Silvio Berlusconi, scandal-scarred ex-Italian leader, dies at 86, according to his TV network

Good riddance this man was a stain on Italy. Corrupt to the core.

The original Trump. Will Italy be holding a massive "Bunga bunga" party in his honor?

Sorry Mr Kip, but nobody out Trumps the Trump. He's a historical figure, like him or not.

Sam,he was trash

He hates Italy and most Italians hate him!

He will be honored by a full state funeral.

From what I understand he was thought of as a but of a card, yet also as a bounder with a fetish for younger women.

Wallace,maybe Mussolini should have post funeral too

according to his TV network

Maybe you mean his former TV network, or the same TV network he once owned when still alive. He just cannot have had anything, also not his own TV network anymore when he has already died before that message has been broadcast.

Good riddance. What a scumbag.

Not going to say bad things about the dead but...you get my drift.

I don't recall who said it but when he was first elected by his party to be Prime Minister I recall one of his western European counterparts referring to him as "Berluskaiser" for his authoritarian, non-democratic tendencies.

I also remember the young Tunisian stripper who was supposed to testify against him in a trial over having sex with an underage woman, her, turned up dead a day or two before she was going to testify. One can almost image her skeletal hand, middle finger extended, poking up from her grave.

Good riddance, bye bye..

The original Trump. 

YES!!.. LOOOOOOL!!..

Berlusconi was a racist ,who showed disrespect for Obama,by calling him tan,I bet Obama privately went off on him
