1:23 Italia Blue Baby


Italians go to the polls on Sunday in a general election that could unseat Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi after five years of economic stagnation. Opinion polls have not been published in two weeks, but the prime minister has trailed the opposition center-left, headed by Romano Prodi, for the past two years. Berlusconi, the US government's strongest ally in continental Europe and Italy's richest man, still hopes his promises of tax cuts will swing a surprise victory.The election follows the most acrimonious campaign in decades, with Berlusconi using offensive language against centre-left voters and Prodi comparing the prime minister to a drunk. In one of his tirades against Communists, the prime minister sparked a diplomatic incident with China by telling voters that under Mao Zedong the Chinese Communists boiled babies to use as fertilizer.
Yeah, now they just leave them out to die of exposure, Sorry.
