It is his reported schtupping of underage girls at these bacchanalian soirees that has finally ensnared him in a legal vice grip from which I doubt even he can escape.
(Berlusconi caught in sex vice grip, The iPINIONS Journal, February 10, 2011)
The irony is not lost on me that it is a female judge who ruled today that prosecutors have established a prima facie case to subject this notorious chauvinist to an expedited trial for having sex with a minor, then trying to cover it up.
Moreover, that he will be tried before a panel of three judges, all of them women.
I am also mindful of the instructive coincidence that this indictment comes just two days after tens of thousands of women took to the streets of Rome and other cities around Italy shouting “Basta!” (Enough!) to protest Berlusconi’s history of denigrating women and defiling their image.
His trial date has been set for April 6. Forget poetic justice; karma, she’s a bitch!
