The prime minister lands in Miami today to sell citizenship at a conference. And today, the Miami Herald runs the headline ‘MALTA POSTPONES CITIZENSHIP SALE AFTER OPPOSITION.’

Miami Herald

Oh how ridiculous. That ship of fools we call the government can’t get one right.

As for Corto Farrugia, what in heaven’s name does he think his job is? A useless idiot, raised 100% in the Super One TV environment, now expected to foresee international public relations disasters and worse, deal with them.

Frigging clowns.

The prime minister speaks at the conference tomorrow, to sell citizenship. Today, everyone will have read that story in the MIAMI Herald. He might even have to face reporters.

Exactly what is he going to say?

“That story is a pack of lies and The Blogger and Simon Busuttil are manipulating the Miami Herald”?

“I came here all the same because my flights were paid”?

“Buy at your own risk”?

“You know, we’re not really a government, but a circus act”?

    The story’s in the Boston Globe, Washington Post, on ABC News and in Businessweek, from where we’d originally learned that Muscat was planning to sell citizenship in an interview he gave Businessweek when he was in China.

    Oh my God. Don’t tell me this news has to go all around the world again.

    Ara biex twikkejna. Wisq nibza li ghadna ma missejnix il-qiegh.

    The report says: “The Nationalists had opposed the law, vowing to repeal it if they returned to power and revoke all the citizenships sold. ”

    That’s exactly the sort of words that those investors in Miami will want to hear before they hand over a cheque for Euro 650,000 to Joseph Muscat.

    I think the PM had better proceed to Las Vegas and try selling Maltese citizenship there. And that’s before the Las Vegas Review-Journal publishes the above news.

    • Peritocracy says:

      This news and uncertainty will probably drive passport sales through the roof in Las Vegas, where the rich love to boast about their reckless games of chance.

      “Wanna hear about my latest 650K gamble on a Maltese passport? It could be worth ten times that tomorrow, or even nothing at all.”

  5. Harry Worth says:

    These last eight months have been a nightmare, moving from one scary scene to another.

    At this rate I simply cannot see this government lasting the full term of this legislature.

    Is it wishful thinking to foresee a repeat of the short 1996 – 1998 term of office ?

  6. zee says:

    Muscat cannot stoop any lower, and in the process, he is embarrassing each and every one of us.

  7. Aunt Hetty says:

    HA JDUM IWAQQALNA WICCNA L-ART U IL-PAJJIZ GHAN-NEJK?!

    Sorry for the caps, exclamation points and rude langauage, but he simply cannot be allowed to carry on as he is doing.

    He’ll try and sell them Chinese solar panels or encyclopedias. He is a salesman and proud of it. Labour delivers.

    All together now….”Oh yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today”

    The commodification of Malta’s citizenship: it tops a shopping list that includes virginity and sanitary towels. http://www.ghafla.co.ke/news/tv/item/13402-here-are-some-things-you-can-do-with-the-32-3-billion-shillings-kbc-owes

    “I came here all the same because my flights were paid.” I am trying really hard to figure out what, if at all, will One News dish out about this tomorrow. How

    Will the Elves manage to extricate the insane actions of their leader from the shit they’re drowning in and assure their followers not to worry because this is all part of the kannink plen? Long and sleepless night ahead.

    • Makjavel says:

      Did Corto Maltese also order his favourite Miami Pizza on line for delivery at the alien detention section of the Miami Airport.
      Can’t miss that, Mr. PM.

  12. P Shaw says:

    His reply to US journalists will probably be “you Americans better see what you are doing in……spying/healthcare debacle/Syria, etc”

  13. Rahal says:

    Muscat’s apparent level-headed politician looks betray a puerile shortsightedness bordering on stupidity.

    Cannot trust the man with personal investment advice let alone the fate of a country.

    Will he reach an acceptable level of political maturity?

  14. A. Charles says:

    Why did the PM go to Miami and not Los Angeles, San Francisco or any other city in the US?

    Maybe, he wants to sell them to the Cuban refugees who have become the majority in this city.

  15. unhappy says:

    Must stop this disgrace immediately.

  16. Dott Abjad says:

    “I came here all the same because my flights were paid”

    La kien intitolat ghalihom, x’ma johodomx. Ma tarax.

  17. Francis Saliba MD says:

    A Prime Minister who cheated the Malta electorate by boasting about his proposed “transparency” should emphasise to his American audience at this conference that what is presenting is NOT what his party is promising in Malta.

    To his Maltese audience he is promising the removal of the secrecy clause and that he intends to sit down and consult with the opposition so as to reach consensus about a different IIP that would be acceptable to the Opposition.

  18. NGT says:

    He’ll assure them that they have a road-map on have done all costings.

  19. manum says:

    Very few of us are aware of what really is going on. Super One is dishing out stories of victory and how clever our prime minister is.

    Dumb-bells believe everything, while those who can think read and write are biting their nails in frustration, as to how this comedy is going to end.

  20. verita says:

    Is it possible that Michelle missed the trip ? Not usual

  21. Doone says:

    What is he going to say? He’ll say: “Kif?! Ma tafux bil-Malti? What the hack!” And he’ll storm out of the building.

  22. rpacebonello says:

    “We want to hear what the Oppositions has to say”
