Silvio Berlusconi is 75 today, here's a birthday quiz.

4/10 for me

8/10, but I read a lot of Italian press, so a bit of an unfair advantage.

five out of ten, and I was guessing on a couple....

One has to wonder how much more of The Berlusconi Show even the Italians are willing to put up with...

Well, things could be worse...

They could be stuck with the German Chancellor....

I hear she's an unfuckable lard ass....

100%!










That is I guessed 100% of the time and got 3/10.

5 of out ten, but I guessed on everything but the Mubarik connection and how to say seventy-five in Italian!

It would appear that even they have figured out that enough is enough, and that there is too much at stake to continue to be distracted by his soap opera. His approval ratings are in the toilet; if an election were to be held now the primary parties of the opposition would win a clear majority. Church leaders who in the past have tended to avoid taking him to task for behaviour in his personal life are making ever more pointed references to the "depravity of the country's leadership". He is facing open rebellion within his own party as potential successors jockey for position, knowing that for him to remain as leader for the next elections would mean certain defeat.

The magic is definitely gone.

Got the how to say seventy-five in Italian correct, and one other!

5/10 with some WA-guessing.

He does make our choice of presidents much less embarrassing.

rubato

4 out of 10...every answer was a guess except how to say 75 in Italian.

I knew the one about 75 in Italian, and the one about Mussolini....took an educated guess on some, and a WAG on others...
