Berlusconi wins confidence vote

[Emirates 24/7] Silvio Berlusconi

's
...current Italian prime minister, known for his plain (for a European politician) speaking and his liking for hookers a third his age or less...
government won a confidence vote on a bill in parliament on Tuesday, bringing temporary relief to the Italian premier after crushing defeats in local elections and a round of referendums.

The government had turned a vote on a law for minor economic reforms into a show of confidence in the lower house, as Berlusconi prepared to reassure his supporters of his leadership in a speech to parliament later on Tuesday.

#1 Honestly, I think that he is one of those rare individuals that hires women not as prostitutes, but for their aesthetic value at his parties. Every one mentioned had some ability or talent and provided entertainment for his guests.

This is an upper class custom, as it is quite expensive.

It also makes sense, because in his circles, cocktail parties are often drab, because all guests can talk about are politics and work. Anything that *isn't* that is a big splash, precisely because it isn't politics and work.

Elaborate food and drink will only take you so far. So he brings in dancers, and many women just to stand around and be talked at, because they are attractive.

But none of the other classes imagine this is possible. They must be prostitutes because that is what women do in exchange for money.
