	Comments on: Gensna II: the heroic struggle of a valiant Maltese columnist against the hakma of a political party machine. Beset on all fronts by evil midgets, bearded wonders and Long John Silver without his parrot, she continues to Lead the World and fly the flag for Malta in long-distance countries.	</title>

H.P. Baxxter - You&#039;re addressing the wrong dissident here.

I&#039;d rather spend time exposing deceptive globalists than a prospective prime mayor of a lost rock. Besides, I generally come here for a break from supranational politics.

This blog happens to be the flip-side of Maltastar - the smarter side of petty politics, but just as constrained and ill-informed of the world beyond. The PL and the PN play the same tune with different instruments. I cannot change their tune and the instruments are irrelevant to me.

Ultimately, Joseph is Joseph. You get what you see unless you&#039;re hopelessly blind.]]></description>

Kev, as I understand it, you do not particularly like Joseph Muscat.

Why don&#039;t you and fellow-minded Labourites summon up some intellectual courage and criticise him openly?

Surely there is something deeply reprehensible about a country filled with politicians and commentators more concerned with covering their backsides and protecting their careers than being true to themselves.]]></description>

Nope - me neither.

OK it&#039;s another &#039;Gonzi = bad, Muscat = good&#039; piece, but there is no substance or reason there whatsoever.

I dunno - maybe they think their piss-poor attempt to attack &#039;lone voice&#039; DCG is some master stroke to finally defeat/silence/outwit her?

Well, Daphne? Are you shaking in your pumps right now, and packing away your laptop for good?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Of course. Even as we speak.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
