I’ll bet he never had sex with that woman, either

I know members of the Idiocracy are going to miss the reference completely, but what can I say? Good luck to them.

I’m not about to start dumbing everything down so that people who left school at 12, can’t even speak or write their own language (the only one they know) and have the IQ of a tadpole don’t misunderstand me and get the wrong end of the stick as usual.

As for people like Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando – so-called executive chairman of the Malta Council for Science and Technology – they can take a flying jump.

Drunken and erratic scum like him, who can’t keep it in their pants and who use a gun to threaten their wives (plural) should be in the human equivalent of a landfill site, not sucking up tens of thousands of euros every year just to pop into the office occasionally on a Wednesday morning.

The net result of Joseph Muscat’s pandering to that filthy and vicious Pullicino Orlando is that he has a massive problem on his hands with his ex wife Marlene Farrugia. Yet it is Marlene Farrugia to whom he owes respect and loyalty as his member of parliament and not to her ex husband who has done everything he can for the last 15 years or so, like the pathological obsessive he is, to make her life a misery.

The astonishing thing is how people fail to put two and two together. Of course Marlene Farrugia is playing up because she disapproves of the way Muscat is governing. But it doesn’t help that she knows Muscat is in collusion with and held hostage by the ex husband she despises and fears and who hates her with a single-minded obsession that is truly frightening.

Imagine how you would feel in her position.

I’ve just had an email, incidentally, from a man who accuses Pullicino Orlando of breaking up his marriage by pursuing and making passes at his wife until she gave in and slept with him, while she was his dental patient (that’s grounds for being struck off).

This was just a few months ago, while he was and still is with Lara Boffa who he promoted – probably out of a guilty conscience – to a more senior position at the Malta Council for Science and Technology.

In any case, why should we be surprised? He began seeing Lara Boffa when he had been married to Carmen Ciantar for just a few months, after creating all that ruckus about how he wanted to divorce Marlene Farrugia so that he could marry her.

These men are sick. No, really, there’s something badly wrong with them.

As for Chris Cardona – who accused him of taking cocaine or any other drug? I certainly didn’t. You can’t say the same of some of the people who were in that small space alongside him, though. Maybe he’s naive and doesn’t notice these things. Isn’t it amazing how Malta has a high rate of cocaine use, the second highest rate of heroin use in Europe, but nobody takes cocaine, which is the drug of middle-aged posers and not young people?

I went into that bar at five o’clock in the afternoon on a work-day and described exactly what I saw, including the Minister for the Economy – something which some newspaper should have done a long, long time ago given that he’s always there and always in inappropriate company in a very inappropriate setting even in daylight hours. And I also transcribed our conversation exactly as it was. I didn’t invent anything, I didn’t add anything, and I didn’t leave anything out. And Chris Cardona, in fact, did not challenge or contradict anything I wrote.
