...Italy’s GDP had overtaken Britain’s.Since then, however, it has all been downhill. Italian financial scandals, such as the implosion of the dairy colossus Parmalat have made Enron and WorldCom look like sound companies. Whilst American CEOs appear with aplomb in front of a myriad of courts, dubious Italian executives choose instead to run for office thanks to Berlusconi’s help. Not only did the Prime Minister push a law forcing voters to cast ballots for parties instead of individuals, thus omitting the names of convicted candidates, but, moreover, an eclectic sample...

In actuality, there can be little doubt that the whole event was consciously choreographed to appease the myriad local, national, and even international television crews filming the landing at Hanscom Air Force Base. It’s truly a shame that government officials are hard at work spending our tax dollars to transform reality into Hollywood blockbusters and, in the process, pampering alleged criminals like Neil Entwistle.
