Mea Culpa

-
I knew this would get ugly. Last night, it was time for Sylvio to have his say and it wasn't pretty. He characterized the situation over his marriage "a media crime" (so our apology yesterday was obviously not accepted - thankfully he didn't name any names), and said that he still loved his wife "like the whole world" (unless something is lost in transalation here, I find this not very reassuring for Ms Berlusconi and somewhat controversial: did he mean that he loves her as much as everybody else does or that he loves her as much as he loves everybody else?). In any case, it appears that our relationship with Il Cavaliere is now beyond any repair and for this we feel deeply sorry.

PS: Despite our best efforts here at the Balcony, we find the sheer volume of the Sylvio related stories received daily, impossible to cover. Yesterday's developments alone, included a reprimanding from the Vatican, a 17-year old model calling him Daddy (after his insistence - she preferred to call him "grandpa") , and the beginning of the USD 5 bln divorce proceedings. We, therefore, urge our readers to try to keep up with the news through multiple channels since not one single media source could possibly keep up.
