Berlusconi Italy's Swordsman In Chief

MONSIGNOR GRABASS Berlusconi
Scalpel-enhanced Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi isn't exactly a stranger to philandering—he was prowling for tail when he met his current wife, actress and former topless model Veronica Lario, at a party in the late '80s. He was married with two children at the time. But now, he's focusing his playboy wiles elsewhere, prompting an outraged Lario to pen a front page piece in the opposition paper La Repubblica demanding a public apology from the horny 70-year-old potentate. She's outraged over comments Berlusconi made at a TV awards dinner, where he reportedly told a woman, "If I wasn't already married I would marry you right away," and, "With you I'd go anywhere."
It's not the first time Veronica Lario has spoken out about her husband's indiscretions. When reports about the prime minister's considerable expenditures at a florist's shop prompted speculation of a mistress, Lario seemed to confirm the rumor, asserting that she had received no flowers from her husband.
