					<description><![CDATA[&quot;He is not the vici-kap of my party, thank God&quot; she says.  You&#039;re right Marlene because the vici-kapijiet (ah no, you call them &quot;deputati mexxejja&quot;) of your party are so erudite, so classy, so smart and so hot that they leave us all breathless. I would prefer a 14-year old to Anglu Farrugia anytime. A three-year old would be more apt at leading (from the second-in-command position) the PL than the present clowns.

					<description><![CDATA[Daphne I truly cannot understand why you talk in such a manner when you are the very first person to call people names, and its not as though she called him something mean. 

Sorry but I personally think that if Dr. Busuttil actually believes that there is even the slighest chance of the PN to reconcile ... Than yes he is a boy (and have a look at the context in which she used) , because anyone who has enough common sense can notice that the Party if falling apart, Franco who states he is going to vote against, JPO who resgins from within the PN, Members of Parliament not appearing in parliament because there is no trust in their leader above all. 

Daphne, stop commenting on petty stuff, talk about the main issues that are really and truly effecting the Maltese... let me tive you some ideas in just in case... the budget, the vote that is to be taken in Parliament, the political instabilty that the Nationalist Party caused and not spending your time spying on other people&#039;s facebook. I understand that your job is to criticise what you think is wrong, but talk about the things that really matter to the people.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - There is a time and place for everything, and I&#039;ll thank you not to tell me how to do my job. And if that, to you, signifies arrogance, then so be it. I am not a politician, am not asking you for your vote, and hence I am free to be as plain-speaking as I please. The petty stuff is the big stuff. It tells you the stuff of which those who are asking for our vote are truly made. The devil, as they say, is almost always in the detail.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Nobody votes PN &#039;with a heavy heart&#039;.  One either votes PN because he is convinced that it is the Party with principles and with better policies or votes Labour no matter what.

It seems that it is in Maltese&#039; DNA that no matter what, no matter who, the first job is to find every little disagreeable trait to tear a person apart.  We have still to learn to give a new person time to settle down in his new role.

Simon comes with at least an 8 year record as MEP who delivered sterling service at the EP, was in charge of various committees and spearheaded a number of projects.

Will he step on a few toes? I hope so. Will he please everybody? I doubt it, but give him a chance and I am sure that many &#039;heavy hearts&#039; will be elated by his overall performance as Deputy Leader and as Leader when the time comes. 

One thing going for him from day one - Franco Debono will not be in his hair.]]></description>

Eddy, int u Franco ghandkom l-istess mentalita. Illuzjoni spjetata, stupidita, w arroganza bla qies.
Tahseb int li Dr Gonzi &#039;ittrikkja&#039; lill-Tonio biex jikkontesta? Tahseb int li Tonio, il-Ministru tal-Finanzi li rnexxielu jzomm Malta il-boghod mill-inkwiet finanzjarju dawn l-ahhar snin, ma kienx kapaci jinduna bit-&#039;trikk&#039; ta Gonzi?  Min hsibtu Tonio, xi Karmenu li anqas jiftakar x&#039;qal hames minuti qabel?
U x&#039;ha taghmlu jekk titilfu l-elezzjoni li gejja w li kulhadd ir-rebha ghamilha fatta bhal ma ghamiltu fit-2003 u 2008?  Se ttajru ras Gowzef? Jew terghu taghmlu bhal ma ghamiltu lill-Sant li wara li rrezenja mortu tibkulu biex jibqa il-mexxej tal-Partit, u rega tilef? F&#039;min ha twahhlu did-darba?
Jaghmel x&#039;jaghmel Franco Debono, ma jimporta xejn ghax elezzjoni kienet se ssir. Ftit gimghat l-hawn u ftit gimghat l-hemm, il-mandat ikun fi tmiemu w definittivament wisq itwal minn 22 xahar.
Mill banda l-ohra Franco jisparixxa, jintnesa hlief fl-istorja politika qasira tieghu li tispicca b&#039;misthija. Wahda ta tradiment lejn il-Partit li tah cans u dan ic-cans li kellu sparpaljah fix-xejn. Dak li zera jahsad. Zera l-hurrieq u jahsad ix-xewk.]]></description>
