I know that. Does &#039;doppelganger&#039; sound better? Birds of a very same feather? Identical mindset? 

Indeed, she&#039;s your alter ego. 

Assuming it&#039;s a she, of course. At times I sense the vibes of an insecure male dressed up as a... well, La Redoute. So grandiose it&#039;s grotesque.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - You make the mistake of thinking that everyone who writes idiomatic English, punctuates and thinks clearly is me. I suppose I should feel flattered, but strangely, I do not.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Pretty lame debating skills there, Daphne. But then you wouldn&#039;t really be Daphne, would you?

I replied to your alter ego, La Redoute, further down. That should settle it. If not, climb a high turret with a pair of binoculars.

Actually, no one implicated de Marco in the attempted murder per se. That was the PN&#039;s spin on Labour&#039;s spin.

But did you listen to the whole audio or are you shooting from the hip as usual? 

RCC says he has NO DOUBT that what happened was a consequence of a comment that de Marco made to Col. Maurice Calleja: http://youtu.be/0okk0cG0Hxs (it&#039;s at the very end).

So, do get your heads straight, because to people who investigate rationally you lot look like a bunch of competing twerps.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The exact words used by One TV were as follows:

&quot;One svela li Richard Cachia Caruana semmgha zewg ministri li kellhom x&#039;jaqsmu mal- attentat ta&#039; qtil fuqhu....&quot;

&quot;Iz-zewg ministri implikati huma  Lawrence Gatt and ex president  Guido De Marco.....&quot;

&quot;One news semmgha lil Richard Cachia Caruana innifsu jimplika lil- Lawrence Gatt ta l-attentat fuqhu.&quot;

The words were clear and &quot;jimplika&quot; means &quot;involvement in a crime&quot; or &quot; bearing reponsibility for a crime&quot;.

This telephone conversation was highly emotional provoked by an attempt on Richard Cachia Caruan&#039;s life. One has to get the whole picture and analyse this conversation in its context. 

Richard Cachia Caruana was backstabbed twice: physically in Mdina and then by Giannella Caruana Curran (de Marco) who was Meinrad Calleja&#039;s defence lawyer before she was persuaded to drop the brief and her former partner Manuel Mallia took it over. 

Although Dr Caruana Curran (de Marco) has a right to defend anyone she pleases, it was odd as this case was politically motivated and her father was deputy prime minister and a personal friend of Brigadier Calleja, besides being himself Meinrad Calleja&#039;s former defence lawyer.

Richard Cachia Caruana was not responsible for Brigadier Calleja&#039;s resignation. Richard Cachia Caruana  was the secretary of the prime minister and the deputy prime minister was Giannella de Marco’s father. 

If  I were Giannella de Marco I would have refused to defend Meinrad Calleja, if not out of basic common decency then at least out of sound political sense. It would have been the least she could do to acknowledge Mr Cachia Caruana&#039;s emotional hardship.]]></description>

Kevvy, getting it wrong as usual.

Nothing in that recording shows that Guido de Marco was implicated - or don&#039;t you know the meaning of the word?

You&#039;ve picked up Super One&#039;s inept interpretation - no surprises there - that Cachia Caruana said Guido de Marco had an active role in orchestrating the murder attempt when he clearly said no such thing.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I do not see what political advantage Labour could have taken out of this episode. 

There were all the ingredients to turn people angry from this event. Dr. De Marco is highly respected on both sides of the political divide, making this attempt a complete suicide. 

After so many years in opposition, PL haven&#039;t learnt anything. They need not say anything to get in power. 

If they show some fundamental respect and morals without slandering third parties (let alone a highly respected x president who is deceased) they would automatically get in power. 

The more they speak with elections getting closer the more they distance themselves from the people. But after all these are the true colours of a party which needs a much bigger change than the PN. 

The Moviment Bla Isem reminds me of the German football team of the past 30 years. They always start an international competition so well organised and play so well but when they get to the final places they always lose, sometimes even against a team which the odds would have been given as losers.]]></description>
