What is the nature of the relationship between Malta Today’s ace reporter and the government’s head of communications?

Miriam Dalli Malta Today Kurt Farrugia

I think we are owed an explanation by the owners of Malta Today, Roger de Giorgio and Saviour Balzan, and by that newspaper’s editor, Matthew Vella, as to the nature of the very cosy relationship between their ace reporter Miriam Dalli (the other one) and the government’s head of communications, Kurt Farrugia.

Malta Today’s ace reporter also appears to be on very friendly terms with the prime minister’s driver, Jesmond Sghendo (that’s right, really stylish).

In this photograph, Malta Today’s ace reporter is first from left, leaning on the government’s head of communications, while the prime minister’s driver is first from right in the red top.

Miriam Dalli, who is single, clearly fancies the government’s head of communications, who is married, something terrible – and she will probably feel ever so glamorous and flattered at what she will believe is the suggestion contained within this post that they are conducting some kind of relationship.

I wasn’t born yesterday, Miss Dalli. I know you’re not conducting the kind of relationship you probably have in mind, because I can see that you’re only being strung along and used, and that you are the government’s (and formerly the Labour Party’s) way of maintaining a handle on Malta Today.

That, and not your crush on a man shorter than 90% of the female population, is the point of this post.

    Does this photo exemplify the superior Maltese gene pool Lowell has in mind?

      Is that you on the far left, Daphne? You don’t look 60 at all.

      [Daphne – Poison dwarves may be your personal preference, Kevin, seeing as you married one, but they are not mine.]

        Poison dwarves don’t appreciate my type, Daphne. You must be confusing me with someone else.

        [Daphne – I’m not. Nor am I confusing Sharon with somebody who is not a poison dwarf; no personal offence meant there.]

        I am well above personal offence, Daphne. But let’s close this with a quote by famous author M. Scott Peck which applies to both – and all – of us:

        “Human beings are poor examiners, subject to superstition, bias, prejudice, and a PROFOUND tendency to see what they want to see rather than what is really there.”

    Are those four of Snow White’s dwarves?

    What’s absolutely certain is that Malta Today’s comments board has been taken up by a new kind of ‘elve’.

    Positive ones who, however, have nothing to say except blame the PN for Muscat’s economic slowdown.

    Let them to it, if they have to render reality false, the unemployed will have no-one to blame but themselves.

    Seeing how Labour’s slowly insinuating jobs can’t be chosen.

    What matters is to make of Busuttil a clone of Lawrence Gonzi, that it keep everyone happily ‘in’.
