"You can take the boy out of the country but not the country out of the boy" - Berlusconi in Italy and Tom Golisano in New York - by Chris Stevensen

"So much for post-racial America. Are we there yet? Who could fathom that back in September 9 the New York Democrats would win the majority seats in the Senate 32-30, clearing the way for the first Democratic majority leader in 40 years and the first African American ever to take such a position. This saw the emergence of Smith. There was just one small problem, Smith had some ideas of his own-as all individuals do I hear-he wanted to make the Senate more open, more transparent and bipartisan according to a web bio. Powerful whites are getting enough of that today from Obama. Under Smith the new majority fired 4 men who were hired locally, as the saying goes, you can fire people but you can't fire money. Attempts to get the un-fantastic four rehired were unsuccessful, thus began the coup. At some point Tom Golisano (money) of Florida-and sometimes even New York I hear-became a Chile-Dog Democrat and began plotting with Puerto Rican American Senators Pedro Espada Jr. from the Bronx and Hiram Monserrate of Queens to break rank and join the republicans and get Dean Skelos appointed as Majority Leader. Obviously usurping Smith."

Note EU-Digest: "When you read Chris Stevensen's detailed and most interesting report one can see how much of what is happening politically in America is now also being copied in Europe. More and more Politicians are owned either by corporate or criminal money. Just take EU's member state of Italy, where you have PM Silvio Berlusconi. This is a 73 year old man leading Italy, who by his behavior has landed himself in hot water with almost all of Italy's EU partners and many world leaders. Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, will not soon forget that at a recent Nato event, Mr Berlusconi kept her waiting by talking on his mobile phone with his back turned to her, or that he once taunted a German MEP by saying he was "perfect" material for a concentration camp guard.

A recent trial proved that Berlusconi had corrupted an English lawyer, Mills, to get a false testimony from him; a law masterfully crafted by Berlusconi's lacqueys only a year ago is now preventing his impeachment. Recently Berlusconi's wife Veronica Lario publically announced she is asking for a divorce, and claims Berlusconi is a "sick and sexually obsessed man" and should seek help. So far Berlusconi is getting away with all this because the Italians continue to support him. Unfortunately there is no equivalent of a Bill Maher in Europe, who is able to expose all the political "hankey pankey" going on in the EU empire, or to make a statement that Berlusconi is corrupt and should be thrown out by the Italian voters."
