Silvio Berlusconi Offers To Rename His Party After Women’s Genitals

by Kirsten Boyd Johnson  

World’s most overcompensating de facto dictator hump-monster Silvio Berlusconi made a dumb joke that he would like to rename his sagging political party Forza Gnocca, or “Go Pussy” in English, to prove his central lifelong argument that he has a penis. Most everyone in Italy long ago grew bored of this insecure toad and wearily told him to go sod off, but notably, he got support for the joke from one camp:

Berlusconi’s latest use of the term embarrassed some supporters, but Alessandra Mussolini, the granddaughter of the Benito Mussolini and a Berlusconi MP called the quip “splendid”, adding “it means he considers us protagonists.”

In other news, the Mussolinis are still insane. Some things stay the same, etc. [Guardian]

He's just following in the Teabaggers footsteps.

Mumbletypeg October 7, 2011 at 1:40 pm

Thank God he isn't following Katarenza's lead.

Although I wonder if she 'inspired' him to make this quip…

Man, you whip out those puns fast, and don't beat around the bush.

Lionel[redacted]Esq October 7, 2011 at 2:16 pm

I think this must be deeply probed.

Barb October 7, 2011 at 2:19 pm

Since it's Friday, I think we should make a reference to" Nature’s Tufted Treasure" in every post that we make for the rest of the day. Maybe it will be like saying "Beetlejuice" thrice and will make Sara Benincasa appear.

SorosBot October 7, 2011 at 2:22 pm

Well every one of your comments already has a cute pussy sitting on it.

Barb October 7, 2011 at 2:28 pm

Oh God, you just made me choke on a fun sized Twix bar. Tears are streaming down my face. Hurt like hell but was so worth it, thanks!*

* that's what she said.

Rotundo_ October 7, 2011 at 6:07 pm

"Natures Tufted Treasure" is fantastic, it sounds like a title for a PBS documentary (Sir Richard Attenborough takes us on an extraordinary journey into a world familiar yet exotic…) Thanks for a great new hoo-hah euphemism.

What do Berlusconi and panty hose have in common?

They both irritate bush.

Berlusconi would probably quit the party once it turned 18.

On the contrary, he took The Prince literally. That was the problem.

Maybe someone should tell the Kochs…

I went to Olive Garden the other night and I'm pretty sure I had some Gnocca as an appetizer.

Chillwaver October 7, 2011 at 1:52 pm

You went to Olive Garden? It was probably Ratto alla Marinara then.

FNMA October 7, 2011 at 2:00 pm

I prefer eating Gnocca at home. It's much better and the waitpersons don't get all upset and start talking about calling the cops.

Rarian Rakista October 8, 2011 at 3:53 am

How else am I going to measure my fully erect penis to a breadstick?

That reminds me…I had a European history professor tell us there's no way Mussolini could've made the trains run on time because "Have you been to Italy?"

bureaucrap October 7, 2011 at 1:42 pm

I'm sure Garfield, Felix, Sylvester, Tom, Bill, and Snowballs I through III would have something to say about that. They would NOT want to be associated with such despicable (or, as Sylvester would say, "Des-thickable!") people.

Good old Italy it seems only yesterday that no party really wanted to win control and kidnap victims were the only reliable currency.

Here's a Wonkette-worthy article (in French, alas) about Berlusconi flying to Moscow to celebrate Vladimir Putin's birthday, and also about the "women ready to strip for Putin" who are also celebrating it:
http://bigbrowser.blog.lemonde.fr/2011/10/07/joie...

In other news, the Chinese, who came up with their own version of the Nobel Peace Prize after it was awarded to Liu Xiaobo last year, have this year nominated: Vladimir Putin.

Guppy06 October 7, 2011 at 1:54 pm

Here in the United States, the GOP has positioned itself as the party of "no pussy!"

Democrats, on the other hand, are just all-around pussies.

Beowoof October 7, 2011 at 7:34 pm

Funny thing is many male republicans aren't interested in pussy at all so it works for them.

If only the Italian & world media would adopt a "Berlusconi Minus Berlusconi" approach to covering this anal wart.

edgydrifter October 7, 2011 at 1:55 pm

Slightly OT, but Berlusconi's spawn is even creepier than old Silvio (how is it even possible?!?). Behold: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/oct/11/berlu...

Biel_ze_Bubba October 7, 2011 at 2:22 pm

Amusing bit from the article:

Before passing an immunity law in 2008 covering himself and three other government officials, Berlusconi was facing a charge of paying a £430,000 bribe to tax consultant David Mills to give evidence in his favour in Italian trials.

Yesterday Mills offered to act as a defence witness in any criminal trial Berlusconi may now face: "I will give evidence in his trial and I will explain why he had absolutely nothing to do with the payment concerned and that he is completely innocent of any corrupt activity at all."

Even Fellini would have to say, "You can't make this stuff up."

CapnFatback October 7, 2011 at 1:56 pm

Say what you will about Alessandra Mussolini; at least she can make the trim run on time.

SorosBot October 7, 2011 at 1:58 pm

To be more accurate, shouldn't that be the "Go Underage Prostitute Pussy Party"?

Callyson October 7, 2011 at 1:59 pm

Go pussy? Well, considering that Berlusconi has to pay for it, this seems to be an apt title for a party he's leading. Pussy is in fact going…going as far away from him as it can get…

Biel_ze_Bubba October 7, 2011 at 2:23 pm

I was about to ask, what's it going for these days?

I'm going with the "Fuck 'Em and Feed 'Em Beans" party. But only because the Lemon Party was too obvious, and the White Party was too gay.

Lionel[redacted]Esq October 7, 2011 at 2:50 pm

Good idea, but "beans" would just remind the Republican Base that he loves him some Mexicans.

Well, since Niggerhead is already taken by his ranch, it's definitely not going to be that. I think he'll decide by putting his named boots in a bag, and pick out two of them and see what the name is.

Mayhaps the Texas Justice Party?

The "Arkansas Humidor" Party. Means the same thing, really.

user-of-owls October 7, 2011 at 2:37 pm

Here in Arkansas, the term 'humidor' is used to describe the period from roughly May through early September. We just put our cigars on the porch rail during those broiling months. We don't need to stick 'em in a humidor.

Or anywhere else that's "humid" for that matter.

But, he's actually running a nation with a history as proud as the Italians. It's not as if he's the president of Moldova or some shit. If I happened to be an Italian the what? Decade or so he's been running that country, I'd be majorly pissed.

I thought it was gonna be the Bunga-Bunga Party.

I heard they were naming it after Sarah Palin. The Montagna Orificeo Party. Roughly translated: Hillbilly Cunt.

chicken_thief October 7, 2011 at 2:47 pm

Was he limited to x number of characters or something? Why didn't he suggest "Gimme some Young Pussy" or "We Love Pussy" or something like that. But "Go Pussy"?! Go where?

user-of-owls October 7, 2011 at 9:46 pm

But "Go Pussy"?! Go where?

That's a rhetorical question, right? I mean you do know where, right??

user-of-owls October 7, 2011 at 2:49 pm

When I saw the headline "Berlusconi Wants Party Name Change," my first thought was, "How can he top bunga bunga?" Seriously, that's what I thought.

I should have stopped there instead of reading the article.

Between the Go Pussy party, the bunga, bunga parties and the stripping Polish political candidate, I'd just like to say that I'm fully engaged in the political process.

In 1962, the year before Joseph Valachi spilled the secrets of the Mafia, a low-level thug named Vulvio Salami tried to beat a murder rap by singing all sorts of invented lore about the mob, including the name they used amongst themselves: "La Forza Gnocca." The Waspy FBI agents only learned they were being scammed when Vito Genovese broke down in uncontrollable laughter during a later interrogation.

MiniMencken October 7, 2011 at 3:17 pm

Well, I finally learned why I always get a woody eating gnocci.

Actually it's gnocchi, but you've got the upfist. In any case, in Italy you can always eat one or the other.

Well, the good news is that if Alessandra Mussolini gets hung upside down, Berlusconi won't have to peek up her skirt anymore.

Whenever Alessandra Mussolini sees an opportunity to remind people of her vagina, Alessandra Mussolini takes it.

Except the, oh, millions of people that keep voting for the right-wing party he heads up. Seriously, Italy has been fucked for years under this guy.

ttommyunger October 7, 2011 at 8:39 pm

Just when I get to thinking we have the most corrupt, twisted and idiotic politicians in the world, Berlusconi opens his piehole again. Thank you, Italy, I feel better now.

MiniMencken October 8, 2011 at 12:41 am

Vaguely apropos os this item, a jazz musician friend once told me the story of Chet Baker playing in Rome in the 1950s. The impressario teamed Baker with Mussolini's son, an aspiring concert pianist. Baker, trying to make small talk backstage, opened the conversation with Mussolini's son by saying, "Bummer about your old man."
Well, that's what I heard, anyway.

mrblifil October 8, 2011 at 9:57 pm

Shit, now I have to hold off on my proposed Third Party name: The Cooze Juice Express. Our slogan was to be: "Lettin' it rain all up in here."
