Berlusconi scorns wife's divorce call

Silvio Berlusconi has hit back at his wife's divorce demand, saying: "She should apologise to me."

The Italian prime minister, 72, said someone was "egging on" his wife, Veronica Lario, 52, during an election campaign and he should be the one to end their 19-year marriage.

Mr Berlusconi vented his anger in interviews with two of Italy's leading newspapers. "I am indignant," he said. "Veronica has fallen into a trap. Don't worry, the truth will emerge."

Ms Lario called for the divorce after Mr Berlusconi went to the birthday party of a business associate's 18-year-old daughter.

All men tend to be polgymists but as Slvio Berlosconi is powerful handsome and rich these twerps are jealous of his position and want to nail him as they did to Clinton.

For me he is a healthy intelligent man and if he has his fun its his affair.Those that criticise him is they would do the same but cant afford to so they lament -
