becomes even difficult to comment on a story like that, diciamo imbarazzante...abbiamo un Presidente del Consiglio, la piu' alta carica istituzionale dello Stato Italiano, che viene 'indirettamente" condannato in un processo di corruzione e non solo non ha il pudore di dimettersi come farebbe qualsiasi altro politico in carica in qualsiasi altra paese nel mondo, ma non puo' neanche essere processato e condannato grazie al "Lodo Alfano" che prontamente ha emanato appena seduto in Parlamento questa estate...che dire..."vergogna" e' l'unica parola sensata a commento di questa notizia...parola alla quale il nostro Presidente del Consiglio e' sempre stato immune...
