Forget about Herman Cain and his (alleged) roving eye. Forget about Anthony Weiner and John Ensign and all the other elected officials in this country accused of hanky-panky. When it comes to sex scandals, no one comes close to Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. What will Italy do without him? From Business Insider:
There are some that say that we are too hard on Berlusconi -- that his love for the female sex is natural, and besides, it's natural. But just imagine if any other Western leader was accused of the following:* Cheating on his wife.
* Cheating on his wife, repeatedly.
* Cheating on his wife with prostitutes, repeatedly.
* Cheating on his wife with underage prostitutes, repeatedly.
* Filling the government and the European parliament with unqualified women he might have cheated on his wife with.
* Exerted pressure on the entertainment industry to hire women he may have cheated on his wife with.
* Been photographed with the rough equivalent of Snooki sitting on his lap.No - we're probably not being hard enough. Berlusconi's love of women is not only immoral, but it's illegal, and just plain stupid. And remember, these are just the girls we know about...
