					<description><![CDATA[Daphne - Antoine, they&#039;re allowed. But you have to be very young, very tall, very elegant, very hip and very handsome to carry them off.

.....hey, haven&#039;t you just given us a description of JM :):)

					<description><![CDATA[Pat
&quot;Kind of sweet I have to say. Didn’t know that JM had a gay fanbase&quot;

Could explain his prominent rainbow tie when he visited the PN headquarters. I think he also has a pink one - saw him on some video or other.

					<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t think you can generalise in either of the cases, most middle class people I know think Herrera is a joke. and I heard Micallef Stafrace doing the press review on the radio yesterday and he came across as quite rough.  ghalhekk il-baqra tinbiegh kollha.

[&lt;strong&gt;Daphne - Micallef Stafrace isn&#039;t rough at all. I know him. We&#039;re contemporaries. But that&#039;s the trouble - they find it necessary to come across redneck style, which is such a mistake. And whether Herrera comes across as a joke or not is irrelevant to the face that he doesn&#039;t come across as a redneck. The trouble with Gulia, Micallef Stafrace and Herrera is that they are so obviously in the wrong party.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@Pat.

He certainly doesn&#039;t.

But dont underestimate his sex appeal, Daphne.  After all, there used to be women who went crazy for KMB, back in the 80s.  But then it was the decade that style forgot.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Thanks for confirming re Muscat and his non-existent gay fan base, Holland. As for his &#039;sex appeal&#039; - don&#039;t forget that the operative word here is sex. When you&#039;re appealing to kids, buz-nanniet, ageing straight men and others who are out of the market for sex with men, it&#039;s not sex appeal we&#039;re talking about, but something else. The same went for that dried-up old stick you mentioned.] &lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Daphne, I don&#039;t know what the &quot;Oooh, touchy, touchy&quot; is about. I had not even noticed your comment to Pat when I wrote my comment. Besides, there&#039;s nothing for me to be touchy about. Perhaps it&#039;s best not to talk about who&#039;s touchy here ;)

As to my &quot;US conspiracy theories&quot; that&#039;s quite a cop-out by people who have done no research and who believe that the mainstream media tells them everything. You had likewise dismissed my comments some months ago about the imminent financial collapse (more is yet to come, taxpayers&#039; bailout or not). Today, you dismiss the fact that within the next few months the dollar will collapse and with it the whole US empire. And you also dismiss the reality that the feds have been preparing for martial law in America (ostensibly to tackle potential civil unrest).

Hoping we have no &#039;October surprises&#039;, may your obsession with &quot;chicken-brained&quot; Labourites lead us all to a better life.

P.S. Thanks for educating me on how to spell Buffonery. Who needs a spellchecker when Daphne is around! Serious stuff, spelling... true...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;...and the rednecks have taken over the asylum.&quot;

Exactly!

As strange as it may sound, the very section of the MLP which was meant to &#039;educate&#039; (the Education Secretariat and then Super One) were the first to have been taken over by Ray Azzopardi.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - That&#039;s why we had Alfie on Super One all the time, God rest his soul - educating Labour supporters in the ways of hair. Well, at least it marked a decline in mannish cuts dyed plum.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I know you don&#039;t like Evarist Bartolo and Helena Dalli but they too have a following among  non-rednecks.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - You must be joking. Some maybe, but not generally speaking, unlike the others we mentioned.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Labour have nice people who don&#039;t only appeal to rednecks. Charles Mangion and Gavin Gulia to name two.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Yes, but the very nice Charles Mangion who I really enjoy talking to at parties turns into a redneck on stage, and helped lose Labour the election with his DNA performance. Gavin Gulia, Simon Micallef Stafrace and Jose Herrera are invisible, and the rednecks have taken over the asylum.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I thought as much, although I wasn&#039;t sure. Need to get some serious Maltese studies going.

Kind of sweet I have to say. Didn&#039;t know that JM had a gay fanbase.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - He doesn&#039;t. There were brief glimmerings at the beginning, but they died. He has no sex appeal. If he isn&#039;t sexually attractive to straight women, he&#039;s not going to be sexually attractive to gay men, either. He&#039;s sort of sexless in that ageing boy-band way, appealing to women who are scared of sex, girls too young for sex, and women long past their sex-by-date. But I won&#039;t mention names.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
