Silvio Berlusconi denounces furore over links with 17-year-old girl

La Repubblica claims Moroccan girl suspected of theft was released after direct intervention from prime minister

Oh thrilling!

According to La Repubblica, she told investigators she had attended three social events at Berlusconi's villa outside Milan, but had never had sexual relations with him. She had been taken to the first – a Valentine's Day party – in an official car with a police escort and, when she arrived, she found that Fede and the then 73-year-old Berlusconi were the only men among some 20 women.

The paper quoted her as saying a second party had ended in an erotic game known to those present as "bunga bunga". According to different newspaper accounts, Ruby claimed to have received ¤30,000 or ¤150,000 from the prime minister.

An opposition spokesman called for Berlusconi to make a statement to parliament.

I presume that was Lira not Euros.

I don't think the Italians use Lira any more

We do have Italian-style politics!

I had a one-night-stand with Christine O'Donnell.

Really? What's this the creeping forces of EU'ness?

The Lira, the Franc, the Peseta, the Drachma, the Mark, the Escudo, the Irish Punt - all have been replaced by the Euro.

The British Pound still stays but its value against the Euro has declined to about 1.10 Euros to the Pound. If the Euro wasn't artificially supported the Euro/Pound rate would be about 1.40 Euros to the Pound, but Pigs might fly first.

Og

PS. All currencies are artificially manipulated by their governments. The Pound, the Dollar, the Yuan, the Yen - free market trading is distorted by government meddling.

Well then if, "Ruby claimed to have received Eu 30,000 or Eu 150,000 from the prime minister." She was well paid for three parties!

Hell, I'd go every week at those rates.

30 grand and no blow job, Christ the guy is old, and stupid!

We got GWB and he was just stupid.
