Tweety-Bird (turkey, actually) does it again
That bumbling schmuck, Luciano Busuttil, has tweeted to his followers that if 38 is old to somebody of 18, then what is 58?
Obviously, he’s an avid reader of Is-Sahhara tal-Bahrija/Bidnija/Wardija, even though he’d probably rather jump on that barbecue of his and roast himself than admit it.
Also, he probably failed his comprehension tests at school. Luciano missed the essential point of my argument, which is that it’s not Muscat’s age that is the problem, but the fact that he actually thinks he’s young and a contemporary of first-time voters, sending them emails in which he calls himself ‘zaghzugh bhalkom’ and ‘bhala zaghzugh’.
I merely reminded him that 38 is a whole generation (20 years) older than 18, and that 18-year-olds think of people Muscat’s age as their parents’ generation, not theirs, which is actually the case.
Lawrence Gonzi, at 58, never pretended to be a contemporary to first-time voters. He just likes people that age and relates to them, and it shows. That’s why they like him reciprocally.
Joseph Muscat, I strongly suspect, never related to young people even when he was a young person himself. I’ll bet you that at sixth form he hung out with the teachers and not with the students. Nothing has changed. He just doesn’t ‘get’ 18-year-olds, can’t talk to them or relate to them, and they understand why not.
He was never one of them, let alone now.

And anyway, we don’t want a youthful PM. We want one who knows what he’s doing, and who can plan for the long term.
Hear bloody hear.
Muscat was an only child. Children raised in his situation learn how to relate to adults rather than children.
He still does not hang around people his own age, now.
He still hangs around Alex Sciberras Trigona, Karmenu & George Vella, Leo Brincat, Joe Debono Grech, ML Coleiro Preca, Toni Abela, Anglu Farrugia et al.
Old habits die hard.
Tinsiex li we’re hanging out with Joseph Muscat this weekend. Or is it in a fortnight’s time?
Excuse me, we are henging out with Joseph.
I can’t understand his fixation of being a young prime minister.
As if youth by itself is a quality that makes good leadership.
If by being young he wants to imply new ideas, I think he has already proven otherwise.
Muscat is an advantage for the PN – with all the stupidities he mouths – it would have been different if somebody else, with more experience and more brains had been elected to lead the Labour Party.
