The Benefits of Being Rich & Powerful

I don't know how many Americans are following the Silvio Berlusconi scandal, so I thought I'd put up a post about it. Apparently the Italian prime minister, who has had a long history of womanizing, has been involved with a 17 year-old (now 18) model. He's 72. That was the final straw for his wife, who is now divorcing him. The whole thing is a big political scandal in Italy, and opposition leaders are attacking him. But surprisingly he's still pretty popular. I doubt any U.S. president could get away with nearly this much. 

Today the Telegraph put up a slide-show of the top 10 women Berlusconi has been involved with. Here's number 3. 

It's good to be the prime minister and richest man in Italy.
