According to the newly published diaries of Mussolini’s mistress Clara Petacci, Mussolini got annoyed at people comparing him to Hitler. Mussolini is quoted as boasting in August 1938. “I have been a racist since 1921. I don’t know how they can think I’m imitating Hitler.” [full story]
The diaries bring to light how much his mistress loved and cared for him. Walter Audisio, who shot Mussolini, said, “I did not have the impression that I was shooting a human being.” He was surprised when Mussolini trembled. Benito Mussolini shouldn’t be remembered as an evil man. He should be remembered as just another dickhead in a silly hat.
Putting the scepter in his dead hand is genius. It’s like a really high brow version of writing BITCH on your passed out friend’s forehead.
