Daphne is no journalist - she is columnist - look it up - there is huge difference.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Sigh, l-injoranza srefnata tal-Laburisti. Newspaper columnists are journalists. The distinction you seek is between columnists and reporters. I am not a reporter. Gej bil- look it up. Ahjar taqra ftit milli look it up.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Oh, I&#039;m so glad that finally you came to agree with Daphne that (in your own words) &quot;tal PL are all idiots, hamalli&quot; and &quot;tal-PN dawk kollha puliti, edukati, ghandhom good sense of humour...&quot;.

Your words, not mine.  In order to make statements like those, deep inside you must feel that way.

Ah, yes, you will come back and say that you were sarcastic.

You are so f***king predictable!]]></description>

&quot;or a very intelligent but uncharismatic technocrat who is a bit removed from the day to shit but can see the whole picture?&quot;

Then why do elderly women adore Joseph Muscat? And he is neither intelligent, nor can he see the past the walls of his Burmarrad home. Perhaps it&#039;s the maternal instinct at work.]]></description>

It would not be a bad idea to give Gieh ir-Republika to Daphne. I would go further; her writings on this blog should be compulsory reading in secondary schools and sixth forms as her English, reasoning, common sense  and deep knowledge of human frailties are an education.]]></description>

There will always be three names missing from our Gieh ir-Repubblika list:

Louis Bartolo
Edward Mallia
Daphne Caruana Galizia]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Where did you get this picture from?

I often posit (to others, sometimes to myself) this question: if you were an elderly woman in a home, who would you vote for as an MP - an extremely obliging health assistant (the chap who is meant to remove bedpans) and who is very close to the electorate or a very intelligent but uncharismatic technocrat who is a bit removed from the day to shit but  can see the whole picture?]]></description>
