Tsk, tsk, tsk – double standards, Dear Joseph
So when Cyrus Engerer entered his ex boyfriend’s home using a key he’d failed to return after the break-up, logged onto his computer, copied the worst of some very embarrassing photographs, and then emailed them out to the other man’s boss, work colleagues, friends and Father Christmas, Joseph Muscat’s reaction was to defend him and welcome him into the skip.
But when downloaded, printed and leaked to the press some very embarrassing and compromising emails between him and a star-struck RTK journalist, his reaction was….hysterical.
Hacking, he screamed. I want an enquiry now. Then he bounced off the walls.
At least we know he’s going to get a good slug of milk tomorrow. That should calm him down. Daqxejn Horlicks u mexxu.

Wasn’t it Engerer’s ex-boyfriend who did that, not vice-versa?
[Daphne – Oh. For. Crying. Out. Loud. Why would Cyrus Engerer be under prosecution if he was the victim?]
My mistake.
I wonder what Mrs Muscat makes of young Joey having all these secretive little email chats with star-struck 30-something women?
Joseph Muscat was caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
How can families trust their future to him? His behaviour has been so childish.
He is not ready to lead the nation. He should have stayed as a Super One correspondent. MLP diehards should sorely miss George Abela. The delegates really did a doozy.
The delegates’ good judgement was evident in that crucial moment for the (then) MLP. Not.
But they represented a mere sample of the masses which support Labour and gives one a glimpse on the IQ of the average Labour Party supporter.
A new scale for calculating their IQ will be adopted starting from 0 to -100.
I do not see why Joseph is trying to cover his arse. It is only a few emails that have been published. To the contrary, in Cyrus’s case…
So in parliament, Joseph yelled foul and spoke about a “parallel secret service”. He asked for an inquiry and full protection.
But the most interesting bit is that he didn’t table – as an official document – the document which he deemed to have been hacked.
My hunch is that he still believed that the email thread was not in the hands of journalists and was trying to pre-empt its publication by inventing a story.
How could the Speaker order the investigation of hacking when the relevant documents were not presented to the House? To quote the Leader himself: Qisa soap opera
(where is the “h” by the way?)
Maybe he thought he could scare the media with his intervention in Parliament, and that the media would not publish his emails. As if.

Labour’s playing the victim isn’t new.
Piero Fassino was one of Prodi’s ministers and secretary general in the short lived PDS. One of the most vocal critics of Berlusconi’s conflicts of interest.
He was taped voicing his satisfaction at the successful attempt by a financial group to take over a bank. The other man on the phone was the one who had led this operation considered close to the PDS. Fassino’s ‘we have a bank all our own now’ permanently ruined his chances to ever run for national elections. He’s now mayor of Turin.
I see some parallels too, but not what Joseph thinks.
This is not connected to this post, just “biex nikkonslaw”!
Seems like we’re not the only ones with idiots deciding our fate. This was posted on a friend’s wall, she’s from The States as I’m sure you’ve guessed.
In a Purdue University classroom, they were discussing the qualifications to be President of the United States. It was pretty simple. The candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age.
However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president.
The class was taking it in and letting her rant, and not many jaws hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating “What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?”
Yep, these are the same kinds of 18-year-olds that are now voting in our elections!
They breed and they walk among US.
Good Grief! We need more help than we thought we did.
Insurance for being hacked (politicians please note): don’t say or do anything crass, stupid, criminal . . . ever. Ensure your behaviour is absolutely I M P E C C A B L E and you’re laughing.
Joseph isn’t laughing – further comment is superfluous.
What struck me most about those e-mails was the charisma with which Dr Muscat led that journalist on. Diverting her attention to what it was that he, and she, were actually doing and saying.
There is no way that she could have noticed that she was being used by him. Especially when she was blinded by her admiration for him.
Between the charisma lay a sinister thought process. I found the most telling moment in those emails to be that part where she mentioned how good it was that the PL appeared to be united.
Muscat’s brief response – it is united – followed by her grovelling showed an important dynamic to that correspondence, I feel.
At least 18 months to go before an election. Can’t wait to see how many other screw-ups he stumbles into. Useless twit.
