A couple of weeks ago, he vouched that he will never cause the government to fall, now he is threatening just that.

An individual who has a problem and recognises it can be helped and can continue to function.  

An individual who not only does not recognise his problem and moreover denies having one, belongs to a small room with rubber padded walls.]]></description>

He wants to go there, it&#039;s where he had an equal footing with Joseph. 

Lawrence Gonzi is the one spoiling his design, to be removed at all costs. All the technical legalese a show of mental prowess and bravura. 

Scary, makes a good episode of Altered Statesmen.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Showing a school report to the TV cameras does not necessarily indicate a man who has gone crackers. 

It&#039;s more like vanity. 

My oldest son has always been &#039;&#039;il-bravu tal-klassi&#039;&#039;. But I have no wish to invite PBS crew at my house to show off whilst displaying his primary school reports on TV.

I really hate rat races. And can&#039;t stand a mediocre teacher who supports them. 

But, for God&#039;s sake, Franco Debono is not an eleven-year-old. When I saw all those &#039;very goods&#039; and &#039;excellent&#039; and 80s and 90s I said: is this some kind of a sick joke? Is he still considering Il-Ginger as his school rival? O Madonna!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The need for a psychiatrist, sometimes, does not mean that the person is out of his mind. People who suffer from schizoid personality disorder, for example, could be brilliantly intelligent and know perfectly well what they are doing.   

It&#039;s not enough to say X needs a psychiatrist and therefore he has to shut up. What is the diagnosis? What type of personality disorder are we speaking about? ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Many people with narcissistic personality disorder aim for high positions and get them because they are charming and can be very intelligent but they lack empathy, affect and foresight since their need to be perceived as superheroes take over rational thought.

Franco Debono thinks that showing a Form II school report to the TV cameras proves that he&#039;s not in need of help. It proves the opposite.

It&#039;s nearly three decades old and qualifies as a historical document - the one that proved Franco&#039;s nuts.

Someone commented on this blog that Debono showed his report to Eddie Fenech Adami and had a moan about Joseph Muscat overtaking him when he had such a good report.

Now it&#039;s been transformed into The Certificate That Shows I Do Not Need A Psychiatrist.

There&#039;s a movie in this somewhere, but I won&#039;t be paying to see it.]]></description>

It looks well worn. He must examine it obsessively every night.

So the prat ranks a form II report above everything else he&#039;s done since he was 12?

He&#039;s even more cracked than I&#039;d thought.]]></description>
