Robert and Jeffrey – a party at Mistra
Remember that ill-advised party at Mistra during the EP election campaign last spring? Pullicino Orlando had every right to throw a party there, but as we have seen, not everything that is legal is right or even wise.
Politically, it couldn’t have been a stupider move. At first I thought he would get away with the defiance, that he would carry it off.
Then I realised the plan was insane – strategic suicide.
The idea of that party drew such opprobrium across political lines that even the guest of honour, a PN EP candidate and a decent chap who got drawn into it through naivete, became ill and didn’t show up.
When I say that the party drew down opprobrium, I meant among electors of all stripes and the Nationalist Party itself. I did not mean the actual Labour Party, as distinct from its supporters.
The Labour Party was delighted at this messy move.
It sent its cameras to Mistra to interview Pullicino Orlando as he made his preparations.
He was photographed by Malta Today with a beautiful china cup of tea in his hands, and some dark glasses on. But that was before the rapprochement between Consie/Robert/Jeffrey and that tragic scandal-rag.
Since then, Pullicino Orlando has become (as with Super One), Malta Today’s new hero.
They interview him to find out what he thinks. They use him in their war against the prime minister.
They ask him for his ideal dinner party guest list (“Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera – she’s so bubbly”). And so it goes on.
When Pullicino Orlando promoted that Mistra party, he did so on Facebook. Where else?
Death by Facebook is apparently not something which occurs to the pre-internet generation, just as it doesn’t occur to hollow-brained teenagers, who can be excused on grounds of immaturity. There is no such excuse for people in their 40s – or, in Musumeci’s case, in their 30s.
Pullicino Orlando sent out invitations via Facebook. One of the first people to accept, with alacrity, was Robert Musumeci.
He accepted even though he knew that his political party completely opposed the Mistra festa, tried to stop it, and Pullicino Orlando was carrying on in full defiance.
Musumeci’s acceptance of the Mistra party invitation from Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando is logged on Facebook.
Had Consuelo Herrera not deactivated her Facebook account – what is she afraid we might find? – her acceptance of the Mistra party invitation would almost certainly have shown up there too.
I don’t imagine she would have allowed her Robert – 10 years younger – to go to a party without her.
Not when she so much enjoys throwing parties and organising them, with or without masks, with or without free mobile lavatories leeched off the Siggiewi council where her lover is mayor.
There’s more: Robert Musumeci promoted the Mistra party on his own Facebook page. It’s still recorded on the internet.
So while Musumeci cosied up to the Super One and Labour people that his mistress brought home for tea (and was photographed embracing at her birthday party), he was at the same time encouraging Pullicino Orlando in carrying on with the Mistra party that sent the Super One cameras there to besiege him, and promoting it on Facebook, while Labour made a festa of its own about it.
Sometimes I worry about just how slow some men are, and how they are like Plasticene in the hands of sharp women.

We want more, Daphne. We want see the other side of these people. Well done and keep it up.
Next election, I’m going to either burn my vote or write obscenities on it. You can’t trust these politicians in anything. They really don’t give a flying f*** about our country and/or us. It’s just money and power. Both sides are shady and they truly are the scum of the earth. I think that Fenech Adami was the only politician who actually gave a s***.
Thank you, Daphne.. You just made me realise this.
And then you shall have the party in government that you did not vote for. Whether you vote or not, you shall have a party in government, not having one is not an option.
What you should do is to choose the best of the lot, even if unfortunately the best might still leave a lot to be desired.
Eddie Fenech Adami was the only one. I think I am with you on this: burn the vote or return to sender.
That’s a useful way of ensuring that Joseph Muscat becomes prime minister.
Who gives a shit with this lot in power anyway.
If you do that, that will make it a definite Labour victory. Don’t ever waste your vote.
Some men may be slow but thank God they are not a quarter as spiteful, malicious and manipulative as most women. What does it serve to have talent and use it for nefarious purposes?
I think your priorities are wrong. You shouldn’t worry about the slow men – if you leave them alone they won’t do any harm. ‘Plasticene’ doesn’t bend of it’s own volition. You should worry about the sharp, evil women.
[Daphne – I am. It’s what this is all about, isn’t it. I’m with you on the women, incidentally.]
Yes Tim, women can be disappointing. I’ll never forget the disillusionment when I first discovered that girls actually farted.
You’re missing the point, o person without a surname.
O Tim – get a sense of humour.
The fact is I don’t even care who’s in government or not at this point. Yes, I do think that Gonzi is much more suitable than Muscat to run the country, the lesser of two evils (for want of a better word) but the people around him are more corrupt than the 70’s police force.
These people are building properties and ensuring their own financial future is safe while cavorting around with their mistresses and partying.
My parents have spent their whole lives working to raise us and now that they’re pensioners they have to do odd jobs to support themselves as they can’t keep up with the bills. How sad is that!
The country is going to hell while the people we need to trust in are snorting powders and inhaling hallucinogens. Nice going, lads.
So, using your logic, would you, your children and your parents be better off under Joseph Muscat and his magic wand?
If the answer is yes, then vote for the Movement of Moderates and Progressives. If the answer is no, then you have to vote PN. At least this has remained the same for the past 100 years or so – this fact alone shows consistency and pride rather than the shame that the PL are showing about their name and emblem.
My point exactly..
I’d rather vote for no-one. At least my hand would not be the one that puts any of them in government.
[Daphne – Nat, by not voting, you still put somebody in government. Removing your vote has a decisive effect in the same way as using it does.]
@ Nat – so Pontius Pilate had no say in the crucifixion.
And you would be happy, even though it hurts you – similar to those smiling papier mache angels with a rod sticking out of the back that one can see amongst the street decorations of village feasts – always smiling even though they have rod stuck up their backside.
“He was photographed by Malta Today with a beautiful china cup of tea in his hands, and some dark glasses on.”
That was surely one of the most hilarious front-page photos ever.
