SocraticGadfly: Il procurer Berlusconi

Il procurer Berlusconi

Silvio Berlusconi is looking more and more like the Hugh Hefner Bob Guccione of Italy. The lede graf from the Times of London tells all:
He has made no secret of his love of women but the sex scandal surrounding Silvio Berlusconi is now threatening to topple him, as more claims emerge of the systematic recruitment of young women paid to attend private parties at his homes in Rome and Sardinia.

“Recruitment,” eh? I’d call it being a procurer. Or a pimp.

Don’t stop with the lede, though. Read the whole thing in juicy detail. Does the phrase “hostess service,” as in a “hostess service” being the source of some of these women, whet your salacious appetite?
