Uh Oh, Silvio Redux

And now, this world news update; it looks like Italy may be ready for another round of fun with “Prime Minister Jesus” (another country besides this one is currently preoccupied with a national election).

As Der Spiegel reports here…

Attempts to form an interim government in Italy have failed and President Giorgio Napolitano has been forced to dissolve parliament and call fresh elections for April. Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's center-right coalition is way ahead in the opinion polls and the media magnate looks likely to secure a third term in office.

The story also notes that former Prime Minister Romano Prodi’s government recently lost a no-confidence vote after only 20 months in office.

I wonder if Silvio will pledge to abstain from sex pending the election results as he did here, or encourage any fishy ingénue entrepreneurs as he did here?

I have no idea what will happen next in Italian politics, but I really believe it will be a lot more interesting with Berlusconi in the spotlight once more. And not considering our own election for a minute, I should note that we need all of the comic relief we can get.
