Frankie Tabone is confused
I wondered briefly what Frankie Tabone was going to say about Judge Pace’s prosecution, and soon found out via Maltastar.
He wants to know why there have been three judges prosecuted for corruption in the last 25 years, but no ministers. Maybe it’s because no minister has taken a bribe from a drug dealer, Frankie?
Frankie Tabone thinks it’s because ministers don’t get their phones tapped like judges do, and so they don’t get caught through intercepted phone calls, like Noel Arrigo, Patrick Vella and Ray Pace.
Isn’t Frankie meant to be some kind of criminal lawyer? Then he should know that you don’t have to tap both lines to get both sides of a conversation. You need only tap the one.
It’s known criminals undergoing investigation who have their phones tapped, not judges. The judges get caught when they speak over the phone to a criminal whose line is tapped.
The police might then seek authorisation to have the judge’s phone tapped too for further investigation and to see whether he is involved in other areas of criminality.
I told you Frankie Tabone is not exactly bright, but some of you didn’t believe me.

Err, that’s not exactly right if I may add. Some years back, we had an Ex President of Malta, having a complete, ahem, ‘lapsus’ when he acknowledged a Presidential Pardon to a South American drug baron.
[Daphne – ?]
A useful idiot.
Maybe Frankie Tabone forgot his real last name?
Did Frankie Tabone expected to be appointed as defence lawyer?
Imagine for a moment what Frankie Tabone would have done if he WAS a Minister and his phone – the one which rings even when its turned off – was tapped.

This Frankie Tabone thing is plain stupid. Grow up.
[Daphne – Actually, it’s pretty good, even though I say so myself. I really don’t mind if you don’t share my sense of humour. There are times when I don’t share other people’s. It’s also fairly accurate. I was speaking the other day to somebody who’s forgotten who Jeffrey is, already. And yes, she literally did look at me with bewilderment and say, ‘Min hu Jeffrey Pullicino?’]
“Frankie ta’ min?”
I stand to be corrected, but i am more than surprised that so far the P.N. National Executive has not taken the initiative to expel Frankie Tabone from the party.
Likewise the Office of the Prime Minister has failed to remove the bastard from Parliamentary Assistant in the same Office. Mhux bizejjed li baqa jithallas minghajr qatt ma qeda dmiru?
So being kind of fond of numbers, it occurred to me, at this late and pretty pointless stage, to check how many votes Fun Time Frankie actually got in 2008. And compare. You know, him being a star and all.
It turns out that of all the elected candidates, only six got less votes than he did. 4 for the MLP, 2 for the PN.
Unlike Frankie, all of these 6 MP’s stood in only one district.
Unlike Frankie, all of these 6 MP’s stood in a district where a party stalwart was standing. (Luciano Busuttil, Jose Herrera and Chris Cardona with Alfred Sant, Roderick Galdes with Marie Louise Coleiro, Beppe Fenech Adami with Tonio Fenech and Frederick Azzopardi with Giovanna Debono)
So, even forgetting their handicaps, we see, going through the counts, the only candidate to inherit votes at a slower rate than him was Luciano Busuttil.
So electorally speaking, Frankie is only a star pupil in comparison to a handicapped Luciano Busuttil. Really not a comparison I’d want to be part of……..
