In reply to Grezz.

Someone else shares my sentiments about Eddie Fenech Adami’s interview in The Sunday Times today, though he put it too simplistically:

“John Spiteri

Today, 20:54

We do respect grey hairs and we do thank you very much from saving us from the tyranny and hatred of the socialist regeme. But this time you are very wrong. How can one forget those years without water, without electricity. To eat a dish of spaghetti we had to cross over to Ragusa. The Police Headquarters still bear the stigma of a concentration camp of torture and murder.”

And, as expected: “Concluding Dr Muscat said the Pl was welcoming new people and assuring them that they had nothing to fear from the past. He noted what former President Eddie Fenech Adami had said about young people not interested in the past, and said the PL wanted to build a new future where all those who wanted to could participate.” http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20130127/elections-news/procurement-corruption-muscat-asks-who-has-dirtied-his-hands-in-oil.454986

On the contrary, actually, Eddie Fenech Adami – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI2BxaYmNyA

And what about the time when he was a journalist in 1996? Don’t you remember when Joseph Muscat, the journalist, ridiculed Eddie Fenech Adami?

Where are those clips?

Coming soon, I hope!

Who is the gorgeous guy behind Muscat at the very beginning of the video?

[Daphne – No idea. It always surprises me to find how very different a gay man’s definition of ‘gorgeous man’ is to a straight woman’s. The first thing we would notice about him (as I did) is his helicopter ears and that he looks like he spends too much time and effort on grooming (major turn-off).]

The Golden Tablet
When the people saw that Joseph was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Laurence and said, “Come, show us the way forward. As for this fellow Joseph who is forming a new middle class and is promising us the earth, we don’t know what has happened to him.”
Laurence answered them, “Tell me where you want to go and I’ll take you there.” So all the people spoke to Laurence and he listened to them. For thirteen months he listened to them and took note. He took what they told him and made it into an electoral program, fashioning it with a tool and presenting it to the people in the form of a booklet. Then they said, “This is the party you should vote for, Malta, who brought you up out of colonialism and into the EU.”
When Laurence saw this, he went on TV and announced, “We shall be giving tablets to all primary and secondary students and their teachers” So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.
Then Dom said to Joseph, “Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of socialism, coloured light blue and formed into a movement, have become corrupt. They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a tablet. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, This is the party you should vote for, Malta, who brought you up out of colonialism and into the EU.”
“I have seen these people,” the DOM said to Joseph, “and they are a stiff-necked people. Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”
But Joseph sought the favour of Dom. “Dom,” he said, “why should your anger burn against your people, whom you oppressed with great power and a mighty hand, but to whom you gave children allowance? Why should the PN say, ‘It was with evil intent that he brought them il-helsien, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster on your people. Remember your servants Lorry, Karmenu and Leo, to whom you swore by your own self: ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.’” Then Dom relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.
Joseph turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back. The tablets were the work of Dom; the writing was the writing of Dom, engraved on the tablets.
When Louis heard the noise of the people shouting, he said to Joseph, “There is the sound of war in the camp.”
Joseph replied: “It is not the sound of victory, it is not the sound of defeat; it is the sound of singing that I hear.”
Louis replied, “Oh Great Leader, Lawrence has promised them a tablet for all primary and secondary school students and tablets for their teachers. Lawrence has promised them a €1,000 pension fund for every newborn child”. They are going to vote for Lawrence.
When Joseph approached the camp and saw the people dancing and indulging in revelry, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain, saying “Shit. Foiled again”. He stamped his feet, kicked Louis in the shin, buttoned his jacket, stuck out his chin, grabbed Michelle who was dancing with and hugging everybody ghax thobbom, by the arm and exited stage left.
