Martyrs in the news

Patrizia D’Addario, Berlusconi’s call girl: “I’m the only one who is telling the truth and by doing so I’ve become a Joan of Arc.” Yes, you’re exactly like her. As evidence of her saintliness, Ms D’Addario (who is writing her memoirs) notes that she could have blackmailed Berlusconi, but didn’t. Again, just like Joan of Arc.

What I like is that Berlusconi is perfectly matched in grandiosity and self-importance by his prostitute.
