Berlo calls show 'brothel' , TV host retorts with 'lout'
ROME: A furious Silvio Berlusconi has called into a TV show discussing his alleged prostitution scandal, traded insults with the host and said the program was like a "brothel."
A heated exchange began on air as Berlusconi, 74, condemned the program as "disgusting ," based on lies and led by a "contemptible, vile and loathsome" host. As the PM continued his diatribe,the host called him a lout and advised him to hand himself over to the magistrates rather than vent his anger on television.
His supporters said the premier had a right to defend himself from accusations made during the show. Critics said the call was a show of aggression from an increasingly desperate man. Berlusconi is not new to calling live TV shows to complain. But his comments on Monday were harsher than usual.
Berlusconi also urged a political ally in the studio to leave this "incredible TV brothel." AGENCIES
