Witchy Woman

"Around 3,000 armed troops have been patrolling Italian cities and guarding sensitive sites since August. Mr Berlusconi, who was re-elected for the third time last year, said the aim was to increase "ten-fold" the military presence in order to confront "an evil army" of criminals.
When the opposition said the soldiers had done nothing to reduce crime, Mr Berlusconi responded by saying that Italy did not have a large enough force to avoid the risk of attacks on women.
"We could not field a big enough force to avoid this risk [of rape]. We would need so many soldiers because our women are so beautiful," he said."

"The 72-year-old billionaire, whose fondness for flirting with women has earned him public reprimands from his wife, was accused of being flippant about a very serious matter.

"Berlusconi ought to refrain from saying offensive things about women," said Vittoria Franco, the shadow equality minister.
"Basically what he is saying is that if women leave home alone they run the risk of being raped or attacked because it is not possible to make the country safe," she said."
