If this was Italy, Eddie would probably have been President/PM for a few years by now. This is not a reference to priapic inclinations, but rather to his apparent crusade to dominate all facets of our media. Politics may next be part of his Orson Welles-scale agenda. However, the large player on the political stage is prone to criticism more blunt than customer ratings. This should not deter Eddie as it brings into play what I consider his real (possibly sub-conscious)forte; humbling and belittling those around him.
