We are homo or generals - il Giornale


The first episode of Massimo Giletti’s The State of Things didn’t go very well. Like talk. But as a show… Priceless.

At the center, the confrontation between the activist and ex-girlfriend of Silvio Berlusconi, Francesca Pascale, and the General and politician, Roberto Vannacci. The former made the latter become likable – and even more of a gentleman than he is. And the second made it seem even less inconsistent and more cunning than the first appears. The highlight of the surrealities was when Pascale, who was first the partner of a man and then the wife of a woman, with a rare sense for clichés, told Vannacci that her obsession with homophobia reflected a repressed homosexuality ( which is like saying that those obsessed with fascism are repressed fascists). But then Vannacci, known for his balanced positions, urged Pascale to moderate her words.

All right. Pascale is a little girl who made it. And Vannacci is a Salvini who will be. With the arrogance of the unprepared, she passed him off as the father of the boy from American Beauty. He, with the severity of a man in command, sent her back from the aspiring leader of the Largo Camp to the Friarielli Camps.

Ah, curious. They all come from there. Noemi Letizia, Naples.

Carfagna, Salerno. Maria Rosaria Rossi, Caserta. Boccia, Pompeii. Pascale, Naples. None from Friuli. Strange. For the rest we already know how it will end with these miracle workers.

We will find him a minister again. And so is she.
