serious, even if against Prime Minister Berlusconi is now have witnessed over the years to the most absurd fantasies, anyone could build an artificial type of offense as suggested by certain publications, a behavior that can only be assessed as having content absolutely positive. " Pulling on the breath, after this tour de force on that congested prosetta verbosely notary and unpleasant sounds, imagine what can be more stupid in such a flattering sortie-defense? Going investigations, confessions of converging plural of figures and performances in dance, and that Mr. chatter-pumped by the millions of owner is threatening the wing. And if this arrogance rejoiced reporters and readers at the front peak yesterday, November 2nd, the same, now 3, have the expected revival of Rinaldo in the field: in fact, today's newspapers carry the news that serves the Berlusconi suspected illegal custody of the girl. What else to expect if not titles like this one of Corsera ? The Milan prosecutors: Ruby was the regular foster care. The PDL: the bubble deflates . If the ball PDL rejoices, in his volume Ghedini blaze in vain ... these titles detailing as follows: "Final 'correct', the pressure applied to the screen" (eye of Corsera ). That screening does not disturb the euphoria of the kennel of barking hasty joy. Neither the Knight moves to stop shaking so much premature. Indeed, raises and pushes the sensual hysteria by shooting one of his provocations high resonance: I do blame my weakness for beautiful women? And I'm proud of me coram populo the pride and allspice with a sneer to queers (this nice little word has not ruled, in truth, but I swear that gay dusted in its place it was the public mask). Here's the headline of the cocktail in the whole wide as long Corsera page 10 so dedicated, "Close. The center-right prime minister, at his side, a little thought severe Paola Conca, Pd: "No European political thought, nor would ever, to make a joke so vile against homosexuals." So the chorus of protests is inflated more and more and if the Berlù laughs heartily, in his heart, despising hypocrisy (what else could be for him, this prudery ?). But let us turn to the text of the article, where the precise words of the mandrill are these: "Better to be passionate about beautiful girls to be gay." Tie. The reporter provides: "A sentence that has forced the agencies to overwork for the avalanche of reactions that resulted. " The sortie (the Fair) is part of a defensive strategy that blends the proven provocative measure "number" of the process to those who process: the judiciary, press, television formats hostile. He Svampa of public outrage, but if you enjoy it: this dual reactive does not enter the "conscience" of his detractors, nor in those of advisers. E ', its a genetic drive, which can not resist. This recurrence of sexual pranks (harmless gallantry or ladies with foreign institutional) to amuse him, so to speak, like a fan: for the play itself and the reactions moralesche which raises around him. It happens to people of exemplary social fairness and strict moral sense a motion of sympathy for this daredevil goliardic unpunished and unrepentant. That's chutzpah can make amends for his own repeated bravado. A non-laughable part of Italy with many people love this Rodomonte lives of deception and economic success. It is not a case, the presence of many characters of the fair sex among its employees, from ministers to ... sutler. The Buccaneer love confession in public, so that has to suffer if his refrain: he knows that many people like and some do not mind the beautiful women, fascinated, if not by his physique, his billion, a sign of savoir fair and that counts. Here's another public confession (this, "allocated" in Brussels): "I love life, love women. I make a life by inhuman efforts. If you occasionally feel the need for a relaxing evening, no one can make me change my lifestyle, I'm proud of. ".
Faced with such steadiness of consistency between saying and doing, his detractors have a difficult life. Like the plastic pupazzone a few decades ago, Don Silvio you can bend it to the ground for a few seconds, but when the soft return straight: it was called "Ercolino still standing." You say, then there is nothing to do? We must resign ourselves to the expectation of his death stuff? Remember that joke of a famous film with the legendary Bogarth: "It 's the press, beauty! And you can not help it. "So it's Buccaneer Berlù. Then, let's face it all: what kind of opposition we meet? pale people: of thought, program, public speaking (absent). The only opponent is tough and consistent Di Pietro, and "fled" like the plague by certain so-called leadership of the center (not to mention incense Center!). There's also Cricket, it is true, but even he, useful and convincing, does not attract enough of the "serious people". The duo Toni-Beppe is too emotional, sciamanna, screaming for notaries reasons for opposition "assimilated." Neither the opposition parties is little less cohesive and compact to the contrary, potential fault lines making it unsafe to continue the consistency of resistance. For example, the coexistence between Catholics and laity vaticanofili shy: how can weld in compact homogeneous software? We know the objection: if we lose the Catholics, what are we left? To say optimistic, half party. Answer: best compact vehicle that an entire ragged. The same is true for some young men susceptible to casinerie: better to lose than to find them (even if they have famous names!).
Returning to the buccaneer. Dilettiamoci a little 'to the nonsense of the followers and critics of him naive or worse. Cicchitto, a top priority: Whence the confidence that flaunts the fate of the government? And why not accept outside support from Fli? Of course, carry out the premier of his pranks. Distinguish between loving women and minors attend? E 'word. Better glide, fly, roll out a pious silence on the handsome boy from 5000 € to meet (his father, says Cicchitto, pure work of charity, as claimed by the parent). At cicchitterie Adolfo Urso [Fli] answered: "The joke is on gay inn, as we did bad in Italy at internationally. " Maybe. But Silvio say: you are making a mess of a provocative joke. Do you lack arguments over weight? Julianne Moore: "Did he really say that? I think a review archaic, stupid, miserable, embarrassing. " Interpreter of a film about a lesbian relationship than anything else to expect?
Alfonso Signorini, editor of the weekly Who gay, said: "I'm sure it was a joke, but when he is very unhappy and so they say." Distanced himself, but not desert: "I'm always on your side and support him. We talked more times of homosexuality and I never found prevented. I myself are proof clearly established, since I run two battleships as Mondadori Who and Smiles and Songs . The reaction tranchant owe it to the wide mouth of Santanché: What shocked you, you bunch of bigots? All (by implication, men) think so, even if they have the courage to say so. And suddenly there was not responsive to wait. But for once that mouth deserves praise and not the desired AWAY plus gai (gay, not gay !) commitments. But stop to what is now more gossip than drama.

At the time this article to fire an event (the capital is not a slide button) to stop us: the triumph (not a clerical error ) of purposes at the first convention of Fli Bastia Umbra (Perugia): A Fini unexpected, giving the ultimatum to Berlusconi: go! This is the hard substance of the exploit and pure oratory finiano. The items that contain it are less severe, but aftertaste ambiguous un'infiltrazioncella not without irony. Here they are: "Berlusconi must show courage (sic), give a bird's wing: he were to resign and start the discussion for a new agenda and a new program." In short, a new government. With the Allies themselves, if there are, but also with the UDC. A thunder of applause from the people of the new party, mostly young people. But no frills in nostalgia. We'll deal with, perhaps, a situation ripe. For now, we record the replica of Pirate indirectly as a St. Thomas: I do not see (and touch) I do not think. Clear: "I distrust in Parliament, if he wants to take responsibility." The throne trembles: Berlusconi still hopes not to have lost the majority in the House, but the certainties have grown wings and tend to fly away. The policy framework is in full swing, while the dispute with its accumulated from Pirate vitelloneschi hazards (not only) is far from exhausted.
Ruby The matter is not closed, nor in a political sense or in the judiciary. Other revelations confessions and investigations have broadened the scope of pluralissimo case . There's half the facilitation of prostitution, child abuse and street celebrating. And there, above all, the hoard of criticism and consequent demands made on account of the long speech Fini: no one can govern without law, Italy does not deserve the Ruby case, much less that its archaeological treasures and polverizzino collapse on their own (home of the gladiators at Pompeii), the its territory falls apart under the wrath of Jupiter over the still pestilential pluvio or toxic waste piled up and buried millions of tonnes innocuizzante without proper treatment. Do not even deserve the bad impression that the lightness of the histrionic premiser gave her abroad.
