All he needs is a frilled bonnet, a bowl of curds and whey, and a spider.

The only thing he is in control of is the pedal – hidden under the desk – of those teleprompters.

Well, at least he should have a tablet – maybe one of those coloured light blue, to match the colour of his tie I hasten to add – to lead by example considering that he will be distributing free ones to Form 4 students according to his roadmap.

The sad thing is that more than half the country lap this sort of thing up.

They both have the same function, to divert viewers’ eyes from having to look constantly at the speaker.

In this particular case, the green light proved to be the more stimulating aspect to watch.

Figures, most of the time he talks through his arse. Possibly looks at his world through it as well.

In the case of Joseph Muscat, the buck never stops there, it gets to be delegated onwards through the maze of ministers, parliamentary secretaries, commissions, and foundations where, with luck, it can get lost and be forgotten.

If the buck is not forgotten, then all Joseph Muscat needs to do is to pluck out one of his numerous lackeys in that complex setup and pin the blame on him.

In most cases, such is the mentality of most of his appointees that the individual so identified would actually feel himself honoured to carry the can for his master.
