Jose Herrera

Sent in by L-Iehor:

Jose Herrera was recently invited on a television show. When the floor manager asked him where he’d like to put his mike pack, he very elegantly replied ‘Tridx tpoggihuli mal-bajd’. Charming.

    Did he say that live?

  2. Felix says:

    Not surprised. I heard him once at the Law Courts, walking along with his assistant lawyer, talking loud and vulgar, for everyone to hear. He was not arguing about any case, but telling his aide, or whoever she was, what she needed to do.

    He gave me the impression that when he is vulgar he feels himself cool.

  3. Joe Fenech says:

    Is that a prison tattoo on the arms of the other ‘gentleman’?

  4. H.P. Baxxter says:

    This is nothing. His average lunchtime conversation contains more blasphemy than twelve reruns of the director’s cut of Scarface.

    • Ivan says:

      Quite true H.P. Baxxter, he blasphemes often and I remembered him telling jokes about Alfred Sant (also dirty ones) during lunch especially at the Casino Maltese and with other Labour MPs.

    The Honourable Jose Herrera.

    Tourette’s syndrome with coprolalia.

  7. Timon of Athens says:

    And I’m expected to refer to these people as “Onorevoli”?

  8. rob says:

    He probably simply does not suffer fools easily. Why must a soundman ask where to put the radiomike? Soundman should just say “can I put it in your inner pocket?”

  9. Helen says:

    Just the language to go with that gaudy bracelet of his!

    Tghid lill-Onorabbli ohtu hekk ikellimha wkoll.

      One doesn’t suddenly start swearing and being vulgar at age 30, or 50.

      It’s more likely to be the revert-to-form language he’s most familiar with.

  11. Manuel says:

    There’s an ‘honourable gentleman’ for you.

  12. canon says:

    Jekk mhuwx gh**** Lawrence Gonzi, il-bajd ta’ Herrera.

  13. bob-a-job says:

    ‘Tridx tpoggihuli mal-bajd’.

    That sounds like an old Agatha Barbara joke.

  14. P Bonnici says:

    They would have needed a microscope to comply with his request.
