Editors, I think you're missing a 'who' in this translation.

I asked myself, you could represent Italy if I weren’t there?”

He always made me laugh with his eccentric ideas. He brought sunshine into dull politics. I will miss him.

His ouster was long overdue He's a rich fossil who only by virtue of his money and power ( owns a majority of Italy's media ) stayed in office.

Someone should remind him the U.S. Republican presidential nomination is up for grabs, and he could add "white knight" to his resume.

So, Italy's state monopoly on television was broken.......... by replacing it with another monopoly?

How can I say... I am Italian, one of those "youngsters without job in Italy because someone has been to busy to look after its country", and while here in Japan to make research about how Italy can renovate its image in the world, that Italy is collapsing under THAT man. I hope only to get rid of him soon, we have been waiting too long. But here is the problem: WHO will take the lead? There are really good people that can do that, but also really stupid and narrow minded ones that won't listen to them and continue crying "daddy, come back home". For sure.

Tawdry accounts of sexy “bunga bunga” parties turned him into an international laughing stock.

So says the press, so it must be true!

Actually I think you would have a little trouble determining who is laughing at him and who is laughing with him and who is chuckling out of the futility of their own envy. I submit that most men including myself are jealous of his bunga bunga parties, and most men saying otherwise are trying to please a woman or running for political office in America.

If Berlusconi is a joke, that ain't one of the reasons.

The Oingo Boingo party scene for geriatric world leaders sounds thrilling. Do I have to bring my own Depends?

Resign and go home old man with bad toupe, you've hung on too long and made Italy a laughing stock. Donate your fortune to the Italian economy if you're as patriotic as you claim.

Let's see which country grants him asylum when he flees his "crap country" (his own words)...
