The only tapping we’re doing is with our right index finger…on our right temple

Franco Debono is running a series of faked phone-tap conversations on his blog, calling them PHONE TAPPING.

A few of them purport to be between Gordon Pisani, head of communications at the prime minister’s office, and me.

They would be so much more credible if he were to get the language right. It sounds so much like me, you know.

“What do you think about that Handsford guy?”

“What do you think on James Debono or Stagno Navarra on TVM2?”

“Had to, since we were tapped on Franco’s blog. We were uncovered. It was known to all that Charles Buhagiar was next.”

The day I ask somebody what they think ON something is the day somebody’s knocked me out with Rohypnol. And imagine what people around me would think if I ever said (or wrote) something like “we have to siphon these people out of the stable”.

Dear God.

The trouble with these situations is that while people like me can get down to a T the way that people like Franco speak, people like Franco can never get the way that people like me speak.

Let’s face it, if they could, they would be speaking that way too instead of speaking the way they do.

Oh and incidentally, Franco. I never call Gordon Pisani ‘Gord’ and on the very rare occasions that we do speak, we speak in Maltese.

So if you want to sound authentic, try that. Idiot.

      Just heard he fell out of the canoe and his up to his lips in shit. He was heard whimpering ‘don’t make a wave’. Forget the paddle.

    Is this for real? Someone should really help this guy. I do not visit his blog because I don’t want to contribute one hit to his insanity.

    [Daphne – Yes, it’s real and in a parallel universe near you. The comments he fakes beneath his posts are even worse, and then there are the bitter loonies who have now flocked there from Maltastar, Maltatoday and tasteyourownmedicine. He should be so proud.]

    This man is incredible – in all the wrong ways.

    Daphne, could you kindly remove the grimacing face of Anglu Farrugia which curls my stomach every time I log in? There is only so much i can endure

    He’s a shining wit (said Mr Spooner…)

    (Mr Spooner also says that he’s a smart fella)

    And how incredibly rude he is. Il veru baxx.

    “It was known to all that charles buhagiar was next”…how tedious

    Let’s be fair to the Top Criminal Lawyer. He believes in Meritocracy. He is not Indulging His Ego. He is only Sacrificing Himself for Our Rights.

    I am sure that it is Pure Coincidence that he’s picking on People Who Have Upset Him by saying What They Think of Him.

    He won’t tell us what he thinks of the party in opposition, particularly not its leader.

    Textbook case of paranoiac behaviour.

    What’s irritating is how he never discusses in detail the proposals, by this I mean their merits and relevance, or at least accept a minimum of criticism to their possible shortcomings; It’s not as if this place is one for discipline and transparency without personalised interpretation.

    If he had any intellect, that should be his concern.

    I don’t have to read his blog, won’t find anything worth reading and wouldn’t take the pompous tone anyway.

    Franco has become another Emy Bezzina, blaming everyone for his spectacular failure with life in general, he’s just got a blog.

    Giraffa, just click on his nose and read what comes up, very interesting, the most interesting read so far was about Marie Louise Coleiro Preca.
