Comedian Takes Center Stage In Italian Political Scene

While there may well be a great deal of truth and logic to what Beppe Grillo is saying in Europe, doesn't it seem a bit odd that a 'funny man' is a major political player, even in Europe?    He's not an actual candidate due to a felony conviction years back.  But he has become a voice for a very large cross section of the electorate in a part of the world that just might be in more political turmoil than we American's have seen yet.  Take a look for yourself.  WARNING!  Although not in English, there are English subtitles and the language is rough at times.  After all, he is a 'comedian'.  So I will label this one potentially NSFW!
