This Was One Generous John (Allegedly): Italian Prime Minister Reportedly Lavished 17-Year-Old Hooker With $300,000 in "Gifts"!

As recently detailed in this space, 74-year-old PM Silvio Berlusconi has been indicted in Italy for allegedly paying for sex with the pictured 17-year-old prostitute and belly dancer "Ruby the Heart Stealer" (a.k.a. Ruby Rubacuori and Karima el-Mahroug). The latest in the story this week reveals the alleged "Teflon john" allegedly paying for his sex with Ruby in more than just cash – a lot more.

All in all, the 24 "gifts" allegedly totaled around $300,000 in value and had one thing in common among them: High-end. The various gifts reportedly came in connection with at least 15 meetings between Berlusconi and Ruby (following the exchange of some 67 telephone calls and text messages between them) (links to full story at bottom):

The Dress

Berlusconi allegedly gave Ruby "a red and black Valentino dress encrusted with pearls as a special gift on Valentine's Day 2010 to mark 'our first meeting.'" That first meeting, BTW, allegedly involved an invitation to dinner at one of the PM's mansions, followed by him inviting Ruby and 30 other women into an underground "bunga bunga room" (described as a harem sex room) for an after-dinner snack (i.e., him!).

The Watches

Berlusconi allegedly gave Ruby two Rolex watches, but apparently they didn't much strike her fancy to any great degree, and the PM had to up his game. Berlusconi reportedly gave Ruby a "Dolce & Gabbana Swarovski crystal designer watch." Cops say Ruby told them that the PM got her that third watch "because I told him that I didn’t like the Rolex watches."

The Jewelry

The lavish jewelry given by the PM to Ruby allegedly included:

-A "diamond necklace made by Recarlo, a Valenza-based design jeweler."

-A "Swarowsky-Tiffany diamond bracelet . . . engraved with the initials of her nickname, R.R. for Ruby Rubacuori (Ruby the heartstealer)."

-An "array of diamond bracelets, pendants, rings and earrings – many featuring diamonds and violet-colored amethyst, her 'favorite color,' from top brands including Bulgara and Tiffany."

-An "expensive 'brooch' which was bought on Via Montenapoleone, Milan's premier shopping street."

The Shoes and Fur

I assume you couldn't have a set of gifts from a billionaire like Berlusconi without some fur, right? And sure enough, one the 24 gifts he allegedly tossed Ruby's way was a Helen Yarmak red fox fur stole. For good measure, Berlusconi reportedly threw some Versace designer shoes into the mix.

The Car

Finally, Berlusconi allegedly promised Ruby a brand new Audi R8. But alas, he reportedly welched on the wheels and Ruby never so much as made it into the driver’s seat.

At the end of the day, I'm wondering if that little slight (allegedly) is what led Ruby to final blow the whistle on the "Teflon john" and rat him out? Either that, or maybe she didn't much appreciate having to share the PM with 30 other ladies at the "bunga bunga" party (allegedly)?

Proof Positive That Microwave Food & Valentine's Day Do Not Mix: Hot Pocket Beatdown Allegedly Results in Kidnapping of 3-Year-Old Girl in New York.

It was Valentine's Day, and 29-year-old Steven Fleming "came home hungry after a hard day's work at a construction site." He apparently wasn't expecting any big Valentine's Day dinner from his 16-year-old girlfriend (more on that later), Aliyah Austin (pictured on right). But he at least was "ready to sink his teeth into a Hot Pocket." And that's when all hell broke loose! (Link to full story at bottom).

Fleming took a gander in the freezer and fumed as he realized that someone had polished off his last Hot Pocket! Fleming then woke up his girlfriend Aliyah and "confronted her about scarfing down his snack." Apparently not satisfied with the answer he received, Fleming allegedly clocked her one right in the kisser.

End of story, right? Wrong. "In a cold dish of revenge," Aliyah the next morning allegedly kidnapped Fleming's 3-year-old daughter after Aliyah's old man (much older man) had gone back to work at the construction site. Cops say Aliyah snatched the toddler and absconded from Staten Island to Manhattan on a ferry.

Fleming for some reason didn't return home that day until midnight (apparently a Hard Day's Night to celebrate a hard day's work). After finding no daughter or girlfriend present at the home, he called the cops and the search was on. (It's not clear whether he first went for a Hot Pocket before discovering that the two girls were gone).

Not being the brightest bulb on the marquee, Aliyah soon after the kidnapping reportedly took to taunting Fleming on Facebook and in text messages about the fact that she had his daughter. (No word whether she stuck out her tongue as she fired off those blasts).

Cops were able to track down Aliyah and the little tike through Aliyah's cellphone signal, and the kid was unharmed. It looks like Aliyah may have to finish off her Hot Pockets in the hoosegow for a long time to come, as she faces kidnapping charges and is being held for bail of 25 grand.

According to her attorney, Aliyah's defense is that "she took the baby because Fleming was late coming home." So let me get this straight: Aliyah kidnapped the kid not because of the slap in the mush, but instead kidnapped the kid because her boyfriend stayed out late?

I've got to try out that defense the next time I get pulled over for speeding: "Yeah, copper, I wasn't speeding because I wanted to exceed the speed limit; I was actually speeding because I wanted to get home faster!" Or for an accused murderer: "I didn't kill him because he hit me; I killed him because he made me angry for other reasons entirely!"

Regardless, Aliyah's arrest was finally the end to this story, correct? Of course not. We're still left with the little matter of the adult Fleming having a 16-year-old "girlfriend." Cops say the couple had met earlier in the week on the subway and "she began crashing at his house."

Aliyah denied to cops that she had a sexual relationship with Fleming, "although investigators believe the two are romantically involved." Translation: Those two may be holding their next Hot Pocket bout together in the pokey.

No One Knows "Civility" Quite Like the 20 Percenter American Left That Inhabits the Democrat Party...

...That's why when it comes to "civility," those on the American left are the ones who get to lecture the other 80% of the country on the topic. Hypocrites. As usual. (And no, it’s not as if the republicans are much, if any, different).

Footnotes:

1. The photos above are obviously from the Wisconsin public union protests this week and weekend and refer variously to Wisconsin governor and republican Scott Walker.

2. For those of you in Generations Y and Z, and as it pertains to the "Dread Scott's Decision" picture above, the pre-Civil War Dred Scott decision of the United States Supreme Court ruled, among other things, that slaves were property and not citizens. Translation: The republican Wisconsin Governor -- in addition to being a Nazi, a dictator, Adolph Hitler, Hosni Mubarak, a rapist, an uneducated idiot, a dick, a crosshairs target, a terrorist, and (they apparently hope) a dead tyrant -- is also a racist who believes public union members are not citizens. Put it all together: The textbook definition of "civility."

"He Don't Have Any Clothes On!" Sausage in Hand, Nude Hobo Caught on Tape & Nabbed for Burglary at a Florida Old Folks Home…

The 34-year-old tramp (pictured on left) would "hang around in the woods" behind the Mariner's Cove old folks home near Fort Myers. And being a hobo, Joshua Abernathy had just the sort of needs you might expect: An occasional shower; some grub to eat; some napkins to wrap up the eats; and some first aid supplies in case a varmint bit him out in those woods.

And what better place to fill that little shopping list than the neighboring old folks home? But apparently this bum didn't considering clothing to be a big enough "bare" necessity to include on his list! (Links to the full story at bottom).

Cops say Abernathy recently entered the home's clubhouse "in the dead of the night" through an unlocked sliding glass door. He reportedly came in wearing nothing but shorts, and he quickly ditched his britches and hit the building's "slop room" for a quick shower.

Then the vagrant allegedly streaked through the clubhouse, buck naked, looking to get his grub on! He came upon the building's refrigerator, and Bingo! Breakfast sausage! And before making his "cheeky getaway" with said sausage, cops say this "brazen burglar" also snagged some napkins and a first-aid kit for good measure.

But unfortunately for this "naked sausage stealer," he "flashed more than just a smile" to the joint's security camera, which caught Abernathy on tape "prancing around in his birthday suit" as he pulled off the "sausage heist" (allegedly). "He walked around in here like it was his own living room," said one resident afterward.

When the hungry old folks discovered the sausage swipe the next morning, they immediately went to the video and "discovered the naked truth." Exclaimed one resident: "He don't have any clothes on!"

But reportedly, "residents at the retirement community turned the other cheek": According to one, "when you get to 55-plus you don't get a whole of excitement, so this is great!"

Now Abernathy is probably going to have to do his naked sausage prancing inside of a cell at the local freezer: "Abernathy was arrested and will appear in court – fully clothed – charged with two counts of burglary and one of petty theft."

And this wasn't the hobo's first incident inside of an old folks home. He was charged with burglary and grand theft at another home last year. That time, cops say, he boosted some beer and a bicycle. Maybe he used that to ride to his new digs in the forest? Regardless, "it's unknown whether he was nude for that earlier break-in as well."

Finally, the Mariner's Cove is looking into preventative measures to stop anything like this from ever occurring again. Said one resident, "We don't have a rule against streaking in the clubhouse, and we might have to add that."

CBS Reporter Brutally Raped by Egyptian Thugs on the Streets of Cairo, and Left-Leaning CBS News Ignores the Story For Days to Help the Obama Agenda?

CBS News and the leftist 20-percenters can deny it until the cows come home, but don't pi$$ on my back and tell me it's raining. (Link to full story at bottom).

In the build up to and aftermath of Hosni Mubarak's abdication of his dictatorship in Egypt, all we heard from the left-leaning "mainstream" media was (1) how the protests in Egypt were some great and wonderful democratic movement and (2) how Obama should be praised for his incredible "handling" of the situation and his support for the protesters.

And when CBS reporter Lara Logan was brutally and repeatedly raped by a gang of Egyptian slimes on the streets of Cairo in the "celebration" following Mubarak's ouster, such an occurrence didn't fit too well with the ol' agenda, apparently. Because what did CBS do with this highly newsworthy story? Ignore it, of course! What else?! Just like propaganda outfit Al Jazeera ignored it (nice company there, CBS). Just hope it goes away, right?

As the linked Boston Herald column by Michael Graham states: "They sat on their own story. For five days, as reporters reveled amid giddy celebrations in Tahrir Square, and as President Obama praised President Obama's handling of the Egyptian crisis, CBS reported nothing. Only when other media had the story did CBS break the news that its own foreign correspondent was the victim of 'a brutal and sustained sexual assault.' "

What's more, the additional fact that these Egyptian sleazebuckets were yelling "Jew! Jew!" while they attacked Logan has been suppressed altogether by CBS News, appearing only in a story in one of my favorite publications, the New York Post. And only the Wall Street Journal reported that "the separation and assault lasted roughly 20 to 30 minutes."

Asks Michael Graham: "How is that not news?" Indeed. Of course it's very much news, but it just didn't jive with the "mainstream" media's near-euphoria over the Egyptian situation and Obama's "handling" of it. And it really didn't jive with the Obama's administration's agenda of downplaying or ignoring anything that might portray an Islamic person in a bad or radical light.

So it would seem that CBS simply ignored the story for as long as it could, and then only acknowledged the bare minimum in terms of the facts surrounding the story. I'm sure it also didn't hurt that the American far left already disdains Logan over her past statements defending Gen. Stanley McChrystal in the wake of the Rolling Stone story regarding him.

I would proclaim that CBS News should be ashamed of itself for trying to ignore this story, but what would be new in that? Helping out the leftist agenda is the staple of such "mainstream" media outlets as CBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CNN, New York Times, etc., etc. (and yes, it's just like propping up the right-wing agenda is the purview of such outlets as Fox News).

Put another way, just another instance demonstrating that these news outlets are so incessantly and completely biased to one political side or the other is pretty old news to me. So much so, that I questioned even using this as a blog post topic today. Railing against media bias is so old.

But I guess the awful thought of what Logan went through at the hands of those peaceful and wonderfully democratic Egyptian protesters -- who were only encouraged to take to the streets by Obama rhetoric -- was just a little too much for me to ignore. But not for CBS News.

Anarchy in the USA. Count Me Out.

I don't care what you think about the Wisconsin bill (link to full story at bottom). Don't care if you think it's an overbearing and unwarranted intrusion upon the rights of Wisconsin public employees. Don't care if you support the bill as a necessary move aimed at improving the state's terrible fiscal situation. Your opinion on the bill is irrelevant to me because that's not the real issue today.

In this country, when we disagree with a piece of proposed legislation, we don't flock into and shut down statehouses. And our elected representatives don't flee the state in order to avoid any vote occurring on that legisation. Yet, those acts are precisely what's occurred today in Wisconsin when it comes to democrat party lawmakers and protesters of the legislation (many of whom I have little doubt have been trucked in from out of state by democrat party interests).

It's the sort of thing they might do in Europe. Or the Middle East. But not here. In America, elected lawmakers vote on controversial legislation all the time. If you oppose the legislation, then protest outside the statehouse or Congress to your little heart's content. Write letters. Call your elected representative.

And if unpopular legislation passes into law despite protests and objections, then those whose rights are allegedly violated by the law can challenge it in a court of law on constitutional grounds. Others opponents can push lawmakers in the future to repeal or change the law.

It's called the way we do things in a civilized society. It's the American way. But if you want to live like a wild animal, and if you want to live in anarchy, then head up to Wisconsin, apparently.

Today's events would be akin to the tea partiers rolling into the chambers of the U.S. House and Senate in order to prevent a vote on Obama & The Dems' unpopular and highly controversial health care law [Wasserman Schultz Edit: "ObamaCare"]. Today would also be akin to all of the republican lawmakers in DC fleeing the country so that no quorum could be present allowing the health care bill [ObamaCare] to be voted upon.

I was a hugely vocal opponent of the health care monstrosity [ObamaCare], but if right-winger tea partiers and GOP lawmakers had pulled the same shenanigans that the democrat party and their protesters are pulling today in Wisconsin, I would have denounced them just as harshly as I denounce today's participants. Such participants should not be heroes of anyone. Not in America.

A Firm Grasp of the Obvious: Sick Slimeball Allegedly Murders Four During Slashing Rampage in New York, Then Says "Sometimes, My Mind Isn't Right."

The "slash beast" is named Maksim Gelman (first picture at the top), and cops say the 23-year-old went on a 28-hour street and subway slashing and stabbing spree in recent days that left four people dead and five wounded in the Big Apple.

Now "the deranged Brooklyn man" has opened up to the media, and it's hard to believe some of the things that poured out of his mouth as he reportedly ranted and "raved" at reporters (link to full story at bottom).

During a jailhouse interview dubbed "the psycho babbles on and on" -- and marked by "fragmented, disjointed sentences" and a healthy dose of "paranoia" -- the scuzbucket Gelman first took a rather dim view of himself, "declaring that he has mental issues" and observing that "sometimes, my mind isn't right." NO! What is he, a shrink? How could he ever possibly come to that particular conclusion?!

Next up, the sleazewad starts blaming his rampage on a big government "conspiracy" faster than you can say loony left-winger or deranged right-winger. "The DEA set me up," spouted the demented scumjob. "They were there the whole time. They let this happen, they're going to kill me! It's a conspiracy!"

He apparently also thought that the reporters interviewing him might be in on the big conspiracy. Said scuzjam: "How do I know you're who say you are? If you are who you say you are, you have to look into this."

And of course, this slippery sleazejacket had to play the victim card, claiming that he's just a patsy in a big "set-up" and a "sacrificial lamb." A regular Lee Harvey Oswald!

On the victim front, he's also charging police brutality: "I'm in a lot of pain. I've been hurting. I've been beaten. They choked me. They tied me at the precinct. I was in the dark. They didn't let me see a lawyer." So he's in "a lot of pain," uh? Really "hurting"? My heart bleeds. It really does.

When asked what he thinks about his alleged grisly crimes, this creep resorted to jailhouse clichés: "The proof is in the pudding. I'm trying to make my peace with God!"

Then this madman really started to work himself up into a twisted frenzy: The Post reports that "after one outburst, the wild-eyed, drug-addled psycho demanded that guards take him away, prompting a female guard to warn, 'You got to be careful, you don’t want to get him agitated, he might hit you.' "

BTW, a boyfriend of one of the victims questioned the whole "set-up" charge: "It's obviously not a set-up. He did this of his own free will." Oh, C'mon victim's boyfriend! Can't you do any better than that? Let's at least work Sarah Palin or some radio talking heads into the mix!

Making Charlie Sheen Look Like the Pope: Italian Prime Minister Indicted For Allegedly Paying a 17-Year-Old Hooker For Sex, Then Covering It Up!

At least the young porn stars that Charlie Sheen likes to bang are over 18 and only half his age. Contrast that with 74-year-old Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who stands accused of having sex with 17-year-old hooker Ruby Rubacuori (pictured variously above) – a dame one-fourth his age! (Link to full story at bottom).

Over the past day, an Italian judge handed down an indictment under which Berlusconi is charged on prostitution and abuse of power charges. Under the Italian legal system, accused criminals are typically bound over for trial following a preliminary hearing, and the quicker indictment procedure is only used in cases of "overwhelming evidence."

Translation: Berlusconi is up the Rubicon River without a paddle. Not only that -- he's actually facing some serious time in the hoosegow: Four to twelve years on the abuse of power charge and six months to three years on the prostitution charge.

The more serious abuse of power charge alleges that the PM (at some point after allegedly having sex with the Moroccan-born Ruby) used his influence to get her out of the can after she was arrested in an unrelated incident for allegedly heisting over $4,000 from someone.

Prosecutors say Berlusconi made the call to the cops because he was afraid that Ruby would spill the beans about gettin' busy with the PM. Berlusconi admits making the phone call, but he (rather outlandishly) claims he only made it because he thought Ruby was the daughter of former Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak.

Therefore, Berlusconi actually claims, the call was necessary to avoid an "international incident"! R-i-g-h-t! Tell it to the judge and jury, pal. For good measure, the accused john dismisses the charges against him as "groundless" and just a huge "farce."

If the charges are true, then Berlusconi is one hell of a perv – especially given the fact that banging a hooker is perfectly legal under Italian law just so long as the prostitute is at least 18 years old!

So the old man could have easily gotten his Sheen on with an 18 or 19-year-old, but NO! He had to have someone under 18! Slimeball (allegedly).

Well, the ladies of Italy are none too happy with this alleged scuzbucket. Recently "tens of thousands of women have staged rallies across Italy to denounce Berlusconi's conduct with young women, which they say degrades female dignity."

Contrast that with the United States, where virtually every democrat party partisan (women and men alike, including my own family members) to this day defends Bill Clinton's infamous hummer at the "hands" of the very young Monica Lewinsky (not to mention his subsequent blatant lying about it) as being no big deal. [BTW, I could have gotten past it too if he hadn't had the gall to look the American people in the eye and outright lie about the affair].

Final factoids: Berlusconi is also a billionaire and media tycoon who has previously faced a number of criminal charges connected to his business, but he's always beaten the rap. Sort of Italy's version of deceased New York City mob boss "Teflon Don" John Gotti.

But now Berlusconi not only faces the charges connected to Ruby, but also three separate (and unrelated) criminal proceedings on charges of bribery and tax fraud. And as we ultimately learned with Gotti, every Teflon Don – or Teflon john, as the case may be – eventually has his day. Methinks the sun's rising on Berlusconi's.

Did 45-Year-Old Charlie Sheen Knock Up His 22-Year-Old Porn Pal Princess, Kacey Jordan???

Kacey says that Charlie's not the daddy, but how weird is it that the porn star Jordan is now "preggers" immediately following Sheen's now-notorious 36-hour "sex, drugs and booze" bender in which Jordan admits to having sex with Sheen? (Link to full story at bottom).

So it's just a big coincidence that she happened to have sex with Sheen last month? OK, I guess, if you say so. But methinks something may be rotten in Denmark.

The only thing uglier about this story than the completely unplanned pregnancy of this very young lady is the fact that Jordan is receiving death threats from anti-abortion radicals "since hinting that she might abort the pregnancy."

"I'm getting a lot of anti-abortion people who are saying they want to kill me," said Jordan. "I’m getting threats, people calling me a murderer."

How nice. People who (whether rightly or wrongly) think abortion is murder turning around and threatening to murder someone who may have an abortion. Twisted, sick, fanatical stuff.

Jordan also says that "people are saying, 'her and Charlie would create the worst child ever.' " Well, let's see:

The seed of (1) a drug-addicted, has-been big screen actor obsessed with banging porn babes less than half his age and (2) a dame who broke into the porn world just as quickly as she legally could upon turning 18. The worst set of parents ever – THAT I could agree with.

Jordan's quotes also seem to indicate that the same people threatening to murder her if she has an abortion are also the ones hanging "the worst child ever" label. Now that really makes a lot of sense! But if you're looking for logic and reason in 2011 America and Planet Earth, you better look elsewhere.
