She can’t even stand to use his name, and who can blame her?
Jeffrey Pullicino aka Pullicino Orlando’s wife, who on their marriage 18 months ago became formally known as Carmen Pullicino aka Pullicino Orlando, has reverted to her maiden name of Carmen Ciantar and changed her Facebook profile accordingly.
This indicates that the two have gone through formal separation proceedings already, and are not just living apart, as it is only at that point that a married woman may choose to revert legally to her maiden name.
Ms Ciantar hadn’t made a similar decision when she separated from her first husband. She continued to use his name together with her own, Carmen Camilleri Ciantar, despite living with Jeffrey Pullicino (Orlando) for more than a decade leading up to their marriage. It was only when she divorced him so as to be able to marry Pullicino in August 2012 that she reverted to her maiden name for the few months leading up to their wedding.
And now she’s back to Ciantar again. That was quick. But I’m not surprised. The shock of discovering that I was right about her lousy husband after all must have been enormous.
“The attacks on my husband were the best university of my life,” Ms Ciantar told Malta Today in an interview about her “love for politics” (but significantly, not her love for her new husband) in May 2013. Three months later he was drunk and brawling at a Rabat pastizzi shop at 5am, accompanied by her best friend’s sister. And five months later she had packed up and left him and he had taken up with his personal assistant, Lara Boffa, after being instrumental in recruiting her to the Malta Council for Science and Technology.
And fascinatingly, Ms Ciantar has now ‘liked’ PN EP candidate Ray Bugeja’s latest Facebook post. In his position, I’d bring out a barge-pole and use it. Ms Ciantar most certainly is not having her third Damascene moment.

Some people see through a person in ten seconds. Others see through a person after ten years.
The best thing is to see through and beyond and to do something about it good or bad.
The worst thing that can happen to someone is for him to live all his life with the wrong person and realise the person was wrong on his death bed.
I wish Mrs Ciantar all the best. She’s looking super good.
[Daphne – Ms Ciantar always knew what Pullicino Orlando is like. She just thought that he wouldn’t be the same way with her. She left him not because he is despicable and vile – she very well knew he’s that way, and encouraged his vileness towards others as long as it suited their joint aims and ambitions – but because he was, finally, despicable and vile to her. They are actually very well suited to each other. It is just that one of them broke the mutually understood reciprocal pact, in this sort of unscrupulous self-serving coupling, that neither must use vile means on each other even as they use vile means on others to further their interests. So have no illusions, and rest assured that the hunt is on already not for The Right One but for The Useful Target, hence all the efforts with appearance. Unfortunately, I already have a pretty good idea of what’s going to happen next.]
Ray Bugeja is spoken for.
Men will generally be men.
You evidently don’t know Ray Bugeja.
That’s why I said she’s looking ‘super good’. The picture speaks a thousand words and the hunt looks like there’s more to it. It shall be interesting to follow.

Please tell us – you’ve got an uncanny ability to clearly see that which only becomes obvious to the rest of us later.
Given Carmen Ciantar’s history of marrying two Nationalists who are financially well off, and turning them into MLP voters (Frank Camilleri in 1996 and Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando in 2013), I can already work out who her star candidate targets are now.
How tiresome. Do these people have no shame? No self-respect?
Can Ray Bugeja somehow delete the ‘like’ entered by his new ‘admirer’?
That way, at least, he may disassociate himself from unrequited adulation.
I’m sure it will do him an awful lot of good in his campaign.
He can always block her.
I have a question for Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici:
Can he swear under oath that he was not on a large, open truck accompanying thugs banging heavy chains and tools in Santa Lucia Street in Valletta in September 1984, on the same day and at around the same time that the Law Courts and the Curia were vandalised by Labour/dockyard thugs?

I can swear under oath that I saw him in that truck.
Yes can he answer this question under oath, affidavit ?
This fight at Is-Serkin? Oh, look! Franco Debono’s mentioned in it, too!

She’s gone up in the world. (or so she probably thinks). According to her Facebook page, she now lives in Sliema.
According to John Bundy, she was already a “mara ta’ success” sometime in 2011 or 2012.
She’s hedging her bets. She also ‘liked’ Charlon Gouder Determinazzjoni Lealta’ (sic).
Nice shiny black wig she’s got there. You could stick that on your car bonnet and drive through a country road in the middle of the night with your headlamps switched off.
When people see others as a step up a ladder there really is little left to say in their favour.
Come on, we’ve all been there. Ritienne’s father owns half the quarries in the Sawt.
Have we? Nothing like a bit of clarification to get a draft going through a stuffy room.
