The political suicide of a contemptible blackguard

Published: February 13, 2013 at 6:14pm

Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando has been reduced to giving testimonials for Labour MP Owen Bonnici – a man for whom, presumably, he will not even be voting himself given that he has said he won’t be voting at all.

There’s a special place in the outer circle of hell reserved for cheap and tawdry blackguards, but before going there they earn the contempt of all right-thinking people and the respect of subliterate Facebook scum, when what they desperately want is the reverse.

There are few sights as painful as that of a man with a weak and fragile ego, masked by venomous rage and consuming resentment, turned into a woman’s tool, destroying himself pointlessly to her advantage.

He isn’t the first and he won’t be the last. Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando’s story is defined by its banal ordinariness. He is not a tragic figure but a pathetic one. And I use neither word as it would be understood on a Facebook wall.

As a sidenote, his face is taking on, increasingly, the puffy slit-eyed look of the dedicated drinker. It’s time to cut down on the Earl Grey. The devils of regret that confound the soul are not best pacified by copious amounts of…tea.

cheap blackguard

    The enlarged photo still shows JPO clearly reading from a script.

    Mela mhux bhalek, JPO! Ghax int under pressure tispicca tinfaqa tibki.

    Are his complexion and the colour scheme intentionally the same?

    Regarding the ‘reservations’ in (Dante’s, I presume) hell.

    Unless I am grossly mistaken, the worst punishment there – in the lowest circle, in fact – is reserved for TRAITORS.

    He placed the worst three, i.e. Judas, Brutus, and Cassius, in the mouths of a three-headed monster standing up to his midriff in a lake of ice.

    In l-Orizzont today:

    “Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando skantat u xxukkjat kif il-Prim Ministru ħareġ għonqu għall-Ministru Gatt”

    Lanqas jistħi jattakka l-Prim Ministru Gonzi li fl-elezzjoni li għaddiet ħareġ tant għonqu għal Jeffrey!

    U issa dawk li għajruh ‘korrott’ u kitbu ktieb fuqu qed iġibu l-endorsements tiegħu.

    The most hated candidate 5 years ago endorsing a Labour candidate. Wonder what Alfred Sant has to say about this!

  7. H.P. Baxxter says:

    I see botox. I see bourbon (because he’s that cheap). But I don’t see integrity. This man shames the chair he occupies.

    He looks like a typical alcoholic Irishman.

    Where was that pic taken?
    At an AA get together?

    If Owen Bonnici is using this “man” for a testimonial, he must be having a really hard time finding someone with a little credibility.
