Non per giustificare il *Wall Street Journal* (perish the thought!), ma
il titolo non faceva altro che rievocare il simpatico nomignolo

dibattito politico in Italia, soprattutto da parte dei sottili retori
della destra, mi pare che non ci si possa limitare troppo se poi la
stampa straniera si adegua. Ciao,
Luca
