Jason Micallef, who writes cookery books, is moving on
Jason Micallef: as his friend Mary Spiteri would say, he sank like the Titanic.
Is-sewwa jirbah zgur (sometimes). When Labour finally gets its big electoral victory, the man who helped make it happen with his vicious Super One machine doesn’t get a slice of it.
He doesn’t get elected to parliament, his enemy Anglu Farrugia is made Speaker of the House, and despite his campaign for the plum job at PBS, he doesn’t get offered it, or has his request refused.
So he picks up his petticoats and flounces out in a grand sulk, probably thinking to himself how they’re all going to regret this.
Good riddance, Jason, and take care not to trip over your crinoline on the way out the door.
Well, whatever leverage he had over Joseph Muscat before the election, he seems to have lost it since.

Could it be that he was offered some high post in EU? What is left? Dr Muscat has invented a placement for him for sure.
Disgruntled drama queens are notorious for coming back with a ‘hu go fik” riposte.
As much as I dislike Joseph Muscat, he is not as stupid as he seems.
He clearly knows what he’s doing and at this rate, I wouldn’t rule out a mid-term cabinet reshuffle to oust the very dinosaurs whose egos he had to stroke.
[Daphne – I don’t think any of us thinks he’s stupid. Amoral, yes, stupid, no.]
Not stupid, but a definite arsehole.
The worst people to tread this globe were far from stupid.

Joseph woos his men like a man woos a woman to get her into bed.
He promises the earth until he’s had what he wants, (in this case an electoral victory instead of carnal fumblings) and then dumps the unfortunate ‘victim’.
An awful lot of Maltese fall for a sweet-talking guy.
Awww, nobody loves Jason.
He’s probably not happy seeing Cyrus Engerer planted at Castille either.
According to Cyrus, Jason is a ‘pastas’ and there was no love lost between them.
Something tells me they may have got their handbags tangled in the early stages, particularly when Cyrus was drawing more attention from Joseph than he was.
Well, here’s a lesson for us, lads. Always make several copies of the negatives, and keep at least one in a secure vault in a Swiss bank.
Just wondering whether they might be in someone else’s hands and are currently be used already.
To quote Jozef Stalin, in order to create, Joseph Muscat must first destroy. Franco Debono, Pullicino Orlando and, most spectacularly, Anglu Farrugia being cases in point.
Odds are that we shall soon see Jason Micallef popping up somewhere as political appointee somewhere or other.
Is this not a shade of Dom Mintoff. He strips you bare and then hands you something meager to put on.
Ambassador of the Maltese ”Taghna ukoll” islands for North Korea, maybe ?
Tough shit, Jas, when you swim with the sharks and start to bleed, guess what the other sharks do.
U s-Santa miskin kemm hu bezzul. Lil Franco gej frisk frisk minn qalb in-Nazzjonalisti u Nazzjonalist min guf ommu ghamluh fuq pedestal, u suldat tal-kalibru ta Jason, l-ewwel bghattlulu is-super 1, imbghad baghtuh isaqqi l-hass. Kieku kont floku kont nghamel Frankata.
Veru ta, miskien, m’hux fair, kif ghamlulu. Forsi jekk ikollu x’ intervista fuq it-Times u jibda jikxef il-qohob, isibulu xi post biex jaghlqulu halqu.
Mhux xi parti ohra mill-iscript tat-telenovela ta’ Joseph din. Jumejn ohra jithabbar ufficjalment x’kariga inghata u terga tfegg il-pepsodent smile
Jason will get something minghand Joseph l-ischemer rahli.
Malta ghanda prim ministru tat-tielet dinja.
Enter, Job.
I have a feeling we have not seen the last of him.
Not cacti or other spiky plants. He probably shook hands with Alfred Sant re getting a job in his office in brussels should he be elected. Chances are high.
He’ll soon crop up somewhere else.
Yes. On Hugh’s sofa.
He will be preparing his luggage to go to Brussels soon when Alfred Sant get elected as an MEP.
