For example, the following titbits of wisdom seem to fit Lejber and some of the stars in their crimson sky:

— What is new cannot be true. (‘Bidu gdid’).

— Who leaves the old for new will find himself deceived.

— He that once deceives is ever suspected.

— Liars begin by imposing upon others, and end by deceiving themselves.

— The first degree of folly is to hold one’s self wise, the second to profess it and the third to despise counsel.

— Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

— Pride increases our enemies, but puts our friends to flight.

— Promises may make friends, but ‘tis performances that keep them.

— It’s too late to shut the stable door after the horse has bolted.

— He that takes the devil into his boat must carry him across the sea.

— The more you tramp on a turd, the broader it grows.

If it is true that Dr.Falzon is being blamed for bursting Lejber’s election balloon, then the turd in the red chicken-coop may soon grow even broader.

On second thoughts, him as leader will guarantee another PN victory or rather Lejber defeat – quite a pill to swallow.

Nerga’ nghid: Ghalxejn isir il-musical chairs tas-soltu, anke jekk jirrizenja nofs il-bord ta’ tmexxija. Li jrid jinbidel huwa l-paradimma bla sens ta’ “Ahna L-imjassrin mill-Barrani/Benestant.”

Imma daqs dan se jaghtu kaz li nghid jien. Ghax meta nies bhali jaghmlu kummenti bhal dawn, ir-risposta tal-MLP dejjem tkun “Tghid hell ghax Nazzjonalist”. By the way, din kretinata ohra ta’ Malta: Ghax wiehed jivvota PN ma jfissirx li hu “Nazzjonalist”. Jien Ewropist l-ewwel u qabel kollox, anzi l-ewwel u l-ahhar. U l-Istorja riedet li kien il-PN biss li ried li Malta tidhol fl-EU. Allura, ghiduli, Sinjuri tal-MLP, in-nies bhali, u naf hafna, lil min jaqbdu jivvutaw jekk mhux lilm-PN. Jekk ma ddahlux din f’raskom, ghalxejn toholqu Programmi Elettorali fantastici. Intom il-partit li ried izommni barra mill-Ewropa (iva, mill-Ewropa, mhux mill-EU biss), u dan qatt ma nista’ ninsieh.
