We Americans like Italian food, Italian women, Some Italian Cars and vacations in Italy.
We know little or nothing about Italian politics but then few Italians seem to know anything about Italian politics either.
We are so messed up about our own politics that we haven't any intellectual room for yours.
Have a great day

Aaargh! I shudder to even think of Italy these days, and so do many of my Italian friends in London.
I think he's a greasy, narcissistic, smarmy, little fascist. - Living proof that all you need to do is control the media outlets to win an election. Italy, or more accurately Capri, is one of my fave places in the world, so it's horribly disappointing to have to wade through the bs of current Italian politics.
Apparently, all crimes are committed by immigrants these days, and little tinpot Mussolinis are popping out of the woodwork to lynch anyone who looks like an immigrant. I think it's an absolute disgrace, and I am deeply sorry for the Italian people who have to endure this period of Berlusconi. It's no wonder he's a friend of another greasy git: Our Tony Blair.
