The 74-year-old Italian prime minister responded Tuesday to news that a 17-year-old runaway belly dancer spent the night at his home and was given cash and jewelry:
I work extremely hard and if every now and then I look at the face of a beautiful girl then it’s better to be passionate about beautiful girls than gay.
While the girl has insisted no sex took place that evening, the politician faced public inquiry about their relationship when he lied to police to release her from arrest following a 3,000-euro theft.
And who says chivalry is dead?
Ugh. It’s like one of my relatives who had a gay son who died in the 80s from AIDS. To this day he says his son died of a drug overdose. You know, because being a junkie who died from an overdose is SO much better than being gay…
