More star quality: Gino ‘mukk te u Fejsbuk’ Cauchi

Published: November 8, 2012 at 7:50pm

What can I say?

I have the most sickening feeling that within weeks of Joseph Muscat appointing his ministers, we’re going to be howling for the current dull and boring incumbents to come back because all is forgiven.

Dull and boring they might be, but I really can’t imagine any one of them posting something like this on his Facebook wall, still less spending a morning with a mug of tea and Facebook.

Gino Cauchi, 45, is tagged as one of Joseph’s stars and a dead cert for a ministerial portfolio.

X’imbarazz. Tad-disperazzjoni.

Gino Cauchi
October 27
Nitlaq billi niddikjara li xarabank ma rajtux il bierah ghax kont ghadni fuq l-istage nistenna l-Arriva…… Imma dalghodu hadt pjacir, mug te u naqra l-posts fuq facebook dwar xanarabnk, peppi, alan bates u l-ippnotizzar. Kummenti ironici, sarkastici, imma fuq kollox xhieda ta dak li ghandna fil pajjiz. L-ahjar tnejn fl-oppinjoni tieghi kienu li bates ser jiltaqa’ ma’ Gonzi biex inehhilu l-phobia ghal vot fil- parlament u l-ohra li ser ilaqqghu lil Bates ma Franco biex igieghlu jivvota favur il-budget. That’s the spirit. AHJAR NIDHKU MILLI NIBKU. Il-jum it-tajjeb lil kulhadd.

    He is currently on TVM talking about The Brazilian Company. His knowledge of financial services is close to zero, yet he acts like he is an expert.

    If he is going to be one of our ministers in a couple of months, may God have mercy on us.

    • Jozef says:

      This thing they have with financial services is rather worrying actually.

      Gavin Gulia said the sector needs to share its profits, ‘trickle down’ into the real economy, then there’s Evarist Bartolo pontificating about private banks, again their profits to be trimmed to reasonable levels.

      I know I’ve already made similar observations, however, if Gino Cauchi, Edward Scicluna and Charles Mangion are the ones who have a say, it’s imperative Joseph declare where he stands.

      Before any more damage is made, if it means he has to publicly shut them up, better. We can’t have these fossils meandering into territory where their ideology turns the sector into some collective enemy.

      It’s quite ridiculous having a leader teasing us about his magic bills, what I don’t doubt is what they think of finance and banking, the cash cow.

    • A Zammit says:

      That’s Labour for you, qalbi.

    • Who was it who had told the U.S. ambassador, that he had very limited material from where to choose his cabinet ? Was it Lawrence Gonzi, by any chance ?

  2. Richard Borg says:

    U iwa, he’s no Nadine Dorries so don’t get too excited about him causing too much of a stir when he’s an MP.

    “It was Muscat’s classroom rival Franco Debono who scored the highest marks in a host of subjects and who walked off with several prizes every year. Muscat lagged behind because he lacks – even as we can observe today – the tenacity and single-mindedness which Debono, for better or worse, demonstrates on a regular basis.”

    Your judgement can be somewhat off.

    [Daphne – Unfortunately, you are yet another one who is not a native English speaker and so misses the subtleties of the written (and spoken) word, or the inbuilt dryness. You and others, including Debono himself who speaks English as a third language, have taken those to be words of admiration. They are not. They are a dry observation of fact. Franco Debono is tenacious and single-minded. But those are not admirable qualities in him. That is no judgement, but accurate observation. Is he tenacious? Yes. Is he single-minded? Yes. Is he admirable? No.]

    Why don’t Gino Cauchi and Konrad Mizzi give a helping hand with the Labour internet rag, Maltastar.

    “The Minister Tonio Fenech statement to respond to the Labour Party confirmed that it is the Government’s intention to re-raise the bills after the general election. The European Commission spoke on oil prices. It also condemns the wrong choice of BWSC power station that works with oil. The Labour Party will reduce the electricity bills in a sustainable way, by changing GonziPN’s bad decisions taken in this area.”

    “In its report, the European Commission also states that the rate of cost of living will continue to rise, the debt will increase, decreased investment and economic growth targets are met with unexpected meeting.”

    Biss pero…..Biss pero….it`s the guy`s pause in every sentence he utters.

    Vera buffu. Miskin.

    Without any shadow of doubt.

    Gino Cauchi.

    Material for one of the great offices of state.

    Gino – opinjoni ghanda . Possibbli int tmur l-istudjo tat=TVM bil karozza tal-linja? il partit ghadu ma takx karozza?Ipnotizza ghanda ‘p’wahda ukoll bhal opinjoni.

  8. Anthony Briffa says:

    This prospective minister cannot distinguish between a bus stop and a fare stage stop.

  9. Johannes says:

    If these are the musings of one of our future ministers, we are truly reaching the nadir of mediocrity.

    The paucity of thought, expression and intellect, as well as his feeble attempt at wit and humour just display the lack of anything happening in the brain department.

    It’s embarrassing.

  10. nobody says:

    Since when is it so unfortunate that someone is not a native English speaker?

    I think it just boils down to intelligence, irrespective of the native language.

    [Daphne – Of course it’s unfortunate. It’s a great disadvantage.]

  11. Edward Caruana Galizia says:

    “I have the most sickening feeling that within weeks of Joseph Muscat appointing his ministers, we’re going to be howling for the current dull and boring incumbents to come back because all is forgiven”

    It is my understanding that too many people within the PL believe they will be made Ministers. So when Dr Muscat appoints his ministers , there are going to be many disappointed people in the PL. Unless they decide to do the unimaginable and invent things like the Minister Tas-Sawt.

    You think Franco Debono is bad? Can you imagine Luciano Busutill, for example, being dragged out of the PL headquarters kicking and screaming?

    A few months after that, we’ll probably have another election because the PL would have fallen to bits.

    • Tania says:

      If only, but they will hold on forever this time.

      They have waited too long to be in power and they will not let anyone or anything bring them down this time around.

      It will be 1981 all over again and make no mistake about it.

      It would be bad enough to have Labour mess everything up for five years but I fear they will once again refuse to let go.

      Why should they behave any different when the same people are involved and worse, even the younger ones have the same mentality?

  12. Village says:

    it’s not Gino Cauchi but ‘ biss pero’ ‘.

    This figure of speech is used by this guy ad nauseam.

    Re conducting ‘politics’ on Facebook, here’s a quote from Bill Maher:

    “Apparently Sarah Palin quit her job as Governor of Alaska to spend more time on Facebook. I’m serious. She’s on Facebook every day now. Because this is the proper forum to confront the President of the United States on the most important issue of our day, a social networking site for teenagers.”

  16. Francis Saliba says:

    It is no wonder that since the early days of the MLP Mintoff complained that although, cap in hand, he could acquire some money yet he could never attract foreign companies to invest in Malta.

    The LP is flaunting prospective ministers with the same mentality, who will fare worse and who will bring about loss of jobs and pleas for the early return of the NP.

  17. PG says:

    That sardonic smile on his face is unbearable. Tad-daqqiet ta’ harta. I appeal to the ‘change’ advocates to think twice before helping to place this stupid and cocky man, touted as a future media minister, at the helm.

  18. JPS says:

    Is he sitting on something exciting? He has this particular look on his face, something between a smirk and an uncomfortable yet pleasurable kind of look.
