"When the markets crash because I don't form a coalition, they will say it's Beppe Grillo's fault. In fact, they're saying it already. But it's fake, it's just an excuse."
That was a while back, on 28 February, just before the elections that brought his 5 Star Movement up front, with 25% of the votes.
Trouble is: it's NOT fake, it's not an excuse. The reality is that Italy is paralyzed and has been for a whole month. The three blocs face each other - Bersani on the left, Berlusconi on the right with Grillo who could call the shots if he wanted to. But he isn't. Yet all he has to do is support and condition the left which is closer to his views, but he won't.
He's like a spoiled child sitting on the floor, screaming and banging and refusing to move.
Bottom line: Grillo is irresponsible, full stop. But what can you expect from a comedian?
PS. This is the first of Our Daily Burnt Bread posts that will be coming to you whenever the news are just too stupid to bear.

Il finanziamento ai Partiti non é ben regolato dalla Legge. L'attuale Presidente della Camera é stato chiaro: si deve stabilito un tetto alla spesa e il singolo Partito ammesso al finanziamento,per approvazione della rendicazione per modelli di spesa.
Quindi il parametro é la fatturazione sulla ricevuta di spesa. Così i rappresentanti nazionali daranno il primo buon esempio.Ma Grillo non vuole controlli.
You're going to spend a lot of time picking and choosing what to report in your blog since most of it is too stupid to bear.
Thanks for doing that.
