I saw about half a minute of that program (my remote control is a bit faulty). Just caught the bit where he said that he read the emails but found ‘xejn hazin jew kompromettenti’ in them, or something on those lines.
He would have to say that otherwise there would be no nookie for the guy.
Robert Musumeci, the biggest Labour plant of all, and he doesn’t even know it because he thinks he made a free choice.
Did you forget Cyrus in the daisy chain?
I didn’t understand the second comment of Emanuel C. Schembri in your screen shot.
DV, ghax Gino Cauchi, bhalma nghidu, bozza tal-elf.
Back in the 1950s an MP is said to have told a colleague: “Kieku l-injoranza tixgħel, rasek bozza tal-elf”. (If ignorance were light, your head would be a 1000W lightbulb.)
Since then the expression has become proverbial and an established Maltese idiom.
Bozza tal-elves…

Another source of inspiration to KMB and friends.
Musumeci has been indicating for some time on Facebook that he is no longer part of the Nationalist Party.
Maybe he’s worn out walking the tightrope of life with Jose Herrera’s politically ambitious sister while trying to be loyal to the Nationalist Party. Nobody who knows the woman in his life can blame him for giving up.
I watched him and I shuddered at the thought that this amongst a list of other twerps could find himself in the next cabinet.
[Daphne – Who, Musumeci or Cauchi?]
What a far cry from having someone of this sort…

Notwithstanding whether you agree or don’t agree with him, the level of charisma is something we can only dream of here.
I’m going to incite you to read these two blog-posts:

Incitement on scale of biblical proportions! Maaaaaaaaaaaa x’biza. Kemm huma ridikoli.
The pen is mightier than the sword!
I am now incited. What now Julia and Toni?
So now you’re the one whose writing is dangerous?
And what, pray, does Julia Farrugia intend to do? Monitor your website’s traffic and identify whoever logs on?
It’s always them telling us what to do with these people. They don’t have a leg to stand on, now that the leader has been exposed for what he is, a lone twerp surrounded by a gang of power hungry lowlifes.
Just let them implode in their spite, but no way will they be allowed to destroy what’s been built over these last 25 years.
Is this incitement?
Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando and Franco Debono need to be dumped by the PN.
Our voice is not getting through.
Pullicino Orlando almost screwed the 2008 election with his Mistra f**k-up, and the PN were brought back from the brink (or to the brink).
If Alfred Sant was a bit more astute he’d have won it hands down.
Now there are no seconds chances.
There are other bitter MPs who need to concentrate their minds or have their minds concentrated for them before they keep right on flipping.
If they are allowed to stand on the PN ticket again, the PN will lose respect. It is not enough to leave it in people’s hands not to vote for them. By allowing them to stand on its ticket, the PN is saying that it thinks them worth voting for – a confused message at best and cowardly fence-sitting at worst.
I watched Musumeci’s interview with Gino Cauchi and was left with the impression of a softer Gino.
He did not stray off topic like his leader did on Bondi+. But let’s face it, he was hardly challenged. It came across as a chat between two friends.
Nevertheless, the message has come through very clearly:
Once in government, Labour will bring out its guillotine.
Labour are also finding fault with their own. Did you hear him say that the morning programme co-hosted by Pierre Portelli and their Joe Mifsud lacks impartiality?
It has occurred to me that if Dr Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando were to contest the next election on behalf of the Nationalist Party, there is bound to be a good proportion of Labour Party supporter who vote for him thinking they are voting Labour.
Are they that dim?
A person I know says that he is a staunch Labour supporter. His cousin is a candidate for the PN. He gives his no.1 vote to his cousin.
I get Foxy’s drift:
Jeffrey and Franco will be the ones to attract votes from disgruntled Nationalists who would otherwise have strayed to PL.
I agree wholeheartedly with Karl Abela. JPO and co. need to contest the next elections on the PN ticket; they will undoubtedly attract the vote of both the floaters and the disgruntled Nationalists who would otherwise abstain or vote Labour.
Don’t bet on it. To contest the elections for the PN, Pullicino Orlando would have to defend/praise the PN and attack the PL.
Labour voters would immediately turn against him.
They only make a show of supporting him because they hope he might bring down the government. Otherwise they have no use for him, or for Franco Debono, for that matter.
Why should they attract the vote of the ‘floaters’?
Not all floating voters, but the vast majority who realise that in truth there is no alternative to PN, but are unhappy with the state of affairs in some areas of the current administration.
Consequently their most likely decision in the forthcoming elections will be to ‘punish’ the PN by abstaining, or worse still vote Labour “halli naghtuhom chance.” Now with Franco and JPO on board…
So now Robert Musumeci is turning Labour. So amusing. Maybe he is feeling a possible ‘wind of change’.
Karl, many of us know that Franco attracts only political masochists (people who vote for candidates to beat their own party), clients from his district who had a favourable outcome in some court case and mostly poached voters from his party colleagues. Look at his comments on timesofmalta.com and reach your conclusions on how he defends his interests.

Any special post for the 15 year anniversary?
I felt sorry for Joseph Cuschieri tonight. He was going to cry when Lou Bondi pressed him about the position Cuschieri had taken about the EU only a few years ago. I think even Lou had the same feeling, and he let Joseph go.
I agree. I felt sorry too for Joseph Cuschieri. He had a tough life. I just hope he surrounds himself with bright people.
Malta can benefit with an extra seat but he needs to form a working relationship with David Casa and Simon Busuttil.
Il partit bla bocci imissu ilhom li qatawlhom rashom xil kaz nabbuwom imbaraz lol
This Joseph Cuschieri has what we call loyalty to the party, which is also seen by many as a selfless sacrifice for a good cause.
Lou at one point started blinking his eyes – probably he came to know a bit more about orphanages and felt sorry for the poor guy in front of him yesterday evening.
These loyal politicians who make it to the top do it the hard way. They go out to get new voters to the party and make clean campaigns, to get elected in our parliament.
Does anyone remember Michael Frendo’s 1996 case, instigated by Dr Sant as “the bus ticketing scandal”? With that mud-slinging the hardworking Dr Frendo was out of the electoral race.
Some of his colleague candidates in his district gave Sant a helping hand with rumours to poach those precious votes.
Lino Spiteri was another victim of political underhand tactics, even though he was a beam of hope to the majority of MLP delegates.
He was the front runner for his party’s leadership race and mathematically he was the sure winner until a certain MC wrote an anonymous letter against Lino which was distributed to the party delegates before the election.
A certain Paul also cast an abundant number of Sant votes in the presence of the party marshal Nestu.
In the fifth district, the PN’s Hermann Schiavone was about to be a winning horse in the 2003 election after years of hard work and campaigning, but was nipped in the bud by some opponent in his same party (probably) with another infamous anonymous letter sent to his party Leadership and probably the newspapers and the MLP.
He was asked not to contest that election, probably to avoid a “scandal” campaign a la’ Alfred Sant at the eleventh hour of the election.
The MLP call them “Terrinati” after the nickname of Ettore Bruno, who just before an election in the 1920s said under oath in court that as a waiter he saw Gerald Strickland wearing the Freemason’s apron at the Marsamxett Lodge.
The thing is that our politicians have to be on the lookout against members of their own party as well as those of the rival party, who want their seat of power: Joe Cuschieri’s was taken by Joseph Muscat, Lino’s by Alfred Sant, Herman’s by Franco Debono and Strickland’s by Il-Gross.
