I checked and he isn't on drol's Immortalsl list. However if he was, he'd still be at 86 quite a "youngster" there considering only a handful of them are under 87 (excluding the doge, there's Fujimori, Comical Ali, Yu Miu-Lin, Joseph Estrada, Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, Nritya Gopal Das and Superstar Billy)

was sure he was on ! if he hangs on till 2024 (which I doubt) he clearly deserves a spot

I know he's objectively highly questionable (business practices, political corruption, messy personal life, etc. etc.), but I can't help but like Silvio and be sad at the prospect of him going. He's an in-joke/mascot/talking point with a couple of my uni friends, to the extent that our pub quiz team is named Berlusconi Macaroni.

 

It's the absurd and surreal aspects of the man we love, making dental hygienists political candidates, hugging lambs, the weird hair, on top of the charisma, the sheer chutzpah, the reinventions, the great survivor aspect. A life worthy of an opera, or at least a soap opera. How can you not have a certain awe for a man with a dedicated Wikipedia page for his trials and allegations?

 

In short, a magnificent bastard.

 

Yeah, a mixed bag really. A slimy reptile for sure but also one who bank-rolled arguably the greatest European club side of all time.

His family and party insist he is not in danger and will have a normal life when the lung infection is gone.

 

I still think he's toast.

That's bad news for him, don't think he's ever led a normal life before..

His best mate Fedele Confalonieri says he "is much better", while clearly crying out of the hospital.

"Much better" and "doctors are astonished by his quick recovery (sic!)" according to Silvio's own TV Mediaset.

 

Indian style.

Silvio insists to be discharged. According to his 88-year old pal Gianni Letta he is "on the road to rebirth or resurrection".

Believe it when I see it

 

He's absolutely the type who's people will insist he's fine until he dies and even then I wouldn't rule out a Weekend At Bernies scenario from them

He's already got that post-death look of Lenin.

He is currently trying to convince Satan that the high temperatures in hell are in no way linked to the pits of fire spewing lava
