The Thick as a Tea Party Member Award
Silvio Berlusconi
for: arrogance, stupidity and decidedly dodgy-dealing in public office.
(The U.S. Republican Party’s candidates very nearly won for a collective display of ignorance over several categories, not least geography: e.g. Africa is a country, we're told.)
I'm sure I never saw more than half a dozen newspaper photos of Berlusconi over the years, and didn't pay much attention to them when I did.
He was all over the TV news recently, though, and there were plenty of clips that made me wonder if he had had a hair transplant. His hair looked so odd I wondered if it was really hair or if he had applied dye to his scalp.
I just checked, and it looks as if he indeed has had a transplant. Here he is in a recent photo. That hairline doesn't appear in this older photo.
Vanity, thy name is Berlusconi.
The Italians I know say that he has had plenty of plastic surgery in addition to the hair transplants. Side note: never innocently ask "What's a Nutella party?" when in the company of drunk Italians. Bunga bunga!
wonder if he had had a hair transplant.
A friend of mine in Poland swore that Silvio had hair transplant done by a fiend of his.
It could be that it was easier for Silvio to do it outside Italy.
Looking at the pics, I have to agree with NA.
