Don't Count Bunga Out Just Yet - Berlusconi Now Has Senate Lead Over Bersani
As noted initially, Italian exit polls are notoriously inaccurate. Sure enough, here is some data which directly contradicts initial pro-statist results:
- BERLUSCONI LEADS IN KEY SENATE RACES, IPR PROJECTION SAYS
- BERLUSCONI LEADS IN SENATE RACE 31% TO 29.5%: RAI PROJECTION
- BERLUSCONI COALITION LEADING SENATE IN SICILY: LA7 PROJECTS
The market may have to ask some questions, after having shot repeatedly already. And it gets better:
- Grillo Five-Star movement would be largest single party in Senate based on Rai projection
A renegade, counter-establishment comic to head it all. What can one say but... Italy.
And EURUSD continues to weaken and Italian bonds have given up their post-poll gains...

By this point in the European crisis, one should realize that actual votes don't matter.
Yes but at least Berlusconi is entertaining. It's like Jersey Shore written on an entire country.
Dear Italy (Lombardia, because the rest of you don't count anymore), DO NOT VOTE FOR BUNGA BUNGA.
Signed, EUR, FTSE, S&P longs.
"Italian exit polls are notoriously inaccurate"
In a way -- but I have to suspect that Italian exit polls are accurate, but the Italian vote-counting process is ... well ... c'mon -- it's the Italians counting votes! This can only end poorly.
If anyone can rig an election, it's Bunga Bunga.
It's not the votes that count but who counts the votes.
Dear Italy,
VOTE FOR BUNGA!
Signed,
Gold.
Belgians too for Bunga Bunga
Berlusconi
Beautiful women
Break-up of the euro
Bring it on sweet bitchez !
Italy I always had faith in you ... have been suggesting it for months here on ZeroHedge ... the Italians can see a financial scam in process better than anyone in Europe ... the euro 'a scam' as Berlusconi has said out loud
When there was an 1800s currency union, the Latin Monetary Union, the Italians broke it up first ...
And now, getting ready to do it again
Bunga bunga bunga !
REJOICE!! The banksters and the eurocrats could still be kicked in the balls!!
puullleeeze
You can have my answer now senator...
My final offer is this: nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.
Welcome to the insane asylum.
All roads lead to the same destination.
Good thing I piled even more into EUR at 1.33. :)
BUNGA-BUNGA, bitchez.
P.S. http://tg24.sky.it/tg24/speciale_elezioni/politiche/2013/senato/risultat...
Luigi Bersani 248 32,36%
Silvio Berlusconi 218 28,44%
In other news, UK 10 yr keeps rising to 2.14%.
It would be so cool to see Berlusconi bend the Eurocrats over a barrel and bunga-bunga them.
These theatrics just lend plausible deniability to the insanity. We understand where this is all going. The idea is to create doubt in order to gain extended game play.
TO BAD I PIRATI ISN'T WINNING!
How about Berlusconi doing the bunga bunga with unsuspecting meter maids.

Dow 36,000......
"priced in"
*fixed*
I hope he picks Mario Balotelli as his Secretary of the Vaginas
A little Bunga Bunga goes a long way.
Grillo's a close 2nd and Bersani's third at the moment:

Just bring back Ruby Heartstealer.
"BERLUSCONI COALITION LEADING SENATE IN SICILY: LA7 PROJECTS"
Is Sicily like Italy's Ohio?
Diebold says YES!
Philadelphia.
From the Chicago Tribune: Dewey defeats Bunga!
It would be very funny if Berlusconi gets anywhere near power after he was so rudely ousted by Merkozy. Where is Sarkozy anyway?
I would love to read Angela Merkel's letter offering her congratulations on his election victory, should he ever regain power.
Former President Al Gore isn't buying it...

FORZA ITALIA, bitchez.
Banzai, we need one similar poster with young girls, that are actually 18*.
*For legal reasons.
Bill, are you planning on creating any additional Limited Edition Prints for sale soon?
go berlusconi. i hope u win this thing.
send the markets tumbling and the bankers losing there shirts. fuck them all.
So say us all.
"Le palle al muro!"
Why does this matter to the S&P 500???? Or the Russell 2000??
A Bunga win means Italy returns to the days of economic efficiency, political transparency, and 16-yr. old Moroccan hookers. Thus, there's no way that Italy is at risk of becoming a fresh catalyst for another bout of EU crises...no way at all.
Oh, more hookers. got it.
my ulcer ...
Why can't the US candidates be as entertaining? Can't we get some crazed idiot running for President ? I want a guy who is absolutely out of control. Wouldn't it be funny to have a President/candidate with a major sex scandal. Maybe he should even be accused of getting a blow job in the oval office.....oh wait.... we have had that.
I guess the Italians voting for Berlusconi are more like Americans than we thought. Trust me, if Obama got caught doing something very un-Presidential, 47% of America would still vote for him.
Laugh at the Italians all you want, but it just isn't that different here in the U.S.

That's a great picture of Donald Trump! His hair looks like fine goose down feathers - its glorious!
@ post from circa 2011, re: "Trust me, if Obama got caught doing something very un-Presidential, 47% of America would still vote for him."
It's 2013 now, and you were exactly right....
Looks like results are in, somewhere, since EUR is in free-fall. :)

Haaaaaaaaaaaa:)
I fckn love it, nice work my Italian buddies,
Burn you EU scumbags, burn,
A celebration dinner of Spagettii Bologneighs and Chianti I think,
Yipee:)
Bologneighs
"...My wife will have the Quarterhorse Cavatelli and I will have your pony Gnocchi. That will be our mane course."
"mane course" lol:)
I salute you sir,
With a Bunga Bunga message he wins.
All the men who voted, secretly hope to be as frisky as Silvio when they're his age. :)
Please win.....please help collapse this bitch.
So which one of these guys is from Kenya?
The Euro short this morning was a perfect technical retracement up to the downtrend line around 1.3320 from the big breakdown of the uptrend line last week that dates back to last summer. This should hold but election results may influence it, so if it breaks thru that downtrend line near my entry with any force I'll look to exit. I think the dollar will make it to 83-ish, which would put the Euro somewhere around 1.28-ish.
woooooooooops !
FUCK EUROPE :-)
Not only the Senate:
