April 4th 2006. Our reports from general elections front no. (I lost count). Everybody is a coglione
Many of the left-wing bloggers are calling 'coglione' themselves right now. 'Coglione', which means testicle, balls, stupid idiot, is the adjective our beloved Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi used today to define left-wing voters. Since we are a few days before the elections, and there's been a lot of talking about him going to finally lose his chair and all, apparently he's reacting pretty bad to the trend.
Anyway, although this is actually what he meant, Berlusconi didn't say left-wing voters are 'coglioni'. This is not what he said. He said "I think too much of italians to believe someone would be so much coglione to vote against his own interests".
Now, well, you know. I can't believe it either. Still, that's what has been happening in this country since this country was born, almost 150 years ago. No doubt it is going to happen again this time. Whoever wins. But what can you do? I know we're all coglioni.
