Maybe Matthew Vella thinks it’s normal behaviour

Hmmm, Malta Today hasn’t mentioned anything at all about the news item of the day: Franco Debono’s Form IIC report.
Perhaps Matthew Vella thinks that if we don’t read about it there, we won’t read about it anywhere.
Or maybe, given that he works in a newsroom full of people with ‘interesting’ personalities, he thinks it’s normal behaviour.

I guess you need to receive your uni diploma in a red dress to show the world your intelligence…
[Daphne – Who did that?]
Tghid mhux Franco.
Consuelo?
Matthew Vella received his diploma in a red dress?!
Now I begin to understand many things.
For a while i’ve been smelling a burning smell in my nose….
[Daphne – Then your nasal hairs must be on fire. Take my advice, put your head in the lavatory bowl, and flush. And when you begin smelling a burning smell with some part of your body other than your nose, let me know, because that really would be news.]
It takes an ego maniac like Franco Debono to say that we are living in an oligarchy. Sometimes I just wonder whether we’ve become too democratic – how else can you explain that ths government has had to suffer this egomaniac’s antics for four years?
His press conference today shows a very confused man. Had common sense to prevail, the President, the Prime Minister, and the Leader of the Opposition would agree that the only way out of this impasse is that Franco Debono is ignored – completely – because his antics are those of a disturbed man, and no disturbed man should hold the country to ransom.
Of course, Joseph Muscat, who can’t wait to become Prime Minister, will refuse to call a spade a spade, and will, instead, support Franco Debono, counting the days when Lawrence Gonzi will have to call it a day.
The way forward is clear: in a few weeks’ time Malta will be governed by a pompous young man, thanks to the antics of another one – who, coincidentally, was in the same class in 1987.
Malta Today did mention though that Dr Eddie Fenech Adami boasted that he came first ‘fil-matrikola’.
Eddie ‘boasted’ once that he came first in the national matriculation exam, to strengthen his argument in favour of education.
And probably that’s why Franco keeps his 1987 report sheet; he wanted to be first in class at least to go up and pick the prize on prize day, like Eddie.
Now we also know that Debono showed his ‘karta tal-incova’ to his prime minister Dr Lawrence Gonzi:

Unbelievable! Pity it’s not on his website.
@BBC
Jump in the shower. Make it quick before it’s too late. Sigh!
Daphne in three months time you be under labour goverment what are you going to do ! emigrate all the time saying against our beloved leader joseph muscat its not fair
[Daphne – Why exactly would I emigrate? And in any case, Maltese people no longer emigrate because they are EU citizens and can move about freely, no thanks to Labour and Joseph Muscat.]
Pawl, are you criticizing this blogger because she is criticizing Matthew Vella?
I ask since Dr Muscat does not feature on this page. It is Matthew Vella of Malta Today who is mentioned here.
And since when is Matthew Vella a Labour Party stalwart?! Perhaps he’s the son of a Labourite (and I stand to be corrected on this). But I am ready to bet my last cent Matthew Vella is not. Or if he is, he is a Labourite of convenience, because a Labour victory is in the air.
Let’s call a spade a spade. Malta Today is merely pretending to be Labourite. In reality it is anti-Gonzi. Being anti-Gonzi does not mean being Labourite.
Labour will win the next election with or without Malta Today.
So let’s stop deluding ourselves.
Matthew Vella and his boss Saviour Balzan are just political weathervanes. (By which I mean this: http://wordsmith.org/words/weathercock.html.) And I dare them to contradict me, these Wise Guys of the Printed Word.
