He sounds well-qualified for Republican primaries.
An Italian court has accused the former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi
and his lawyers of tampering with evidence by paying off witnesses in a
trial related to his notorious "bunga bunga" parties and has asked
prosecutors to investigate the possible corruption of a judicial
process.
The accusation in the court's ruling could lead to a new
legal headache for Berlusconi, who this week was kicked out of
parliament for at least six years because of another, unrelated problem:
a tax fraud conviction.
The court suggested Berlusconi paid off
the would-be showgirls who attended his dinner parties so they would
play down the sexually charged nature of the evenings when they
testified. He did so, the judges asserted, because he was facing related
charges in another case involving accusations that he paid for sex with
an underage prostitute who was also a "bunga bunga" guest.
Citing
testimony and telephone wiretaps, the Milan court said Berlusconi
convened about a dozen young women at his Milan mansion on 15 January
2011 to meet his lawyers after the women's homes were searched as part
of a police investigation into the parties.
From then on,
the judges wrote, the women each received €2,500 (£2,000) every month
from Berlusconi and subsequently offered unusually identical testimony
in court, denying the parties had sexual overtones.
Making this famously fake video more accurate than ever.

Louisiana doesn't mind bunga-bunga.
The mental image of Berlusconi in diapers is, um, well, let's not go there, hmm?
damn. i erased that onion hit.
The sad thing is they'll vote him in again, same as if he were a Rethug in Alabama. Conservatives would elect a baby raping squid monster as long as he's a Republicant. "He may be a baby raping squid monster, but Obama's black."
