I personally think it&#039;s ridiculous that both Gonzi and Muscat seem unable to get out of the house without their wives. Don&#039;t these wives have anything better to do than follow their husbands around? Or is it perhaps that the dear hubbies have no ideas to sell so they need to sell their &quot;happily married&quot; image. Please, wives, GET A LIFE!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Am I missing something here? Muscat, Inspector Gadget and the rest are all dolled up in smart sjuts. But Michelle looks like an ageing groupie chasing after them in jeans and a baggy shirt. Why does her husband always look as though he&#039;s oblivious to her presence or indifferent to her, in all but those very stage-managed situations on actual stages?
