The prime minister can run? When he can barely walk? And in North Face? In the sun? In the presence of Mrs Michelle Muscat?

Published: November 20, 2013 at 10:05pm

Hello, boys! Hello, girls! Mrs Michelle Muscat is a girl scout. She likes to Be Prepared. While her husband flies around the world in 80 days (if it’s Wednesday, it must be Miami) selling citizenship, she deals with the really important issues in her diary.

Like selecting his ‘n’ hers coordinated Northface outfits for the President’s ‘fun run’ two weeks ahead of D-day.

Running in Northface. In the 1 December sun. Whatever next.

P. S. Can they actually run?

Michelle Muscat and the fun run

    Aren’t they going to wear the Tshirt and bib like all the rest of the crowd?

  2. SkinnySackboy says:

    That cretinous smile

  3. Joe Micallef says:

    It’s precisely because he can’t walk, let alone run, that he needs rugged clothes – to minimise bruising.

    • Ronald Pisani says:

      Bruising? Is that Simon Busuttil you’re talking about?Still has not got over the 2013 election results and he gets this mauling. Another one. From someone who can’t walk! Daphne, you are ridiculing yourself time and time again not correcting these ‘immensely bright’ companions in distress of yours. Awguri u hudu pacenzja!

  4. CIS says:

    They must have invited her over and given her everything for free – and get a free advert in between. The Abelas are staunch Labour.

  5. TinaB says:

    Qabda laghqin.

    It seems like this bunch will keep me busy for the next five years. Because they don’t just need sartorial advice. They also need advice on outdoors kit.

    Wearing North Face kit for a run is the ultimate in allyness. Even worse than a scrim scarf in the jungle. And it’s a safe bet you’ll go down with heat stroke. This is Malta, not blimmin’ Svalbard. The weather’s still warm, humidity is as high as ever, and you’ll be running. Unless they plan on a covert rv with their chauffeur and a covert drop-off a few metres before the finish line.

    They’ll have bought a hardshell with a waterproof lining too, I shouldn’t wonder. I hope someone has planned hydration posts every five metres.

    If Joseph Muscat wants to look nails he should wear Helly Hansen. Or Under Armour Heat Gear. The better to compress his abs.

    If they REALLY needed to buy North Face kit, couldn’t they do it over the internet, like everyone else? Or was this just another commission for a faithful Labour voter?

    • Gakku says:

      Nobody buys North Face for running. It’s ridiculous. I guess it’s around 20 degrees still in Malta?

      All he needs is a decent sweat-wicking t-shirt and that’s it. Or maybe he should also wear a wool hat just to make sure that wonderful brain of his doesn’t lose too much heat.

  7. anthony says:

    I hope they also advised him that he requires a copious supply of terra 123.

    This is not on Google. Ask a dino like me.

  8. H.P. Baxxter says:

    Sure, the Prime Minister can run. But he can’t hide.

  9. Pisces says:

    He is totally unfit for a run, let alone a marathon. He should be careful of a heart attack, like that 87 year old woman who ran a marathon and died the following day.

  10. Albert Bonnici says:

    What crap. One shop I will certainly not visit.

  11. unhappy says:

    If he will survive 87 …… too late to redeem the sins tha he had committed

    Doing business with the faithful indeed. The Abela family which owns the Adventure Camping Shop near Mater Dei is a staunch Labour family.

    Nico Abela is one of the youths featured at 0:21 on the pre election Malta Taghna Lkoll promo video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_3IE41onokw.

    His father, Silvio Abela, an ex policeman, was seen on many occasions acting as Joseph Muscat’s bodyguard before the election and is rumoured to have been recently rewarded with an iced bun by being appointed as a paid consultant to Minister Leo Brincat and as Chairman of a committee which has not yet been announced publicly and which is working on a campsite public private partnership which the government intends launching in the coming months.

    • H.P. Baxxter says:

      The famous Silvio tal-Adventure.

      Re. that campsite, he was running the one at Ghajn Tuffieha way back in the PN years. Was given exclusive management rights or something.

  13. Nighthawk says:

    OK, so that’s somewhere we won’t be shopping.

    • Ronald Pisani says:

      They will still do good business, because they have the majority on their side and most of the least low-minded like you.

  14. Berta says:

    Do they really need to wear North Face? Can’t they run in Abanderado and donate the money they would otherwise have spent? I’m sure the Big Ben Gaucis would be more than happy to give it to them for free.

  15. Il-Cop says:

    Another outlet struck off my list.

  16. Antoine Vella says:

    The Fun Run is supposed to be for charity. Instead of buying brand new clothes just for this occasion, the VIPs should have donated the money to the Community Chest Fund and wore clothes they already had in their wardrobe.

  17. Django says:

    The Muscats are going to look massive in sportswear.

  18. R. Azzopardi says:

    It’s no secret that the owner of the Adventure Camping Shop is a hardcore Laburist.

  19. Chris Portelli says:

    Quack quack, waddle waddle, here I come.

  20. George says:

    Actually this is a Fun Run, but these idiots turned it into a Farce Run.

  21. Gaetano Pace says:

    He can`t run, well maybe, but he can no doubt rush into lies and irresponsible decisions.

  22. Doone says:

    Dear Nico and Larkin, thanks for sharing! Now I know where not to go buy my stuff.

    Not exactly sure on who used who here (my guess is that it was a mutually satisfying exercise in laghqizmu) so you are welcome to enjoy your photo with your celebrity while I use it to remind myself what a bunch of idiots and opportunists we have running our country.

    If they don’t get the president’s T-shirt which I presume is against a donation to the Malta Community Chest Fund, ahseb u ara kemm se jaghtu donation.

    Mind you, I don’t blame them, because they might know better than I do where that money actually goes. Does it still fund Abela relatives on their flights and studies, etc?

    Maybe next time Mrs Muscat goes to buy toilet paper she can be photographed at her favourite grocery shop – why should it be just North Face that gets a free advert?

  23. Chris Portelli says:

    Let’s hope it rains, so the ducks will feel at ease as they waddle through the fun run.

  24. Mariella says:

    Dawn bis-serjeta’? She’s not going to attend a fashion show but a charity run/walk. Sorry but I get so irritated.

    Have we ever seen Mrs Gonzi having photos taken of herself going shopping, or buying special kit for a charity run/walk? Ridiculous. I have decided not to go to the fun run this year and I am sure that like me, there are other people that will not be going. Last year there were loads of PL supporters all shouting and applauding Dr Muscat at the end. I don’t want to be part of this.

  25. Marco Camilleri says:

    Why are you underestimating the challenge that Mrs Muscat has?

    Having the sort of body that the prime minister has, and the way he’s put on weight since his attempt to tell us how fit he is during the election campaign less than a year ago, it is a real challenge to be able to wrap him up in sports gear while keeping up appearances.

    Can’t wait to see what the queer eye for the sweet fat guy programme has come up with.
