HOT UPDATE ON JOSEPH MUSCAT'S ON-AGAIN-OFF-AGAIN MEDICAL CONDITION

I've been wondering for months just why Joseph Muscat's head-shape and features remind me of something, and now I've got it: the Sugar Puffs honey monster

I've been wondering for months just why Joseph Muscat's head-shape and features remind me of something, and now I've got it: the Sugar Puffs honey monster

The day before yesterday the Labour Party released a statement claiming that Joseph Muscat was unable to go to two funerals in as many days ‘because of his medical condition’.

At yesterday’s funeral, he was apparently unable to walk up to receive holy communion and so the priest had to walk up to him.

But today, that medical condition mysteriously disappeared again just as it did when he took a cruise and appeared as a guest on a Super One show.

A window opened miraculously in his journey through pain and allowed him to visit Dom Mintoff in hospital this evening.

The Labour Party sent its best wishes to Mr Mintoff and said it was closely monitoring the situation. His condition, it said, was stable. Party leader Joseph Muscat visited Mr Mintoff in hospital late in the evening.

    I wish Dom Mintoff a quick recovery and for sure God is with him because he preached and lived Jesus Christ. Montoff was the person who took out disabled persons from the underground and gave them dignity and materially helped them. He was the person that created the middle tier and gave it the lungs to breathe. He made Malta and created wealth by giving power to the workers to steer the destiny of Malta. Dear God give Dom the needed help and to recover soon. Ad multos annos perit.

    HUH? I MEAN HUH? HUH? “he preached and lived Jesus Christ” – Victor, dear, Mintoff’s atheism is more widely known than the fact that the sky is blue.

    Grazzi Perit, Grazzi,

    HA! HA!

    Christ, how his wife has aged in just a year (and you have to read this interview from July 2009 – hysterical):

    Now compare that radiant pic to this most recent one:

    Being the deputy prime minister must be really hard work, and when you’re coaching a couple of three-year-olds for their O-level exams, it’s just a damn nightmare.

    Seems like the PL has been jinxed this summer. First they had the Leader suffer from an intermittent hairline fracture/medical condition and now the Leader Emeritus is in hospital.

  6. OH MY GOD, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS says:

    From now on, I’m buying Coco Pops – or perhaps not, because they have the air of Toni Abela about them.

  7. OH MY GOD, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS says:

    ‘The Labour Party is closely monitoring the situation’ – why, is Dom Mintoff likely to explode and blow up a couple of nurses with him?

    It’s the medical team at Mater Dei who are monitoring Mintoff closely, you ridiculous tweprs, and not the jerks and politicians and Marisa Micallef and Kurt Farrugia over at LabourHQ.

    What situation are THEY mointoring – tossing coins to see whether Joseph Muscat is going to have a medical condition or not should the horrible old man snuff it?

    Min jaf kemm gejjin teatrini – ghajr minn ta’ Dimarku.

  8. Dr Francis Saliba says:

    “GOD is with Mintoff”? I always thought that according to the MLP faithful Mintoff was “god”, and in addition he was our “saviour” and the “professor” of his unique sample of “democracy”.

  9. Sapun u sponza u hafna Dettol says:

    Now’s Joseph’s chance to give the stinking old bugger’s private parts a good hose-down. As he tells us (repeatedly) he’s had a lot of practice with the wife.

    Anyone who’s been near Mintoff in the last few years has had to fall out of the room gagging for air.

    I hope to be away for the Gagfest that’s bound to be his funeral, over which his ghost will hang yelling ‘Xiz-z*pp hu dan il-hafna n*jk haqq gh*** il-Madonna!’

    Those who worked with him in his heyday will be familiar with the sound.

    What are the odds that even the Nationalist media and the newspaper he tried to have burnt down will depict him as a heroic figure in Maltese history instead of the major c**t (I use that word in the British sense) that he really was?

    Oh the bliss of speaking about Mintoff in the past tense. Another Labour Party statement saying that his condition is stable will ruin my morning.

    • Antoine Vella says:

      I’m not in any hurry to see Mintoff go, actually. The longer he lives the more of an embarrassment to Labour he becomes.

    Aw, Kurt, hi – mela m’ghadx ghandu medical condition il-boss tieghek? Jaqaw mort titlob ghalih Borg in-Nadur ma’ dak Charlon Gouder (forsi jirnexxielu jghabbi b’xejn minflok ihallas)?

  11. Dem-ON says:

    It would be terrible if Mintoff were to pass away at this point. According to the medical advice he was given, Joseph Muscat would either have to stay away from his funeral or be carried onto the catafalque with Mintoff walking behind.

  12. Gahan says:

    “Montoff was the person who took out disabled persons from the underground and gave them dignity and materially helped them”.

    I thought Mons Mikiel’s surname was Azzoppardi not ‘Montoff’.

    He wasn’t even in Malta during the war, and no one knows what he was doing in England.

    While his entourage were imprisoned (Agatha Barbara and Joe Micallef Stafrace immediately come to mind) in the 1956 riots, he was not convicted of any crime.

    He’s the prime minister who kept John Gaul living as a free man in Malta on the ‘Lotus Eater’, when Scotland Yard wanted his extradition because he was the prime suspect for the murder of his wife.

    [Daphne – And he gave him Comino.]

    He was prime minister when Phoenix Textiles, Shirasuna, Toko, GE, Plessey and many other international companies had to leave Malta.

    Thanks to him we were the last country to adopt the Strauger telephone exchange system, to introduce colour TVs, to introduce some computers, and we re-used post-war technology for our power station and ran it on coal to the detriment of the poor people of the inner harbour area.

    Under his regime we started to install water tanks on our roofs because the water supply was intermittent, because he refused to invest in reverse osmosis plants. And do you remember those damned voltage stabilisers?
