Joseph always rises to the occasion (tajba din, eh, Entni Zammit, ha ha haj!)
Joseph Muscat marks the capture of Gaddafi and the end of the war in Libya with a historic visit to a milk pasteurisation plant.
I feel like cheering when I read something like this, below.
Right now, I’m having about the same kind of reaction listening to assorted jerks in parliament and elsewhere that I have when I see hideous children making scenes in restaurants to see how much their stupid and inept parents will let them get away with.
The prime minister, speaking this morning and reported on timesofmalta.com:
Earlier, Dr Gonzi said he constantly asked himself what the people expected of him amid the sea of problems buffeting the countries on which Malta depended for its exports and tourism. His priority, Dr Gonzi said, was to safeguard jobs.
Yet, throughout the past three years the government had only seen obstructions from the leader of the opposition, who even sought to belittle official confirmation, here and abroad, of the progress of Malta’s economy.
The only proposals seen from Dr Muscat was those he gave an RTK journalist, proposals which effectively meant that he had asked her to betray her own employer. This was scandalous, Dr Gonzi said.
But then again, one could remember how during the financial crisis of three years ago, Dr Muscat raised the issue over St John’s Co-Cathedral. During the controversy over immigration, he defended the actions of a foreign country and while Malta was grappling with the Libyan crisis, Dr Muscat was exchanging e-mails with the RTK journalist.
Dr Gonzi said it was significant how Alfred Sant, with Dr Muscat’s blessing, had delayed Malta’s ratification of the latest EU bailout measures, including the extension of the European financial stability mechanism. But then again, Dr Sant was still frozen in the time when he froze Malta’s application to join the EU. He also reflected the uncertainty which the PL continued to harbour on the EU.
Dr Gonzi said he did not wish, in any way, to diminish the importance of the bus service reform, and that more was needed to achieve what the people expected, but it was a sharp contrast that while the parliament in Malta was debating the bus system last Friday, the Greek parliament was holding a debate on which the very future of Europe hinged.

Joseph always rises to the occasion in bringing across his childish behaviour.
So far, I cannot think of any occasion where he hasn’t ejaculated prematurely.
Wait, wait……ejaculated prematurely? Joseph or Entni? I’m confused…..
Premature? Surely his handling of the Libya business is more a case of delayed, retarded or actual non-ejaculation. I’ve always been a little unhappy about his gait.
Darn it! You just nailed it.
Joseph, on second thoughts, does not walk – he shuffles.
It should make more than just you a wee bit apprehensive about his gait.
God bless our parlament was not discussing issues like the Greek parlament!! Our parlament was discussing the Arriva/Gatt saga.
Like you the Arriva/Gatt issue does not interest me very much becouse I have a second-hand-Japanese Fun Cargo. For thousands of others it does becouse they have to go to work using public transport not Jags
I think that our dear Joseph and his Party should read the following statement:
“The role of politicians is not to protest, but to find answers. I am determined that mainstream politics, and the Labour party in particular, speaks to that crisis and rises to the challenge.”

Between “rising up to the occasion” and “keeping it up” in the house of representatives, I must conclude that they’re selling more than brandy in the parliament bar.
Some have got the male menopause worse than others .
As we say in Maltese, Muscat intends to wait until “il-bajtra taqa’ f’halqu” little caring about the possibility of the sting of a bee hiding inside the ripe fig.
No amount of spinning neither of trying to ridicule will change the end result.
I followed the parliamentary discussion last Friday. It was something that caused me great dipleasure to watch the government side, as they were all really proccupied.
You could tell by their speeches, which were nothing but pleas. You could tell that the Arriva debate seemed more like a Partenza. They sounded like they were telling us goodbye.
We should all accept that Friday’s vote was just a reprieve; there is more to come.
We must not delude ourselves and think that the government side won, because no it did not. It lost and if any proof was needed that the government is hanging by its nails, this was it.
I consider it as useless to keep on hanging there, not knowing when the final blow is about to come.
It is more difficult and dangerous to watch your back than face your enemy.
With friends like Franco, who needs enemies?
I bet anything we are in for another show during the Budget debate, when it comes to the vote for the Ministry for Justice, and most probably also during the debate of the Ministry for Education (responsible for PBS).
