Letter of the day

From a faithful reader:

Dear Mr. exCathedra--
I know that you avoid the salacious and favor
the intellectual, disdain the pedestrian and exalt
in the anointed, but you should be paying
attention to "Rubygate," the current Belusconi 
trial. This is the piu grande scandolo del mondo*.
It involves Ruby Rubicouri (Ruby Heart-Stealer), a
16 year old Moroccan pole dancer, a 74 year old
media giant, and the most virtuous judge in all
of Christendom. 

Mr. Clinton and Ms. Lewinsky are pilgrims in comparison.

*biggest scandal in the world



The embattled Premier of Italy



The possibly under age pole dancer


The righteous judgess


I had let this bit of magical Italian opera buffa slip by me. I am linking to the Reuters version, since they are the Comedy Central of the MSM.

The only thing Italians love more than a good scandal is a good automobile accident.

Thanks to my lettore fidele.

The older regime in Italy was more meaningful, imho:

»In 1957, Ponti obtained a Mexican divorce from his first wife and married Sophia Loren by proxy. Divorce was still forbidden in Italy and he was informed that he would be charged with bigamy if he returned to Italy and Loren would be charged with "concubinage".« (wikip)
