The photograph that Joseph Muscat will keep in his desk drawer
There is so much wrong with this that I don’t know where to begin. But I’ll bet this is a photograph that the seriously nasty Joseph Muscat will be keeping in his desk drawer.
I’ll bet it’s the moment for which he made Anglu Farrugia speaker.
Joseph Muscat, seriously nasty?
That’s right.
You have to be pretty obtuse not to see that on the basis of observation over 20 years, when he first began working at the Labour Party and Super One. Sadly, the vast majority of people clocked Muscat for the first time when he was elected party leader five years ago and never took note of the back story or the clues to his viciously manipulative personality.
The same thing happened with Alfred Sant.
The trouble is that most people seem unaware that the most vicious individuals are also the best smilers. The smiles and the flattery are not genuine – they’re just a tool in the search for other people’s Achilles heel.
Look at Muscat’s track record with Alfred Sant: it’s a case study of what I mean.

When I saw this pic earlier, I went straight to the scotch. Still at it.
So nasty in fact, that more than Dr Gonzi, Anglu Farrugia looks as though he is going to bust a vein. He looks deeply unhappy.
I think Joseph Muscat will frame the photo.
Yes, but the oath taken here is one of allegiance towards the Republic of Malta which officially states:
“I … solemnly swear/affirm that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the people and the Republic of Malta and its Constitution. (So help me God).”
I mean it is not an allegiance towards the Speaker.
What am I missing?
“Kieku nista nitfak 48 siegha fic-chip.”
He definitely did not tell him “Hares lejja, Lawrence. Hares lejja.”
Anġlu hasn’t got the guts to look Dr Gonzi in the face. What a farce they have managed to do with the opening of Parliament. The highest institution!
The Speaker has proved to be a man of straw. His wife showed more grinta than her husband as she didn’t attend his installation. And please don’t tell us that she had other commitments.
[Daphne – They might not be together. Anglu Farrugia himself said that at the time of the divorce debate he had marital problems. I took it that he had since reconciled with his wife, but perhaps not then.]
Lolita Pusang will have seen Mrs Minister of Justice and Mrs Minister of Energy. She’s plotting her next move as prospective Mrs Speaker.
