So now they’re Musketeers

Published: June 20, 2012 at 8:11pm

Luciano Busuttil, a man not even fit clean Richard Cachia Caruana’s boots (which is part of the problem, I suspect), has been busy tweeting today:

Cardinal Richelieu has found his match in the 4 Musketeers!

God, what a childish idiot. To think that it is in the hands of such individuals, with too many grudges and too few brain-cells and principles, that such a decision has been placed, and with such serious consequences.

Which Musketeer does Luciano think he is?

Athos- He seems immune to romantic feeling, though we learn late in the novel that this hasn’t always been the case. He becomes a father figure to D’Artagnan.

Aramis- A deeply religious younger Musketeer.

Porthos- A dandy, fond of fashionable clothes.

D’Artagnan – He is not one of the “Three Musketeers” in the sense that although he is in fact a musketeer, he is attached to des Essarts’ company instead of de Treville’s. The novel is about him becoming one of the musketeers.

Funny, but there’s no Musketeer who grouches about the cost of driving his children to Chiswick House School every morning, while tweeting and Facebooking and grilling his barbecue sausages.

What a prat.

    A bad PN is still far far better than a good Labour Party.

    I don’t see any Musketeer who presided over a major cock-up in the housing department when he was Parliamentary Secretary in Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici’s office. So which one would Leo Brincat be?

    If Luciano Busuttil thinks that Richard Cachia Caruana is finished, he is greatly mistaken. Richard will come out of this stronger than ever. Let us hope that Luciano will be the person responsible for European Affairs in Muscat’s government. Surely, we will be monitoring his successes.

    Luciano Busuttil ought better return to reading the news bulletins as he did when he started out on Super 1 TV, where he belongs.

    must say that one of the prompts under the tweet is very apt:

    COLLAPSE (!)

    Exactly, Harry Purdie. The thought only crossed my mind later.

    The problem is that this idiot is being mentioned as next EU Minister. I can just imagine him during a council meeting understanding jack shit
