Girl from Romanian slum makes good thanks to small, fat old man with plenty of money and lots of drug-trafficker clients

Look at Codruta in Times of Malta this morning, with her old, fat, boorish and ugly but important (in her eyes) and rich husband. She’s thrilled to bits and won’t be pushing off to Bucharest on 13,000 euros a month any time soon.

Aside from the fact that the cunning old toad she’s married to is twice Konrad Mizzi’s age and can in no way be described as naive, this is pot gold for her despite her husband’s notorious stinginess – swanning around with small, fat oligarchs and regime elders in uniform while occasionally being bought, with the famous cash in the safe, a tiny Faberge egg to hang round her neck.

Is there anyone in Muscat’s cabinet who isn’t a caricature of some sort? I’m struggling to think.

    Do you think the story of how they met and courted would be made into a movie any time soon?

    Is that a zebra print tie? Kinky il-man.

    Scratch that, I don’t want it lingering in my head.

    I see he’s obviously given up on the dietician/nutritionist he was under, after seeing ‘that’ photo of himself with the backward facing legs.

    He’s not a socialist. He isn’t in power to make it a better country.

    What is he in government for exactly?

    • ciccio says:

      Good question. I think it might be interesting to understand why exactly he is in there, doing what he is doing.

    • Jason King says:

      Clearly for the money! Like a majority of the politicians in the Labour Party they have absolutely nothing to do with championing the rights of the working class.

      To protect all the elected scoundrels, using all his resources?

    Codruta issa paxxuta,
    U inqas m’hi falluta –
    Ghax minn rahal fir-Rumanija
    f’Malta zzewget lil Mallia,
    Ras kbira.

    Nahseb li ma jonqosha xejn
    Biex tinkweta m’hemmx ghalfejn

    Ghax zewgha zgur m’huwiex midjun
    Taht is-saqqu b’nofs miljun.

    I suppose there weren’t many Super One girls who were tempted, so he scoured Romania instead.

    • makjavel says:

      That was before he declared his 500,000 Euros under the bed sheets.

      If they had known before, it might have been a different matter.

    Some weeks ago I did write that Malta has become a sort of ‘commedia dell’arte’ play where stock characters and highly predicatable plots meet.

    Net TV should start a satirical programme. It has a lot of fodder in the current government to feed from. The French, who are not particularly known for satire, have an excellent TV show in this regard.

    [Daphne – Satire is alien to Maltese culture. What you end up with is invariably more Benny Hill than Spitting Image. So forget it. Bad idea. It’s actually one of the most difficult genres to work on.]

    Does anyone know why Minister Mallia was in Budapest last Thursday? I couldn’t find anything in the news.
