Whinefest alert!
Last Sunday in the Observer, one Cristina Odone substantially increased the level of global whining with a slam on the Italians. Her biggest complaint seems to be that they watch TV and that's why they elected Silvio Berlusconi. A more detailed dissection is available at Cose Turche, but just so you know how far Odone is into the ozone, check out the next piece in the article:
Meeting Bill Clinton when you're eight and a half months pregnant makes you feel like the little boy who is handed a delicious-looking ice cream cone - only to find out it's made of plastic: you can't do a thing. Blocked by your huge stomach, every notion of flirting is frustrated - and you have to make do with watching everyone else at it.
Hey Cristina, I'm sure Bubba won't mind!
