Add another disgruntled ally to the list of troubles for beleaguered Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. This time it's Gianfranco Fini, a reformed "post-fascist" member of Berlusconi's party who is most frequently named as his successor. An editorial in Il Giornale-the paper owned by the premier's brother-slammed Fini for his alleged collaboration with the left and his failure to defend the PM during his recent bout of sex scandals. Berlusconi denies any tensions with Fini, but that's exactly what he said about his rift with the Catholic Church. Fini is less conciliatory, saying "Everything is not fine." Once again, Italians are predicting "the beginning of the end" of the Berlusconi era; further revelations today that the Prime Minister "indulged his taste for young women on a larger scale than hitherto suspected" may make this a more accurate forecast than previous editions.

Awesome quote at end of the story from Italian-on-the-street:
"Unfortunately, I doubt it," said Marisa Spada. "Wealth is the only aim we Italians have and he represents this best."
NEVER STOP WITH THE BERLUSCONI POSTS, BALK!
So long as the two people who are reading them continue to enjoy, I promise not to!
Haha, it's not *like* an illness with us.
Take it back up to three. Damn you, Superman!
