Joseph has been doing the best ever il Duce impersonation of his career in they last few days of this drawn kabuki play of a funeral for the old dead reptile Dom .
Apart from Muscat’s Duce, Michelle is finally in her element, as a Sicilian woman. She’s a beautiful Sicilian woman from Corleone or some other village up on the mountains.
The future energy minister, as though in some tourist resort, almost smiling for the occasion… and taking the photo to ensure that, one day, he can say “I was there!”
His cover photo reads “mexxa progetti f’oqsma tal-energija” … makes me wonder why he wants to get involved in politics…
Tnehhi l-bekkamorti, l-usher fir-ritratt, ufficjali tal-armata, pulizija pajzana u bl-uniformi, il-big screen u l-platform tal-kameras, tinduna li f’San Pawl (festa pubblika li nehha Mintoff u reggha tana Eddie) ikun hemm iktar nies f’dik il-pjazza.
[Daphne – That’s exactly what I thought. I expected huge crowds and scenes of hysteria, and there were none. Just a few straggling old men and women.]
I thought Joe Mizzi will be the future energy minister. He even claims to know where oil can be found in Malta’s continental shelf. How can this prophet of plenty be replaced by someone much younger?
Taken from Maltastar:
‘When the congregation turned up at St John’s Co-Cathedral on Saturday morning for the state funeral they found a simple and modest publication with a picture of Mintoff and the eight beatitudes taken from the Gospel of St Matthew (5: 3-10)
“3 Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.’
Match’end score is 0 – 8.
At least Michelle has a natural facial expression. Joseph, on the other hand… I wonder how much time he spent practicing his ‘tal-okkazjoni’ face in front of the mirror. It looks like he might have gotten a headache by the end of the day.

Beautiful? Michelle Muscat? Are you serious?

Mater Dolorosa et Pater Strafottente.
The impression he gave me, following Yana from the palace to St.John’s, was that he’s finally settled for his new master.

@ min weber, you couldn’t have described her better.
At least Michelle has a natural facial expression. Joseph, on the other hand… I wonder how much time he spent practicing his ‘tal-okkazjoni’ face in front of the mirror. It looks like he might have gotten a headache by the end of the day.
Oh,what a circus, oh, what a show.
Although I listened to that musical and that particular song so many times, it is only now I realize the true meaning of the lyrics.
Any photos of Alfred Sant or Joe Debono Grech at the funeral?
And of Consuelo?
Dak il-velu ta’ Prada?
Gucci please…. :)
Mela kien hemm ridikoli meta mietet eva peron ja qatta ghajjurin u msieken!!!
At first I thought it was the Dolce&Gabbana Fall/Winter 2012/2013 advertising campaign photo shoot.
Then I saw Yana Mintoff.
Oh, forgot to post the link. Here it is:

Alfred Sant and Joe Debone Grech! What about Gorg Vella? Was he there?
They were in a different mood in front of the Palace. All smiles and handshaking the mMntoffjan crowd.
