Today, it was Michelle’s turn to weep. Maybe Buttardi aren’t selling enough necklaces.
So first we had Anglu Farrugia overcome by emotion at the Labour annual general conference and unable to carry on without plenty of encouraging applause.
This morning, it was Michelle Muscat’s turn, and she did the full operatic thing, like Eva Peron with an onion in her hankie.
Her husband spoke for half an hour and still managed to say nothing – no indications of policies or direction, nothing – and worked his way up to his crescendo: I WILL SURVIVE.
He called Michelle onto the stage and in a fine piece of ham-acting said: “Michelle, they have attacked us and will carry on attacking us. They have created problems between us and we have overcome those problems. Expect more of this.” She wept and they hugged, then the conference jingle came on.
Heaven help us, because nobody else is going to do it.

Video, please. I would like to witness these priceless moments.
Do I sense panic?
I don’t think Eva Peron would be caught dead in that tragic cardigan.
All these tears. Must be the prelude to forging closer ties with North Korea.
A bunch of comedians, and amateurs – that’s what they are. If they are thinking that these shenanigens are going to earn them our sympathy then they must be even stupider than they look. It would be almost amusing if they weren’t so pathetic.
One hell of a relationship they must have if media reports created “problems between them”.
The show must go on!!

I have heard about the scene, though unfortunately missed it on television today. Could anybody please post a link to the video? I couldn’t find any on YouTube.
Donnu hemm xi nsabilita fiz-zwieg tal-Muscats.
Maybe the missus does not like the idea that her Joey shares the same values as Manwel Mallia”s. (according to the latter , anyway)
Qabbatni l-biki! Jew id-dahk meta nisma b’dawn il-praspar.
Mur ara lil Mintoff f’xena bhal din.
It sounds alot like a trailer of some romantic film, maybe ‘The Titantic’. God have mercy on us.
The Labour Party must have recruited a few consultants from North Korea to perfect their stage managed crying. The MLP was, and probably still is, close to the North Korean dictators.

On a different note, I recommend the book authored by Barbara Oakley – “Evil Genes”. It is disturbing and I can’t stop relating the explanations in the book to the current situation in Malta. Joseph Muscat’s adulation of Mintoff is worth noting.
As the saying goes, history repeats itself.
Dawn bis-serjeta? Skoss teatrini.
Just found the video – http://www.maltastar.com/pages/r1/ms10dart.asp?a=19452
Watch from 35’05 to see the Jackie Kennedy wannabe’s grand entrance, and from roughly 35’48 onwards to see Joseph turning his face when Michelle is about to kiss him.
Madonna! These people really don’t know what’s appropriate and what’s not. I can’t imagine the same behaviour or body language from Lawrence and Kate Gonzi.
Joseph and Michelle Muscat may feel that they’ve come far, but they have still got a lot to learn – though there are some things which money just can’t buy.
“Addressing his wife Michelle, who he said knew all his shortcomings, Dr Muscat said he knew she did not want him to accept to contest the leadership election and he knew how much it hurt when she and their children were attacked.
“When they are a bit older and they watch this I ask them to forgive me for not being there for them and for all they will suffer just because I’m their father,” he told a visibly emotional Mrs Muscat.”
Wasn’t it Joseph Muscat who said – in a newspaper interview, that he will one day show his children WHERE they were conceived, thus shunting them into the public eye himself?
It is not the children who are “attacked”, but their parents, who are criticised for their misjudgement and for their behaviour.

Wow! What a speech.
I think that if Franco Debono needed anything to vote with the government this week, it was precisely that speech.
Nahseb li Sabrina kienet il-kagun tal-inkwiet.
[Daphne – Sabrina lesbijana.]
We already have had an Italian minister and a Maltese minister crying recently.
When Labour is in government, and Joseph is laughing in Castille, all Malta will be crying.
Or perhaps business isn’t too brisk at GWU’s Si Mangia which she runs with Keith Schembri’s wife.
Then she kissed him and wiped the lipstick from his face. How romantic.
Today’s ‘fool of the day’, goes to whoever was responsible for the song that Labour chose to usher in their leader at the Konferenza Generali Laburista. The song was, David Guetta’s “Without You”, and it contains the line “I am vain”. It also has “I can’t win, I can’t reign”. Of course, it fits perfectly with the labour leader – as he is so vain!. These are the lyrics:
I can’t win, I can’t reign
I will never win this game
Without you, without you
I am lost, I am vain,
I will never be the same
Without you, without you
I won’t run, I won’t fly
I will never make it by
Without you, without you
I can’t rest, I can’t fight
All I need is you and I,
Without you, without…. You!
Oh oh oh
You you you
Without
You you you
Without you..
This would have been more appropriate;

ja sahhara tal bidnija halih il joseph u mara ja irsien hazin
Mill-Isla dan, Daphne.
[Daphne – Jew kif nghidu ahna tal-Belt u minn tas-Sliema: dak min-naha l-ohra.]
You can tell mill kelma “irsien”. Ghax dawk jghidu “fir-kaz”
While the Maltese people are starving and can’t pay their utilities bills, Michelle Muscat is busy promoting her Buttardi range. Moreover, the GWU’s travel arm has teamed up with the Orange Group to promote cruises.
Il-partit ta’ l-oxymorons. Jew just morons.
Does Joseph promote Sempretardi by any chance?
Are you sure Michelle wasn’t crying at the poor show her husband gave?
Iva, ehe, bikkejniha lis-Sinjura Muscat, miskina?
U dan kollu ghax nitmejlu bl-ismijiet tat-tfal taghha?
Mela xi jmissa ghamlet Mary Fenech Adami, Alla jahfrilha, meta dahlulha d-dar, tawha xebgha, farrkulha kull m’hemm u werwrulha lit-tfal?
Jaqq x’nies!
