Titles and positions for the boys under Muscat are a dime a dozen. A brain is not a requirement. Puppets do not need brains, the script is provided by the Master.

Consider this CEO’s statement and the Times of Malta’s unfortunate gullibility:

”SportMalta CEO Mark Cutajar said the organisation was keen to ensure traditions unique to Malta, such as the regatta, were nurtured.”

Unique: being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else.

The online etymology dictionary states:

regatta (n.)
1650s, name of a boat race among gondoliers held on the Grand Canal in Venice, from Italian (Venetian dialect) regatta, literally “contention for mastery,” from rigattare “to compete, haggle, sell at retail.” [Klein’s sources, however, suggest a source in Italian riga “row, rank,” from a Germanic source and related to English row (v.).] The general meaning of “boat race, yacht race” is usually considered to have begun with a race on the Thames by that name June 23, 1775 (see OED), but there is evidence that it was used as early as 1768.

Seems that their immersion in diplomatic circles did not teach them much then. Perhaps political correctness is not something that can be learnt by everyone.

I’ve encountered Glenn Bedingfield on many occasions this week at St. Catherine’s feast in Zurrieq. He’s after Marlene Farrugia’s and Karmenu Vella’s votes at the upcoming general election.

Will the collective noun for a group of scoundrels be an “infestation”?

What a collection of bad specimens. They’re not doing the Maltese race any favours by standing “tall” together.
