Viva Prodi!


It looks as if Silvio Berlusconi is being pushed out of power in Italy. The margin of victory for Romano Prodi's coalition is narrow enough that Berlusconi is demanding a riconta. It is to be hoped that a recount shows that the left's victory is a bit less narrow. Not having Berlusconi's least gaffe reported for a while will be a relief.

It is clear that Berlusconi's base among phone sex workers was just too narrow to get his leg over this time.
