"[In a world where:] There is the graceful Vendola with his silver tongue and earring, who plays the communist and wants to take the place of Bersani, who does everything without doing anything; there is Veltroni, the American of Piazza Fiume, bard of Kennedy and bard of Che Guevara, who hated each other. There is the super “Baffino” D'Alema, who takes himself so seriously and whom no one takes seriously anymore. There is Rutelli, who no longer knows which jacket to wear, having already worn them all. Yesterday for divorce or abortion, today for the Pope and the Council of Trent."
