Now he has appointed the very beautiful, conservative and talented Mara Carfagna (32) as his minister for equality. But not only that – at a dinner party he also said that if he had been single, he would have like to marry her. That’s a slightly unusual way for a prime minister to speak of his ministers, I would say. And, clearly also a statement his wife was not to pleased with, and made quite a lot of noise about.

Beautiful Mara Carfagna has a future, like most people. She has been a TV-hostess and a top-less model. And now she is, I would think, the most beautiful minister in any government in OECD. That really has to count for something in Italy?!?

And there is no rule anywhere stating that ministers of equality must be ugly, is there?

Mara Carfagna……Italy’s next Minister for something or other.

As the picture shows, she is quite a looker. But she has had several unfortunate tantrums over the years, some of which have brought her into contact with the legal system. The last one, on Heathrow, is said to involve some spitting. On a police officer. Previously there’s been throwing of a cell phone, some beating, some pretty verbal stuff, and such.

The last episode I can sympathize with. Many of us, and I count myself as one, have been angry, outraged, and harassed at airports around the world. By arrogant, not so service minded airport or airline employees and security guards. At least a dozen times I have been at my wits end and so angry I have wanted to hit somebody or something. But doing it is different, though.

The part I do not understand about this, is when she later has claimed that she was arrested because she is black. That part I do not believe. Spitting on a policeman would get anybody arrested, is my thinking. But I may be wrong.

Naomi Campbell has previously been taking anger management classes. They didn’t to all that much good, it would seem. Maybe it’s back to school for Naomi now?
