All he needs to do is to balance his refinement against Muscat’s vulgarity.

If he takes it up a notch, it’s lost, if he keeps it close, Muscat’s outwitted. The prime minister cannot afford to heap ridicule everytime or avoid answering.

Busuttil’s right, Muscat needs to start governing, grow up and stop sending in the ONE brigade nitpicking on last year’s electoral campaign.

As for Jurgen Balzan, what’s with all those hypothetical fantapolitical questions?

The journalists were a pitiful sight yesterday. This is an appeal to Simon Busuttil to keep calm and bear with their idiocy, just give them the time to catch up, those cogs won’t manage that speed.

Perhaps some perspective is due; even though we’ve had Labour in government for eight months, the measures were GonziPN’s. Only now does Labour really start.

We’ll see.

‘U int, Sur President taf x’jigifieri, meta xi hadd tqaccat ghax semma’ l-gudikatura u l-kummissarju jibqa’ hemm.’

I think I saw Anglu Farrugia shrinking in his chair.

[Daphne – Actually, he seemed to be really enjoying the whole thing.]

Busuttil spoke for the nation yesterday. When Muscat resorts to snide retort tonight, he won’t be insulting the leader of the Opposition.

His speechwriters are still blundering idiots. They’ve just given Joseph Muscat the perfect riposte.

“Simon Busuttil stess qal li hu budget tajjeb.”

It’s the shortcomings of Maltese at work again. “Tajjeb” can mean anything. Muddled language, muddled thoughts.

I agree with “curious”. Dr. Simon Busuttil was brilliant, but his statement of “Dan hu budget tajjeb” is going to be exploited tonight by Muscat.

Whoever wanted could understand Dr. Busuttil’s whole argument, however, considering the arguments and mantras being put forward by PL, whatever Dr. Busuttil would have said was always going to be interpreted in a twisted way.

If he opposed the Budget, they would have said he was being negative.
