He really does look like Mussolini.
[Daphne – Oh I don’t think he does at all. That’s just a fleeting impression created by his very unfortunate jaw, which doesn’t allow him to enunciate words properly. There’s a medical term for it, but I can’t recall what it is right now. Had he been a child today, corrective measures would have been taken, but back then, nobody bothered and in any case, state health care was disastrous under the government for which his parents voted. Mussolini cultivated the hard-man image, probably to conceal latent homosexuality as there was always something incredibly camp about him, but with every passing month, Muscat looks more bloated and his face smoother and more stretched, and this makes him look less and less masculine. That photograph is a crafted propaganda image and heavily photoshopped. He looks less masculine now than he did at 30, when the normal biological process is the other way round, until the point is reached where some old men begin looking like old ladies.]
The term you are trying to remember is prognathism.
Re: his masculinity: he isn’t, by any chance, one of those unfortunate men who decided to take Propecia to help with his hair loss and ended up suffering the apparently very common side effects?
[Daphne – http://www.belgraviacentre.com/blog/propecia-side-effects/ I had absolutely no idea about all that. Well, that’s certainly one possible explanation, given his obsession with his hair loss.]
That’s nothing. Read this:http://www.propeciahelp.com/
He’s never possessed an ounce of manliness, even in his days as a hack, before the hair loss. Behold the body of a man who’s never done a day’s work in his life.
If you keep talking about these side effects, you might prompt the propaganda machine/head of communications to film the Muscats intimately in their bed, and then distribute the DVD through the monti hawkers at their new location next to the Renzo Piano building.
The video footage could be interpreted as culture or propoganda, depending on your personal point of view and upbringing.
Not facially, but his moves are those of Benito.
[Daphne – Yes, ham-acting, and very badly too.]
The term you are trying to remember is underbite.
[Daphne – That’s not a medical term.]
“..state health care was disastrous under the government for which his parents voted.”
Joseph Muscat was a church school student so he was not entitled to the state-funded school dental clinic, which happen to be the ‘growing stage’ when the bite is corrected with braces, the removal of two teeth and what-not.
He’s living evidence of the Mintoff years when you were treated as a lesser being if you attended a Church school.
[Daphne – His parents could have paid for the treatment privately. If they could buy him a house and pool at 22, they could have bought him a helmet brace at 12.]
One of the reasons why the Labour party was elected was due to its fresh marketing campaign.
Nonetheless, the marketing factor was in my opinion over-rated and evidence of this is now emerging, as the Labour government seems to think that governing a country is just a marketing exercise.
Communication is key, but there is a striking difference between communication and propaganda.
If they think that the ‘promotion’ factor will be sufficient, they are greatly mistaken as the ‘product’ factor is now the focus.
In simple terms, it’s like they sold themselves ‘on plan’ and now people are experiencing the ‘real’ thing.
I’m sure they will do the Marquis proud.
Must be the only time Kurt Farrugia has ever seen any action.
Very Bolshevik.
Your government delivers. Pizza, anyone?
Excuse the Maltese, but I imagined they delivered qassatat – wahda wara l-ohra.
“Hard” is always a relative term I’m afraid.
Lying already? http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20130626/local/Ministry-didn-t-know-of-EC-action.475410
The couple with a jaw problem.
‘To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war.’ This is something the Muscats know about.
During the electoral campaign, while still in opposition, the Labour propaganda machine was already claiming that Joseph delivers (delivers what, at that particular time?).
The strategy worked, and how.
Now that Labour is in government, the same propaganda machine is trying to convince the people that it is delivering. Anyone caught fiddling with this dupe machine will be labelled as ‘Negative’.
