Lost in Translation?

Never let it be said that Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi lacks star-power, real or manufactured. Consider the Forza Italia candidates he has recruited...

A poll in La Repubblica this week gave the Prime Minister a personal popularity rating of 56 per cent, up four points, and his Government 46 per cent, up two points.

The women will follow in the footsteps of such glamorous figures as Mara Carfagna, the topless model who became Minister for Equal Opportunities.

Let the record show she earned a law degree before her rise. Well, it may not perfectly translate to this country, but we have a similar phenomenon going on.
