If Muscat had any sense of justice, ethics and dignity he would fire him, not even put him out to pasture. But clearly, that&#039;s not his intention.  His intention is to see him squirm before the nation, same as with Glen Bedingfield.



Franco Debono, Bedingfield and Pullicino Orlando have lost it, but Muscat is pure psycho territory.]]></description>

Muscat is irresponsible but not to that extent. 

Muscat proposed Debono Chair of the Constitutional Convention for two reasons: first, to repay him for his betrayal of the Nationalist Party, and secondly, to block any discussion on the Constitution because he knows that the Opposition will never accept to be in any discussion in which Debono is involved.]]></description>

Attorney-General or Chief Justice is high office indeed, but I cannot picture Debono in any of the two.

Can you seriously imagine him occupying such low-key positions?

Unless he is given free reign to redefine that office to be the most prominent and in-your-face TVAM-daily-showing appointee, he&#039;d go even madder than he already is.

Sorry, no can do.

I&#039;d rewrite your first sentence to read: &quot;Unless Joseph Muscat appoints him in his stead...&quot;]]></description>
