					<description><![CDATA[Wow I wonder he didn&#039;t try to slide into the Rector&#039;s chair too.  He&#039;s possibly also thinking he deserves to be the next Chief Justice.  Must say, the cardinal-in-waiting had a close shave cause if Franco ever got a whiff of a Maltese cardinal being elected, he&#039;d have worn the collar and gone for it.

After all he&#039;s God&#039;s gift to everyone, why not the Church itself?  

Have you noticed, for example, Franco, that hardly anyone is contesting your ideas?  Were you really that smart you could have persuaded gently not like a tornado stepping on everybody.  Nobody will forgive the arrogant way you treated the Prime Minister.

If you carry on I can assure you the Maltese won&#039;t remember you only for your school report.  You&#039;ll be very famous for a very long time.  Is that the legacy you want to leave your family?

Can I honestly ask you to bow out graciously  -  I have no doubt you will recoup a little of the dignity and respect you have lost.  If being backed by Laburisti is, however, satisfying, then do go on.  

But don&#039;t try to kid anyone that you have any Nationalist sympathisers - except for Musumeci, obviously.]]></description>

Don&#039;t count your chickens (I nearly said &#039;cocks&#039;) too soon.

After failing to be appointed minister, the law department&#039;s next:
