Look here, this simply isn’t at all fair

The Minister for Gozo has had his wife Michelina Refalo transferred from another part of the civil service to his Ministry office, where she is now propping him up like that other famous ministerial couple, except that the Gozo Two haven’t attracted the same amount of attention.
The Minister of Health has brought in his girlfriend Marlene to deputise and delegate for him as Health Minister II.
And the prime minister’s wife has an as yet undefined position in the prime minister’s office, and an email address logged as Michelle Muscat at OPM.
Come on, this really isn’t fair at all.
What about Franco Debono? He should be allowed to take his mother to work.

Firstly, is Marlene Dr Farrugia’s girlfriend or wife?
[Daphne – They live together.]
At this rate, the Parliamentary building has to house bedrooms as well. Cabinet is very much beginning to resemble a session of “Show and Tell”.
Coming to think of it, the garanzija ta’ xoghol is already coming to fruition with the Ministers’ life partners.
My reply to your concluding remark: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
And his prize cock, too.
He carries what he believes to be his prize cock around with him, and takes it for a constitutional around Valletta every day.
Also Mr. Frank Psaila ex perm sec under minister Anton Tabone and Giovanna Debono has been appointed Consultant by Minister Anton Refalo. A week before the election he accused the Gozo Minister of nepotism.
I knew it would soon become an epidemic. And Mrs. Mallia ?
It looks like we’ll living in another Malta now. And since Joseph seems enamoured of creating a second republic, it seems “Banana Republic” would be a very apt name.
The present situation, unfolding at the ministries, lends itself to being the platform for the coming Christmas Pantomimes or our very own operetta. “The Merry Wives of Valletta” comes to mind.
I can hear a Minister asking, “Have you seen my wife?” and the audience calling “Behind you!”
It could be very funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.
This is not meritocracy but mediocrity.
How about “maritocracy”?
Or (un)marriedocracy.
No it’s not – this is meritocrassy.
Article 1 of the Constitution of the Second Republic
(1) Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed so as to allow any person to insult the person of the mother of the framer of this Constitution.
(2) in the event that the mother of the framer of this Constitution is insulted by any person, the Prime Minister shall either:
(a) issue an apology at the earliest possible opportunity, or
(b) tender his resignation to the President of the Republic.
(3) For the avoidance of doubt, the mere mention of the mother of the framer of this Constitution by any person without prior permission from the framer of this Constitution shall be deemed to be an insult for the purposes of this article.
Article 1
(4) No one shall say that the framer of this Constitution needs a psychiatrist, tajjeb? Everyone who breaks this law shall be obliged to write out Debono’s astounding form IIC report 1000 times and to repeat:
‘I FRANCO DEBONO AM MUCH MORE HANDSOME THAN YOU AND DO NOT FEAR YOU’.
Franco Debono already takes his girlfriend to work.
It’s just that she’s deflated, so she can fit in his briefcase.
(Ooh, you naughty boy Baxxie.)
Baxxter, Franco Debono’s girlfriend is already on the state payroll. She works at the law courts. Forsi issa “taqla transfer”.
That’ll be the French version with the reinforced derriere.
Actually his girlfriend is not deflated at all. She hangs at the end of his right arm and has five fingers (or is he left-handed?).
So what’s the man’s problem then?
Let’s recap:
1) He has reached the pinnacle of his career in his 30s.
2) He has wads of cash to spare, and more where that came from.
3) He is getting laid, regularly.
By my standards, he should be singing ‘Oh what a beautiful morn’, every morn, not whining about suffering.
Uh-oh, you’re going straight to hell for that one. LOL.
I thought it was his cock that was deflatable.
and he uses his ego to inflate it
This is a very old practice.
Five centuries ago Raffaello Santi was employed by Agostino Chigi to whitewash the ceilings and walls of the latter’s holiday cottage on the banks of the Tiber.
The painter insisted on having his lover installed in one of the rooms for the entire duration of the works.
The ravishing Margherita (of La Velata fame) was to be easily accessible round the clock in case, as Vasari relates, the master got the urge.
Whether in spite of or because of Margherita the painting was a great success.
Vasari also points out that Santi died young, at 37, from excesses of the pleasures of the flesh.
At least this dying young business does not apply to the members of our cabinet.

Maybe taking your wife to work is Labour’s interpretation of family friendly policies.
Veru kaz ta’ “Il-Ministeri taghna lkoll”.
I think at this rate we will be having JPO’s wife number two at Bighi doing some ’voluntary’ work.
If MP Marlene does it, so will Delegate Carmen.
Oh yes definitely. Poor JPO is another henpecked sod and he must be frantically peddling to elevate his new wife, possibly to the new “voluntary” post of Assistant Chair of Malta Council for Science and Technology with the task of organising monthly parties for the “in” crowd.
That sounds better than working for Yellow Pages.
Which leaves us with the last of the trio. What position will Mr. Consuelo Herrera assume?
