As Italy’s leader tries to use a politician’s affair with a transsexual prostitute to deflect his own scandals, Barbie Latza Nadeau says his misogyny is finally catching up with him.
As if the visual image of Italy’s 73-year-old Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi bedding a call girl in “Putin’s bed” isn’t enough, Italians now have to contend with another politician’s porn-star lifestyle.
