Italy: Berlusconi gets smacked in the kisser. Or something.

Berlusconi kisser Man, he really got wacked.

From the Guardian:

Silvio Berlusconi has been punched in the face at a rally in Milan tonight, according to Italian news reports.

The Italian prime minister was whisked away in a car after falling to the ground during the attack. State television showed Berlusconi with blood on his lips as he was lifted to his feet by aides.

Police initially said a young man had punched Berlusconi in the face outside the Piazza del Duomo, but later said the man might have hurled an object at the premier from close range. A man was arrested at the scene, according to the Ansa news agency.

A spokesman for Berlusconi said he did not immediately have any information about the incident, which happened after the premier delivered a speech to his conservative supporters this evening.

"What they've done to Berlusconi is an act of terrorism," Umberto Bossi, head of the far-right Northern League and a close Berlusconi ally, told Ansa.

Not for nothing, it looks like Berlusconi tried to go after the guy - once he was able to get up that is.

Calling Lega Nord "Far Right" is calling McCain "Far Right".
The attack is the fruit of a campaign of hate from leftists, DeBenedetti group newspapers (our Soros), the fascist DiPietro (a real fascist allied with the left) and the leftist magistrates that try to find Berlusconi guilt of something, anything, to get rid of him.
It is from the 1993 they are doing this (the magistrates) without success. They drawn down the processes so many times the crime he was accused went proscribed.

Judging by the photos of Berlusconi after this incident, it looks like he was hit pretty hard by whatever struck his face, wow
