They’re not girlfriends. He just pretends they are.

He’ll take someone out to lunch to, say, discuss a ‘job offer’ and he’ll make sure it’s some place where he’ll be seen. Then there’ll be ‘meetings’ (again, over lunch, usually) to discuss ‘terms’ and then he’ll somehow contrive to be seen in a public space acting familiar with the person concerned. It’s all geared towards creating a self-image based on how he imagines himself seen through other people’s eyes.

There’s nothing ‘Sarkozian’ about him – apart from the fact that he’s ugly – still less anything admirable. It’s a pity, really, because if he had any character he could actually have achieved something positive instead of creating a bubble of self-deceit.

In the merits of this blog, “You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. In what world could you possibly beat me?”

I prefer to believe that PL got such a majority because people chose Louis Grech, Edward Scicluna and Marlene Mizzi. PN did not have anyone better than these three. Let me assure you that both parties have things to be ashamed of in their past. It might surprise you to realize that we are living in the present and we should be looking towards the future not the past.

They must be spending too much time in the schoolyard and not enough time in the classroom.

Yes but he’s not a PN candidate is he, Grace? Don’t you think that the political party in which one militates counts for something? Louis Grech represents the PL with all its baggage from the past and the shallowness of its present.

Attenta Daphne, qed tilghab man-nar. Dawn it-tipi ta’ nies li ghamluha ma’ tant nies kriminali, isiru jaslu ghal kollox.

@ Chesterfield

Salvinu drops names like crazy but then you realize that a) he’s just out to impress you for he is a pathetic excuse for a man or b) they’ve all DROPPED him for they have realized precisely that.

@ HP Baxxter

Sarkozy is a giant of a man when compared with Salvinu. No comparison

[Daphne – Because you’re talking of people who haven’t yet left the schoolyard, so that’s precisely how they behave.]

Or brains. If you’re going to take the Cosa Nostra approach you don’t send your message by e-mail; you use scraps of paper (the Sicilians call them “pizzini”), which the recipients can stuff into their … mouth.
