Does Joseph have as many teleprompters as Michelle has handbags?

Here’s Joseph again, with another kind of teleprompter. And here he isn’t addressing the crowd on Labour Day, just a routine sort of meeting indoors.
And still he can’t do it off the cuff or improvise with a note or two.
Mur gib il-Fenech Adami b’xi teleprompter fuq il-Fosos, jew Lawrence Gonzi ghal daqstant.
Or, to cite his hero instead: mur gib il-Mintoff jaqra lis-speeches minn fuq magna.
Joseph, you are so damned pathetic.

What is it used for, Daphne? Thanks.
[Daphne – The text of the speech scrolls down the screen and he reads it. The foot-pedal allows him to slow it down, speed it up, or stop it so that he can catch up with his own speech. Basically, it’s the same thing as taking along a print-out of your speech and reading it aloud, except that a teleprompter allows you to pretend to your audience that you’re not reading.]

Daphne, even Barack Obama uses a teleprompter.
[Daphne – Yes, and even he is mocked for doing so. Read the name of the link you just posted here, if you can’t be bothered to read the story.]
“If you use it now, you’re like Obama,” Davis said. “It’s a negative because it’s a sign of inauthenticity. It’s a sign that you can’t speak on your own two feet. It’s a sign that you have handlers behind you telling you what to say.”
And the audience may pretend that they are listening.
Is is the same thing used also by newscasters?
Can’t wait for something like this…. :-)

Would love to see that, but won’t happen. He’s a slow reader/thinker. Plus no big words are allowed and the scrolling is close to those of the Dead Sea.
Are you sure all those handbags are Michelle’s? Little Joey has a certain air about him which gives me the impression that–well, you can guess.
Harry, are you suggesting that the teleprompters belong to Michelle?
Little Joey is into handbags because he has that certain air about him, let me enlighten your ignorant homophobic reasoning.
Gay guys are not into handbags; they’re into other guys.
Speaking from experience, I assume.
When he is prime minister, his teleprompters will be Alex Sceberas Trigona, George Vella, Joe Debono Grech, Yana Mintoff, Il-Guy etc. etc. Veru tifel jahasra.
Truly pathetic . And what’s that girl doing on panel ?

$11,495.00 – (€8,791.59).
This looks very similar to the box in the picture. Incredible they can afford to buy these things when they claim everyone is on the breadline.
There is the “door to door” donations “jaghmlu tajjeb”:
Heqq, fejn ma jwassalx il-mohh, l-elettroniks jaghmlu tajjeb.
L-aqwa l-isfond blu.
Nahseb Varist qed jiktiblu x’jghid minn fuq il-laptop, biex taf int jimmprovizza.
Not bad to see Labour improving its presentation, but hey it’s time to know whether this sophistication can translate into a decent electoral programme and meaningful economic proposals as an alternative government. We have a right to know.
The media are not putting enough pressure on Joseph Muscat on this matter and is instead giving too much attention to destabilising motions in parliament and a subversive behaviour by some useless parliamentarians.
Maybe he’s training for a big event, you know, like hosting the night of the Oscars.
Joseph Muscat is not an orator. The Labour Party know it and they are doing everything to improve his image.
I am sure they will even try to pre-record his speeches in mass meetings.
Not that it matters, but I think it is the same teleprompter as in the Labour Day picture. At least I see no reason to believe it is a different one. I have noticed it quite a few other times before as well.
‘l-ispeeches’
Now we know why he won’t uncover his cunning plans: he doesn’t have a clue what’s going on.
It’s all very cushy in opposition, blabbing wish lists to the press, something else when the decisions become the prerogative. How, in the name of all that is decent in this land, does he expect to con us for a full term?
Does he realise that Malta, accustomed to experienced leaders with a track record, won’t go back on what to expect of a PM? It happened in 1996, albeit for diametrically opposed reasons, it will happen again.
Let’s see him answering questions without any backup first.

The cheek of this guy. I wonder if his Catholic neighbours in Gozo know that he’s a retired RUPC officer, living in Gozo full time and trying to pretend he’s writing from Northern Ireland.
I wonder if they know he worked for an organisation which spent its history closing a blind eye to murder of and enforcing discrimination against Catholics in Northern Ireland.
I wonder if his Catholic Gozitan neighbours really know what he thinks of them. Not content with fomenting and re-enforcing sectarian strife in his home country he wants to do the same here.
He’d have been at home in Lawrence Pullicino’s police force in the eighties, wouldn’t he.
[Daphne – If he responds, it will be as Beowulf. He’s forever glued to this blog.]
Una scimmia ammaestrata! Ma resta una scimmia!
“Mur gib LIL Fenech Adami…” not “Mur gib il-Fenech Adami…”.
[Daphne – Wrong, Kevin.]
No, Daphne, YOU are wrong. ‘Lil’ has no article in this case.
Tajt sold lil Johnny. Kellimt lill-poplu. Mur gib ‘il Eddie.
Tmerix meta ma tafx ghax taqa’ ghan nejk aktar milli ga qed taqa’.
[Daphne – OK, Kevin.]
Are you serious about this?
I see more wires around than brains.
The teleprompter is too visible and gives the game away. Couldn’t Kurt Farrugia stand inside the podium and whisper the lines instead?
Once more, note the blue backdrop and blue tie. Who is he kidding anyway?
He is just a Mintoffjan, now accompanied by a Mintoff Yana, camouflaged as a Christian Democrat.
Just wait till he becomes Prime Minister; and suddenly all colour emphasis will become as red as the prevalent colour at their May day celebrations.
No wonder he needs teleprompters – his impromtu speeches are a disaster, and when pressed for an answer, he usually ends up in a ‘no comment’.
And when he becomes Prime Minister, forget about the Moviment Progressiv u Moderat. It will be back to the Partit Laburista and the selfish interests of the party, as the fighting with the other parts of what he claims to be his movement starts.
He will then hide behind the excuse of the “national interest” and “public interest” to commit the same atrocities of the Golden Years.
All references to the Moviment will become references to “Gvern Gdid Laburista tal-Izghar Prim Ministru ta’ Malta mil-Indipendenza, r-Repubblika u d-dhul ta’ Malta fl-Ewropa, fl-Ewro u fil-Partnership for Peace.”
The truth is, of course, that from the day he enters Castille, he will be the youngest Prime Minister “mid-Dhul ta’ Malta gol-Hajt.”
Always keep in mind that he only has to appeal to the literally handful of floating voters to get his nose in the trough.
That is the sad reality.
Teleprompters, even if not switched on!!!, give the appearance of someone who is professional.
