Berlusconi, time to rush

He did it again. Made himself ridiculous once again. If you cannot read Italian, in the linked Reuters article Berlusconi maintains that it is urgent to promulgate a decree to save Eluana Englaro. Obviously, that was a couple of days ago, since the poor woman has died in the meantime. But, WHY was this urgent? She has been in a coma 17 years, her medical condition looked quite bad from the onset, hopes of recovery close to zero if not a round O. Mmm, but the premier has a good reason for it: this is a woman who could generate a child.

Well for one I doubt Eluana was menstruating recently, since as far as I can tell in stressful conditions women stop doing so; it's just their body keeping energy and resources for survival instead of procreation. But that's beside the point. Basically he said: the government should rush, otherwise this miracle cannot take place. It's a miracle called rape, you dumb little excuse for a man...
