    Jozef, morphine.

  2. Makjavel says:

    The one on the left of the picture would certainly have my vote for president.
    A real gentleman.

  3. ken il malti says:

    The prez would look much better with that hello kitty head on her.

  4. Manuel says:

    Waqajna ghal sormna.

  5. Min Jaf says:

    Hello Kitty meets Hello Tummy.

  6. Francesca says:

    What is wrong with this woman? Someone please give her an extreme make-over before she embarrasses us even further and whilst you’re at it maybe do something about that brain of hers. She is so uncouth just like our Prime Minister.

  7. sceptic says:

    Daphne,please bear with me. Am following .EU and if I understood well, reduction in petrol and gas is as of July( begining or end) and to add insult to injury all this is subject to a reduction in international oil prices. Am I correct in this?

  8. D Ace says:

    The girl’s look says it all.

  9. Neil says:

    I’m now thinking that Her Excellency has been given the Deborah Schembri treatment by our PM, on a Presidantial scale, I.E. putting her in a very public position, under all of the glaring spotlights that go with it – to simply humiliate her.

    She looks SO uncomfortable here, playing with her fingers and probably wishing the ground would just open up and swallow her.

  10. Osservatore says:

    I will gladly nominate her for Arani Issa. Maybe Joseph Checuti could get somebody to do something for her.

    Anything would work really, because this is really a case of anything being better than THAT.

    Hawn Malta vera trid tara biex temmen, u la tara, ma tkunx trid temmen.

  11. Neil says:

    *Presidential! I do not do chav-speak! “Bast Prasidant avar!”

  12. Gaetano Pace says:

    It’s a good thing we no longer feature our head of state on our bank notes.

  13. Why says:

    What the actual hell is this wacko wearing?

  14. TROY says:

    Just imagine an extraterrestrial landing in Malta and asks us to take him to our leader.

    It will be Marie Louise Coleiro or Joseph ir-Romblu.

    He’ll be out of here faster than the speed of light.

  15. Maria says:

    Tal-misthija!

  16. Passi says:

    Oh my God!

  17. Ray says:

    O.M.G.

  18. ron says:

    Mr and Mrs Humpty Dumpty.

  19. Katrina says:

    OH MY GOD!

  20. Carmel Said says:

    Well, hello Kitty.

  21. Conservative says:

    In the wilderness that is now Malta, I challenge anyone with any sense to say that it was not a travesty of monumental proportions to have a republic shoved down our throats by around 60 twits in parliament, and not having retained HM The Queen as OUR Head of State.

    I dare anyone to say that a republic was the best option. “Rajna f’idejna”. “Malta kburija u hielsa”. And all that blistering nonsense.

    We would have been spared the indignities of Agatha and Marie Louise and others. We would have been a proud nation under a glorious monarch, world-known and recognised, cherished and respected.

    We get instead a half-baked champagne socialist who plays at being Catholic. We deserve this. And much worse. It is human to err, folly to persist.

    After Mintoff and Mifsud Bonnici, this party should have been unelectable for 70 years. And yet we got that other clown, the bewigged dimwit Sant after a few years of sensible government.

    We deserve Pol Pot as President, followed by Kim Jong Un, with Castro as acting President.

  22. H. Prynne says:

    That tummy! I’m four months pregnant and I don’t have that tummy. Seriously, besides the horrendous track-suit, she should wear Spanx with everything.

  23. L-iehor says:

    No. That photo is a montage. Daphne, how dare you?

  24. Clueless says:

    Like a true Qormi housewife

    • Joe Fenech says:

      Nothing to do with where you were born. It’s more a matter of an unwillingness to evolve.

      • Clueless says:

        It has EVERYTHING to do with where you’re born, who raises you, and where you get educated.

  25. C.Portelli says:

    Speechless

  26. Tabatha White says:

    Are they expecting?

  27. P Shaw says:

    Is this the inauguration of the circus run in aid of the Community Chest Fund?

  28. Ta'sapienza says:

    I think she mistook the” Mara Qormija, tiswa daqs mija” for tesgha or tiekol daqs mija.

  29. Mr Meritocracy says:

    Please tell me that this is not a current photo.

    Please.

    I don’t want to tear out the little remaining hair I have.

    [Daphne – Yes, it’s current.]

    • Mr Meritocracy says:

      Just great.

      We’ve really scraped the bottom of the barrel.

      Well, I’ll retract that statement, actually. With Labour, one never really knows what the bottom of the barrel is.

      • Rumplestiltskin says:

        When you think that they’ve touched bottom, Labour will always surprise you and find ‘creative’ ways to sink to new depths.

  30. u hallina says:

    Why on earth is she wearing a man’s tracksuit? Why is she wearing it in public?

    The Laburisti at The North Face shop are missing a massive (literally) opportunity for some product placement here.

  31. J Abela says:

    OH MY GOD! We’ve got Vicky Pollard as president.

  32. The Prince says:

    Dear Ms Caruana Galizia, your headlines are killing me. The comments beneath are making my wife think I’m going slightly mad.

  33. Connor Attard says:

    Is it just me, or are some politicians taking this ‘down to earth’ business to an extreme? I can’t abide elitism, but a bit of class won’t upset anyone, bar a few uncultured village types.

  34. Rabti says:

    I’m waiting for the presidential fun run.

  35. AG says:

    My eyes, my eyes! And the exclamation mark is inevitable.

  36. Pippa says:

    Even Agatha Barbara looked much better.

    She was provided with an adviser to help with the image aspect.

  37. VICTOR CASSAR says:

    President aghar minn iehor. Din il-vera tar-rahal.

  38. observer says:

    We have been lumped with a prime minister who certainly does not know how to behave like a prime minister.

    We have also been lumped by one of his minions who certainly does not know how to behave like his superior.

  39. Faceofmalta says:

    Etkar, bit-treksjut sejra ta dalghodu, ghax hekk jixraq Hux, naqa kaxwill
