Berlusconi Speaks

Since I cannot find enough nice things to say about the new kit to even form a paragraph, let alone a post, I thought I would take a diversion today and give a humorous tribute to the man who has funded Scudetti nos. 11-18.

Berlusconi is a very busy man, what with his appearances as head of state, owner of AC Milan, and of course his newest diversion, defendant in multiple cases. It can be hard to keep up with all that he says, and hard to translate, too, if your Italian is as poor as mine. So I’ve taken the liberty of providing you with a quick synopsis of what he has said and done lately in a few photos.*

*These quotes may or may not be anything like he said, when you take into account the translation issues, the time differences, and my complete and utter disdain for the man.

What do YOU think he is saying? 

This is a picture of Berlusconi talking to Galliani at Milan’s match. What is he saying? You don’t need to have Italian translation skills, a political agenda, or any news source for this one, just use your imagination!
