Berlusconi Chats Before Bedtime
The heretofore unknown romantic voice of Silvio Berlusconi is heard here, along with some slight panting, as a woman, Patrizia D-Addario, described as an “escort,” secretly records an exchange in the Italian prime minister’s boudoir, in Rome, sometime during early November, 2008.

Your tags, Caro, are far more lascivious than Mr. Berlusconi himself. Frankly, I’m disappointed. Wait for me on Putin’s bed, seems so, er, perfunctory. Not very Italian at all, although I suppose it does suffer a little from the translation, and from the stuffy Brit voiceover. No sex, we’re British may be a well-deserved stereotype after all, particularly among the chattering classes. One suspects that downing a battered and deep-fried Mars bar is as close as any of them have come to an unbridled moment.
Maybe it was the great leader’s futon.
