And now, it’s Franco…

And now…a kollegament telefoniku ma’ Franco Debono.

What a shameless show.

Is this really how Super One plans to win more votes for Labour? Somebody please tell them about the effective virtues of subtlety, intelligence and humour, and how the absence of even one of these – let alone all three – can have an adverse affect on your goals.

If even Super One and Joe Grima haven’t worked out that Franco Debono is long past his amuse-by date, how can we expect Franco himself to know it?

That front-page story on The Times today….just unbelievable.

DEBONO: “I SHOULD BE SPECIAL DELEGATE”

He thinks he should have been picked by the prime minister as his special delegate to report on the concerns of the electorate – you know, instead of Simon Busuttil, who he respects enormously as he respects all those he is about to attack, and who is part of the oligarchy.

He’s self-deluding enough to believe it, and stupid enough to say it.

    Aren’t they going to phone Mugliett?

    [Daphne – He must be feeling really left out, miskin. Maybe he’s watching, with Robert Musumeci and that other Fat Controller, the one in a (short) skirt.]

    I can.
    I am.
    I must.
    I will.
    I might.
    I Franco.

        Franco’s Old Spice: Did you know I’m riding this high horse backwards?

      • ciccio says:

        That’s the right way to ride a high horse. Like that, when your horse dumps its sh*t on the road, you have no excuse to leave it behind.

        F’hajti kollha qatt ma fall8
        Imm’ issai lura ghal grade8.

        Ministru ridt insir minnufih
        Imma Gonzi tilef il-muftieh,
        Bieb inghalaq quddiem wicci,
        U hallewni b’wicc imbikki.

        Ara mummy, x’wahda din,
        avolja kif ghidtli, dhalt fin, fin
        imma bhal gurdien go nassa,
        spiccajt mibghud mill-massa.

        Futur m’ghadx baqali,
        ghax kliemi qalu huma banali.
        Ma nafx fejn inserrah rasi,
        rokna nfittex b’zewg fanali.

        Haqq is-siegha w l-mument,
        sahha ‘l-holma ta monument,
        Hadd ma jrid jidher mieghi,
        u din kollha htija tieghi!

        Thanks for the opening lines, ciccio

        Oh, that’s Gr8, Angus.

        What is it with this country and its love affair with nerds in politics? Where did it all go wrong between Hagar Qim and now?

      • ciccio says:

        Baxxter, humbly, I’d say, that what went wrong between Hagar Qim and now is that nothing has changed in the minds of some people.

        I reckon that bloke from Tarsus has something to do with it.

      You could sell T-shirts with that on the seafront buddy!

    What a farce.

    Joe Grima must be the only one who’s happy to receive nuisance calls from Franco Debono.

  4. Dee says:

    Franco Debono is ALREADY a special delegate: Labour’s.

  5. Angus Black says:

    Franco wants a clause inserted in the Constitution requiring a minister to resign if a motion of no confidence in his regard, is passed. When told that it is the norm and in such a case the minister resigns, he remarked that such matters should be ‘in writing’.

    Excellent idea, but Franco should go one wee bit further and also, asks that, in writing, an elected MP should give the Speaker, his pledge that having been elected under one particular Party’s banner, he will remain faithful to the Party for the full term of the legislation.

    The pledge is given to the Speaker of the House, not Party leader, just in case some MP declares that he cannot or will not work with his Boss, changes his mind sometime along the term, and holds the country hostage to his (or her) warped motives.

    And to refine it further and to balance out when a minister should tender his resignation, how about getting MPs to resign their seat, the moment they declare that they can no longer support the government (or Party in Opposition)?

    What is good for the goose is good for the fighting cock, methinks!
