Make your loyalties known, Musumeci. Are you shagging Consuelo Herrera or the Labour Party?

A magistrate sandwiched between two men from Super One

An excerpt from Super One’s current campaign:

“Incidentalment bhalissa jinsab ghaddej attakk moqziez u mill-aktar viljakk fuq l-istess Musumeci permezz tal-internet fuq blogg li huwa notorju ghal dawn it-tip ta’ attakki.”

Would we ever have thought that we’d live to see the day when Super One defends Robert Musumeci and champions his cause.

A bit of sex can change everything.

Perhaps it’s time for Robert Musumeci to make it abundantly clear where his loyalties lie, because to the rest of us out here, it looks like he’s being manipulated in the Labour Party’s interests by his mistress.

When politicians are literally sleeping with the enemy, they’ve got to go.

    Ironically, from yesterday’s Facebook page of Musumeci:

    Robert and Giannella Caruana Curran are now friends.

    [Daphne – Yes, more of the demimonde.]

    • Peter Mallia says:

      Birds of a feather.

      [Daphne – I’d like to see her try and sue for libel for being compared to her Facebook Friend.]

    • surprise...not says:

      you should check out the comments left by consuelo and veronique dalli on GCC’s wall sucking up for her birthday

  2. No Judge says:

    Why is the PL going out on a limb for this man given the various accusations – right or wrong – which have been levelled against him including the notorious Bahrija case and the announced revocation of the lease of the building housing the Siggiewi PL club? Is it maybe his association with some members of the newsroom at Mile End?

    Considering that he may be occupying a seat in parliament soon, I would also question the mess Victor Scerri has been placed in. After all, he was – and is – his architect, no?

    Trojan horses? The plot thickens.

    • Gianni Xuereb says:

      Siggiewi PL club revocation was Karol Aquilina’s masterpiece who wants to take his place as a mayor.

      • No Judge says:

        But he IS the Mayor and might possibly have been aware of his chances for a seat in parliament! In fact, if elected, he would be vacating his post of Mayor.

      • Kolinu says:

        Ghalija personali veru kienet il-masterpiece politika ta’Karol Aquilina, li probabilment ghandu ghajnuna u gwida minn partijiet ohra tal-PN. Jekk Karol isir sindku tas-Siggiewi, ikun qed ikompli it-tradizzjoni tal-familja tieghu.

    I don’t want to publish this in my name. I do not know if you are aware of the fact that we at Siggiewi were very surprised when Robert entered the political field as a Nationalist candidate.

    Robert’s family political inclinations were never clear to the locals. His mother is believed to be a staunch Labour supporter and I was told she was even seen in a local meeting partonised by Alfred Sant. I happen to be his age and I remember that he was never interested in politics. It was the time when being a PN supporter was cool and we all assumed that he belonged to the other camp.

    • Nicky Mamo says:

      Dear David, if by your age (assuming you really are NeMusu’s age), you have not realised that a good majority of our beloved political and professional class are not in it for personal gain and social scaling, your brain really is beyond repair!

      I come from a very humble family, and hold a very humble job, but I can assure you there were others at Uni in my year who:

      1. were reading to become lawyers – and never opened a single book;
      2. read law and became part of SDM (pulse did not exist yet) because it was cool (i.e. all the classy, good-looking girls were there) and it was a highway to a political career or if that failed, you’d be ‘friends’ with future politicians;
      3.never attended a single bloody lecture – I doubt whether they actually sat for exams to be honest, yet I routinely find them face to face with me in high-flying government posts (e.g. heading govt. agencies, representing govt. agencies in the media, and generally just milking the system).

      Oh! and most of these people are to be seen regularly on The Sunday Times magazines in those photos full of posers in parties for the ‘in’ crowds,

      I could go on, but prefer to keep my counsel.

  4. mata says:

    Well Muscat did refer to Dalli and Louis Galea as the PN’s ‘best elements’ (quoting from yesterday’s Times of Malta website), wara li ma nafx kemm damu jaqalghu lil Dalli fuq personal interests and so on and so forth. So I wouldn’t be too surprised if they suddenly feel the need to defend Musumeci, especially if it’s in their interest to do so.

    • maryanne says:

      These are the progressives. They change opinions all the time. Look at Toni Abela. He has changed his mind on abortion. They changed their minds on EU and on a thousand other things. Skond il-mument. So don’t be surprised if they start singing praises for Musumeci.

  5. Manuel says:

    He’s actually screwing the PN.

  6. Anthony Farrugia says:

    Musumeci is a liability to the PN and should be dumped asap if he does not have the decency, guts, cojones – call it what you will – to depart from local and wannabe national politics.

    [Daphne – He should have just been deselected the day he started shagging the enemy. End of story. In fact, he should have been deselected for leaving his wife when she’d just had a baby. You can’t sell yourself as the party of high moral values and then accept pieces of crap like that to represent you.]

    • H.P. Baxxter says:

      Look on the bright side, children. People are starting to reach across party lines. And conga lines. And tan lines. And coke lines.

    • Arthur Hill says:

      Be assured that come next election he wont be representing me or my family. That’s for sure. I don’t want traitors speaking for me.

    • Frank Martins says:

      oh so you do admit that you have pieces of crap….you are in a shipwreck and you’re lost.Now everyone on this blog can see for himself that even you yourselves are not happy and satisfied with your own men how the heck do you expect the people out there to trust you….everyone is against the PN.So why doesn’t he just gives the lead to some real leader.

      • Anthony Farrugia says:

        What real leader? Please don’t give me the obvious answer, he is still wet behind the ears. Might as well put an ad in the Situations Vacant in the paper!

    • P Shaw says:

      That says a lot about the PN vetting process.

  7. Tony Pace says:

    Forget about ”the plot thickening”, more like the shit has hit the fan.

    And the public needs to see some decent reaction from our political leaders in the interest of improving our perception of who’s up there judging us.

    Actually thinking about it, Joey not condemning these shenanigans tells us a lot about his ‘Moviment gdid’. The guy doesn’t realise what a PR opportunity he has missed.

    I suppose he thinks he has won some points by encouraging a domestic squabble to hit the front page of his rag. Miskin.

  8. Peter Mallia says:

    I do remember Musumeci on TV praising Alfred Sant and perplexing everyone. Now I understand things better. Musumeci – pls bow out.

  9. Manuel says:

    As things stand, the honourable thing to do would be for the Magistrate to ask to be investigated, and for Mr. Musumeci to refrain from contesting the casual election.

  10. Jmor says:

    PN.. the party of high moral values? hahaha. They are as corrupt as the rest of them.

    It really has nothing to do with who they vote or run for, there is scum on both sides of the political spectrum.

  11. Hot Mama says:

    I am really feeling for Lawrence Gonzi having to rein in wayward children in the likes of Musumeci and Franco Debono. Where have the halcyon days of the PN gone when moral uprightness and service to the country were the two most important qualities to have when running for office? We might be laughing at the shenanigans of people in public office but it is actually very sad to see that our party is being poisoned by self-serving politicians who don’t know the true meaning of duty and loyalty to the country most of all.

  12. Dominic Fenech says:

    Is this to say that 2013 may come sooner than we thought?

    • John Schembri says:

      I think so Dominic – no need to go far. If he was able to swap his loyal wife while she was giving birth to their baby, swapping his party would be a walk in the park. L-ewwel kwart iebes, u dan ilu li qabzu l-kwart.

      Min jaghmel qoffa jaghmel qartalla. Only in this case, he’s made the qartalla before making a qoffa.

      Both political parties should scrutinise their candidates as to their character and their behaviour. We saw that sort of thing when Dalli was grilled by the MEPs. Popularity is important but there are many other things which come before that when choosing candidates to run our country.

  13. Ray says:

    Pity Eddie isn’t still around. He would have sorted this piece of p***and ordered this a****** out of parliament.

  14. Ronnie says:

    Are you suggesting that any Nationalist Minister, MP or prospective candidate should not marry, have a relationship or shag anyone Labour voting? Mintoff would be proud.

    [Daphne – Quite obviously, no. I’m saying that no politician should sleep on a regular basis with somebody who is very much involved with the rival party, because somebody in this position is faced with an impossible choice: keeping your mouth shut at home or burdening your ‘partner’ with divided loyalties when told (to pass on the information or not to pass on the information). Secondly, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the magistrate has made it her game-plan to help bring the Labour Party to power as soon as possible, which is why she has over the last few months targetted Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando and his partner and become their new best friends. As for Robert, she would much rather he’s in the Labour Party than on the Nationalist benches, and she’s working on making that happen. This is so transparent I’m surprised you don’t see it. But then he probably doesn’t either, because he hasn’t known that woman as long as I and so very many others have.]

    • John Schembri says:

      Ronnie, as a voter I have the right to know EVERYTHING about the candidates a political party asks me to choose from. Candidates should be scrutinised about the way they think and behave. One should know for whom to vote if one is pro-divorce, for example. One who wants divorce wouldn’t vote for a Cana movement member.

      I thought I was au courant with the political scene, but I feel shocked to find out about this kind of behaviour, which I never thought was happening.

      • Ronnie says:

        John I never mentioned the right to know, that is sacrosanct. Let the public know and let them decide too.

    • P Shaw says:

      JPO is challenging Gonzi on every single isssue (St John’s Cathedral, Delimara, Louis Galea). I do not think that it will be Franco Debono who will bring down this government. It will be JPO, and it will occur sooner rather than later. He is smarter than Debono, who is still a kid after all.

      • Tal-Muzew says:

        Wara dak kollu li ghamlu mieghu qabel l-elezzjoni…….. missu jisthi.

      • Arthur Hill says:

        I assure you that they will rue the day they bring this government down. All of these rebels will pay for their misdeeds. Uomo avvisato mezzo salvato. This is not democracy … this is anarchy within our own party. We will not tolerate it. Even if we have to go to the opposition benches and give Joseph Muscat the crown without fighting for it. Unless Dr Gonzi wakes up and takes control of his own party, he may very soon find himself on the opposition benches.

  15. John Schembri says:

    Just two observations, Daphne.
    1) you haven’t published yesterday’s newspaper piece.
    2) There’s a ‘marathon’ 10-day general conference of the Malta Labour Party. I think all this hullabaloo was intentionally slipped to the media to deter public attention from this political party silent hijack by the few.

    When Mintoff turns 93 he would not recognise the party he founded. The only characteristic which will remain would be that it opposes everything the PN comes up with.

  16. Chris Ripard says:

    This whole sordid affair is a real eye-opener. Most of us have this perception about people but we don’t know the half of it.

    Who knows what goes on behind closed doors in this country? Can we trust our politicians? Our judiciary? Our police force? Our business moguls?

    More than ever before, all of us should be ultra careful who we vote for. Fortunately, amongst the dross, there are a few good men and women.

    • Mario De Bono says:

      Chris, I happen to have written an article on this in yesterday’s The Malta Independent on Sunday, which has a bearing on this. But you simply can’t tar everyone with the same brush. in my opinion, if you want to be officer class, you have to act like that at any time.

  17. Rover says:

    That Mintoff would not recognise the party he founded is not such a bad thing as it was the most divisive party in the history of these islands. That it should be replaced by the present crop of self indulging individuals is a terrible shame and goes to show that they have learnt precisely nothing.

  18. John Schembri says:

    Rover, I’m not some Mintoff fan, but I can see that he had a vision (even though I never agreed with most of it) and he showed leadership while he was in opposition. He was against the big hospital in Gozo (that would have meant less votes from Gozo), against the Siggiewi bridge and the Msida Bridge while he was in OPPOSITION.

    Love him or hate him one knew beforehand about some of the measures he had up his sleeve. If you were an employer you knew that he was going to give equal pay for women.

    At present the MLP, sorry the LP, has no identity. It wants to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds. Its leader in his heart of hearts wants divorce but backs off when he finds that he has not enough support.

    Next Saturday he will be addressing a conference organised by the Cana Movement. Do you think that he will speak about his divorce motion in parliament or about the stretched definition of what makes a family? He speaks of being progressive while stating in the same breath that he’s moderate. I think that even Mintoff with this confused ideology would be coerced to vote PN.

    This PL hotch-potch political ideology makes me recall the confused look of an air hostess’s face when jokingly I asked for a glass of alcohol-free whiskey.

  19. Gerald says:

    It’s more due to the fact that the PN appears to be in a fix of its own making by accepting candidates who are not properly scrutinized.

  20. Rover says:

    It appears that Musumeci has little chance of winning the casual election. Good news for him and the PN leadership – he should now keep a low profile and sort out his life. I would refer to a contribution by P Zahra on this blog ( Monday-105000) to understand precisely how a professional person should behave in public. Anyone who enters politics or public office without these attributes is an accident waiting to happen.

  21. Frank Martins says:

    @Anthony Farrugia (2 February)

    Yeah everyone knows who’s wet behind the ears….if Muscat is still wet behind the ears then I bet Gonzi has a lake behind his ears because he can’t even manage his own men let alone a whole country.I don’t get it….it’s like Nationalists don’t live in the same country I live in.You never admit that your party is doing a lot of mistakes and is making the country suffer for his incompetence.What’s wrong with admitting a mistake(or even more).Mistakes are done so that one can learn from them and not repeat them (hopefully).Well I do hope that the mentality on both sides changes completely such that one can work better for the country.By the way Daphne, your blog became like the PN official website can you please be more neutral in your articles and less offensive especially to Labour party?I don’t like the way you present your articles. :/

    [Daphne – I don’t present my articles to you, my dear. You’re not a paying customer. If you don’t like them, don’t log on.]

  22. Frank Martins says:

    Oh,you present your articles to give hope to your fellow nationalists…well good luck!It won’t be long till your entertainment isn’t fun anymore.And by the way don’t call me dear again, I’m not and surely don’t want to be your dear!

  23. Ghaliex tghir daqshekk ghal Consuelo Herrera?

    [Daphne – You’d be surprised to know, ‘Richard Curmi’, that for 30 years it’s actually been the other way round, hence her hatred for me and her resentment towards me. For 30 years, she has tracked from a distance not only the minutiae of my life and latterly, also the minutiae of my sons’ lives. It is like having an obsessed stalker. There is something seriously wrong there.

    Magistrate Herrera’s entire life for the last 12 years or so has been dedicated to the pointless pastime of trying to live in her middle years a ‘fun’ youth which she never had, one in which she is attractive, sexy, popular, goes out with lots of boys, and throws parties to which ‘all the cool people’ (ha) flock. It’s because she never got to do all this at the right time of her life, though she was consumed by such desires. This much is very obvious to me and to all my/our contemporaries, but those who don’t know the full picture can’t see it. Her need to get her unfulfilled youthful desires out of her system in middle age has led her on the road to self-destruction – because you cannot sow in your late 30s and 40s, when you are a magistrate, the wild oats that you should have sown at 20.]
