How long until he gets busted for using one of them as a humidor?

I think that'll only boost his popularity somehow...

She's better looking than that man-beast that passed as hot during McCain's run for global domination.

Ah, the weekly "Silvio Berlusconi WTF" thread.

eyehate: She's better looking than that man-beast that passed as hot

Oh come on. It only took a quarter of a million dollars to make her look decent.

I think Caribou Barbie is hot. Stupid as a bag of hammers and inherently evil, but hot.

Grande Fratello Fellatio, the Italian version of Big Brother
Am I the only one that read it that way?

At least Obama gave us Hillary Clinton.

oh this is farking stupid.

Is it just me, but when ever someone says anything about a hot politician, I look at the pic and go meh nearly every time.

Well, you might as well have fun
while they are spending your money
and making stupid choices for you.

Sounds like dating a model to me.

Of course this is the same country that elected a pornstar.

Naked-ish Berlusconi and Mara Carfagna, the Minister for Equal Opportunity

NSFW if you don't want arty boobies.

The Italians know Berlusconi is taking the piss, but vote for him anyway. Strange.

Not that there's anything wrong with you...

That dude is the Hugh Hefner of parliamentary procedure.

Sure, she's hot according to American norms... but isn't she just kinda average, compared to other Italian women?

These are Farkers. They fap to animated cartoon characters like Kim Possible and Erin Esurance.

That Italian's one smart cookie.

I don't mean in a "he's smart because these people will raise Italy up against their allies and competitors" way.

I mean in a "Silvio knows that most men are, and I hate to break this to some of you people, farking idiots. And he knows he only has to distract them for a short while with gorgeousness to push his long-term agenda through. And he gets to look at them at work, which is a bonus."

Italy's political structure is one where your coalition (NOTE: not your party by itself, but the group of parties where you happen to have the biggest small chunk of cheese) can muster a mere 42.5% of the votes in the Senate and still win (as he did in 2001). There are enough hormone-riddled lonely men that will vote for the prettiness without understanding the politics, just as there are Americans that bought Britney Spears CDs for her looks without knowing about the Olympic-grade craziness.

From the article:

The future politicians also include Eleonora Gaggioli, an actress best known for her role in the popular television costume drama Elisa di Rivombosa;



Camilla Ferranti, who appeared in Incantesimo, a soap opera set in a cosmetic surgery clinic,



and Barbara Matera, who competed in the heats for the 2000 Miss Italy contest and went on to become an announcer on the state television channel RAI.





I rest my case.

My favorite hot politician

Vera Lischka of Austria

Yaaaay... the country is in economic decline and has ENORMOUS long-term systemic problems. The prime minister is a corrupt mafia collaborator who, because of his political connections, also owns pretty much all of the national media. The governament openly plays with racial incitement.
But heeeeeeeey, hot girls!
(/italian by birth. And thoroughly disgusted with whats happening in his country)

One for the ladies

I'd just like to add eight words.

Beauty contestants? Sarah Palin.

We dodged a bullet.

Not bad, but still can't compare to Yulia Tymoshenko.

/i think i have a problem

moar hott chix pleaz!

Somehow this (new window) all makes perfect sense now...

Her head shot is "meh". I'll need full body nudes to determine her hotness.

Is it because they're all busy riding around on Vespas with no helmets going "Ciao!"?
