Rome. A catholic right-wing politician, 2 prostitutes, cocaine and drinks.

And a little scandal. Little, as usually in Italy.

Private life is private life for anyone.
For politicians too.

But when a politician, member of a Christian catholic conservative party (UDC),

1. that organizes rallies against the rights for unmarried couples and to defend the catholic model of family,
2. that answers YESSIR every time Ratzinger move his lips,
3. that criticizes and defend imprisonment for those who use light drugs,
4. or attack those who want more liberal measures for cannabis -

well, when such a politician gets involved in a story with

1. a hotel room in Via Veneto in Rome,
2. drinks, drugs and the company of two prostitutes - one of whom ended up her night in hospital -

one must ask for explanations.

Yes, because the man voted and will vote on laws about the family, the rights to gays, the matter on light drugs.
Because the man - or his leader - goes around echoing Ratzinger's words on the family, the way it is and must be, and basing on the Pope's statements the man will contribute to laws that make the life of many of us a lot harder than necessary.

Thanks to journalists who discovered it. Thanks to the girl. He was forced to admit.
He declines responsibilities on the cocaine - he says he didn't bring it there.

But the fact remains: the family's crusader - father of 3 and twice married - was in joyful company of two girls in a hotel room.
He lost the right to decide what kind of family I want to make, and the legal rights thereof.
And lost the right to decide what kind of punishment or lack of rights others should face for their choices.
He lost the rights to be in Parliament, in my opinion. As he was elected to defend values he doesn't seem to care about.

How will he vote, when it comes to laws affecting the families?
Come on, Ratzinger. A word on catholic conservative politicians. And on morality.
