3. I dunno where you heard this,

but it's quite true.

'After completing his secondary school education at a Salesian college, he studied law at the Universit� Statale in Milan, graduating with a thesis on the legal aspects of advertising in 1961. Berlusconi was not required to serve the standard one-year stint in the Italian army which was compulsory at the time.<4> During his university studies he was an upright bass player in a group formed with the now Mediaset Chairman and amateur pianist Fedele Confalonieri and occasionally performed as a cruise ship crooner.'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvio_Berlusconi

It's certainly fitting. :)

6. Good God, I almost admire the man.

I mean, when you do THAT kind of stuff and you STILL manage to stay in office...

7. You've never seen a Ronald Reagan movie?

He was, at BEST, a D list actor who somehow became governor then president.
WOW.
