    I see that the evidence shows that his shrinking happened since the elections. Was it his wife’s hot cycle, or Joseph Muscat’s spin dryer?

    • Franco's (Feathered) Tits says:

      It’s probably age-related osteoporosis. He was never tall to begin with, but now he’s impossibly tiny and appears to be getting smaller by the month.

      • ciccio says:

        The more he shrinks with age, the more likely he is to have a guaranteed place in the front of group photographs at the Commission.

    Here’s a little tribute to our favouritest EU Commissioner, The Gu. Along with a bit of Barry White, dead but not forgotten. The Guy, of course, is not dead, not forgotten, and still riding the gravy train.

    An interesting interview.

    It confirms that Minister Mizzi is clutching at straws to divert attention away from PL’s broke promises. How totally pathetic.

    X’memorju koroh!

  6. Natalie Mallett says:

    Joseph Muscat is succeeding in getting rid of whoever is in his way, mainly the old MLP candidates. So far he managed to remove Marie Louise Coleiro Preca and Karmenu Vella. Some others may be more difficult to find an iced bun to part exchange with. I wonder who is up next George Vella or Transport Minister Mizzi?

    Another chess piece in the hands of the Master. Just a petty pawn.
