Berlusconi and his peak

I'm very pleased to see Bill Emmott, whose judgment I highly respect, agreeing with what I've been thinking since the sex audio tapes came out: Berlusconi is at the peak. And from now on, although sometimes it seems impossible to get rid of this clown, there can be only downhill. We'll see if it'll be a quick one or a painfully long descent. Knowing the man, he'll fight to death. But he's also one that can't tolerate to fade slowly, so he could prefer to burn out - and bring the rest of Italy with him, like the ending of the movie "Il Caimano".

Here's Emmott's article.
