Who moved my podium?

Here’s a nice shot of Joseph Muscat’s fat minder, Glen Bedingfield, keeping Lou Bondi safely back at one of those press-pack situations that Muscat finds hard to handle.

    Toni Abela had it today. Affarijiet tal-partit.

  2. H.P. Baxxter says:

    Muscat shouldn’t wear jackets with structured shoulders.

    • Harry Purdie says:

      He borrowed them from the Baltimore Ravens’s quarterback, Super Bowl winners,

      Also wore his jock strap, Too bad that it hadn’t been washed. Got a bad rash.

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        Bondì looks like one of those dissident Iranian poets. You know, the one who won a Pulitzer, was forced to flee his country, and now lives incognito in New York, pensively strolling through Central Park. And what’s Kevin Bacon doing behind Bedingfield?

      • ciccio says:

        Kevin Bacon is probably a cameraman of Net TV. Badinkfield was probably instructed to squeeze in between Bondi and Bacon and slowly push them out and away from the Great Leader.

      • H.P. Baxxter says:

        In other words, Bedingfield was giving Bondì a wedgie. Interesting development, Watson.

      • john says:

        ‘jimporta’ croaked Lou Bondi, as Badingfield’s bulk crushed him against Goldilocks.

      • ciccio says:

        Who exactly is that Goldilocks? Are we sure he’s not Alfred Sant without his wig and with his remaining hair shaved?

  3. Karl says:

    He stands behind a podium in order to give the message to journalists that he is superior, and also he uses it as a type of protection or defence because of his insecurities when speaking with journalists.

    • La Redoute says:

      That makes me wonder how he plans to cope with the realities of being prime minister. There is only so much he can delegate to Louis Grech.

  4. Gahan says:

    The podium IS a barrier between the speaker and the listeners.

    Muscat needs a podium because he’s got no fire in the belly, so he needs his speech to be carefully written by someone else.

    He goes home to eat at around noon and studies his speech till five in his bed.

  5. Paul says:

    Glen is the one with the red tie, just in case anyone is confused. Possibly the only guy in Labour still wearing one? Nahseb qallu xi haga wara, Joseph.

  6. Tabatha White says:

    Glen, the keeper of Joseph’s secrets.

  7. Majsi says:

    Yesterday, 8pm TVM news showed Joseph Muscat during his visit to Lascaris War Rooms with Mario Farrugia of Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna.

    At one point Farrugia is seen pointing to something with Joseph seen looking downward and not caring about what is being said.

  8. anti labour says:

    Other countries have natural disasters like volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.

    We have the Labour Party.

    • Aunt Hetty says:

      Punishment for our sins.

      That is what my old man used to say way back in the golden Mintoffian era of the 70s and 80s.
