The past and future foreign minister’s fascination with other men’s golden balls

Published: July 9, 2012 at 10:00am

Why do some politicians insist on using Facebook when they haven’t a clue about social media? We’ve had Anglu Farrugia succumbing to the admiring comments of south-east Asian honey-pots, Luciano Busuttil fiercely defending the racist Facebook group he joined, and very many embarrassments like this one, in which figures like our past and future foreign minister don’t understand that when they read something, their Facebook wall tells everyone about it.

This is the equivalent of watching a porn film in your hotel room, and having the fact flash up on a big screen down in the lobby below.

David Beckham’s golden balls, Dr Vella? Really?

    I hope that, at least, the article made him smile. He always looks so stressed and angry.

      I doubt it; he’s always like that.

      Imagine seeing him as your family doctor. His bedside manner is appalling.

        He was one of Airmalta’s doctors back in the 80s. U ara ma tkunx xi Nazzjonalist u tkun id-dar sick leave ghax jigi ghalik u jarma jghajrek hallieh, addio il-103 deni u c=certificat tat-tabib tieghek.

    Imagine the ad campaign the PN could launch during the next election, using just a few choice snippets from the Facebook pages of Joey’s past and future ministers. Prim Ministru żagħżugħ u kabinett mimli basal u ġdur.

    If there is a Mrs. George Vella, I wonder what she thinks of her husband’s choice of article.
