Silvio Berlusconi has been leader of one of Italy's major political parties (in 3 different forms) for 21 years and prime minister for 9 of those years. He is one of the richest men on the planet and was a valued member of the G8. He is, by any measure, an extremely powerful and famous person...who somehow managed to conduct himself with little to no regard for how he was perceived by the public. His sexual activities make up only a small percentage of his scandalous enterprises and that's really saying something. One of Berlusconi's lasting legacies will be entering the phrase "bunga bunga party" into the lexicon as it was apparently his term for the orgies he liked to throw. Now, if all participants were consenting adults, details of these events might never have become public knowledge. However, in 2013, Berlusconi was convicted of paying an underage prostitute for sex at one of the parties and the preceding investigation brought a lot of information to light about the goings-on. These tidbits included that the PM was introduced to the joys of bunga bunga parties by Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi (what a fun guy!) and that, at one, Berlusconi asked a Dominican dancer to dress up as a burlesque version of Obama. Kudos on the very specific fetish, Silvio.
