Superman? Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has defended himself against critics, saying allegations about 'associations with minors' are false

His long suffering wife Veronica Lario, 53, announced she was divorcing him because he was 'ill' and of his 'association with minors'.

It later emerged escort girls had attended parties at his homes and one had even been paid to spend the night.

However Berlusconi hit back and said: 'I have never frequented minors, above all Miss Letizia,

'I have never paid meretrix (prostitutes) and the last thing I have never participated and organised lively parties.

'At all times I have around 15 security guards around me, ten waiting staff, musicians - at the most I might tell a little spicy story.

'Only someone who is ill in the head would invent something else and imagine something else took place.'

The cruise ship crooner turned politician also attacked La Repubblica newspaper for its five month attack on him and also lashed out at a series of ten questions it has published since June questioning his ability to govern.

Berlusconi said:' If another paper had asked me those questions, another paper that is not a political party, then I would have replied.

'I haven't answered those questions because I can't or because it is difficult for me but because they come from such a newspaper.

'I am not answering questions that are insolent, offensive and defamatory.

'You just have to look and see what I have done over these last 15 months while Prime Minister to see that I am not ill but Superman.'

Bizarro Superman, perhaps.

God I love this guy.

Sil embodies everything that is good about Italy.

He is a living caricature, isn't he?  It would be like if we had elected JR Ewing to be President of the United States.

Anyway, the best Berlusconi story ever is the time he was supposed to be meeting up with Angela Merkel but he decided to hide behind some big pillar in the building they were meeting, and then when she got there he jumped out behind her and said "coo coo!"  She was like "Oh, Silvio!" 

[Josquius]

Sil embodies everything that is good about Italy.

And yet everything that is bad at the same time...What a paradox.

Tim; forget teaching abroad.  You should apply to be Berlusconi's sidekick.

[Tonitrus]

At least he's not the fucking Batman.

[garbon]

I hate lively parties!

[Martinus]

God I love this guy.

Yeah, between him and Qaddafi you could have a comedy series.

[Eddie Teach]

So Marty, does this mean Berlusconi is gay?

Tim; forget teaching abroad.  You should apply to be Berlusconi's sidekick.

Competition is way too tough for that position. And he already has Apicella anyway.

[The Larch]

At least he's not the fucking Batman.

Funnily enough, his lifestyle is more Batman-ish that Superman-ish. Both Batman and Berlusconi are ultra rich tycoons which double as something else, Batman as a crimefighter and Berlusconi as Italy's PM, using their riches as a prop.
