USA 2012 Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich is being sued for unauthorized use of “Eye of the Tiger,” the theme song from “Rocky III.”

I wonder if the Malta Labour Party or whatever they’re called now paid David Guetta & Usher to use the music from “Without You” at the end of the last Labour Conference?

Maybe they did or maybe they think if its “arranged” by one of their “talented” musicians from Wardakanta it becomes fair game. Explains why they’re all out against ACTA!

[Daphne – Well, that’s going to hit the market in Maltese political spoof videos for YouTube.]

Tal-biza… still speaking about the past, with no plans for the future. And earlier last week (on TX, Super One TV) he promised that Malta will have its best cabinet ever with him in government. God save us indeed.

It seems that the PL is a party of hindsight. We have already heard how, with hindsight, it acknowledges that Independence, EU membership and the Euro were decisions with which served us well.

Today the PL also acknowledges that Eddie Fenech Adami was a good leader – contrary to what we were told a few years ago. Anything to attract every last vote. Most probably, in a few years time they will tell us that after all, Gonzi was also a good leader. Pathetic.

Is this the Biography Channel?

If Joseph had an ounce of self respect, he should have realised by now that it’s risky to preempt criticism by calling it scaremongering.

If he really believes they’re the underdogs, and wants to overcome the scepticism, the only thing he should be working on is a sound electoral programme.

Even more so when he hinted at Labour’s propensity to close in on itself and how this created the vicious cycle they’re in.

It does seem, from yesterday’s speech, that he’s still pussyfooting around the old guard, notwithstanding the Pieta’ design language taking over.

We did not get one minute of policy. Just positioning.

Pathetic of Mallia to propose ‘xoghol ghal kulhadd u ahjar’. He lifted that straight out of the PN’s manifesto. Yet he calls the PN ‘finished’.

The man is an embarrassment to our country and also to his children, who I know for a fact are embarrassed by him. About time he grew up, smelt the coffee and shut up!

The smile on AST’s face at 14:13, while Joseph tells his audience about having school lessons in the 80s in homes and planning escape routes in case of police raids, is truly confusing.

Is he smiling because of the good old days or what?

It is quite obvious that he was reading through a prompter, even though he tried hard to hide the fact.

He makes mistakes at various points that show that he has misread the words being shown.

I wonder how Anglu felt when Joseph recounted his experience during the private school debacle. Him being instructed of how to escape over roof tops should the police raid the places where lessons were being held clandestinely at the time.
