“Jiena kburi li nimxi wara Joseph Muscat”

Published: December 15, 2014 at 3:17pm

Well, I wouldn’t walk in front of him because he’s got a knife. And if I were Muscat, I wouldn’t walk in front of that one, either.

I’m told by somebody who saw it there that Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando’s big-car-for-a-small-man – with distinctive JPO plates – was parked on the double yellow lines outside the Prime Minister’s Office last Friday.

Whatever plan they hatched for Xarabank that night certainly blew up in their faces. Or rather, it blew up in Pullicino Orlando’s, because I believe the prime minister sent him there to be laughed at on a suicide mission. If that were not the case, his people would have made sure to bus in a load of Laburisti to root for him. But they didn’t. That side of the audience seating was empty.

    I think he was also sent there to divert attention from Toni Abela to JPO. Most of the show Toni Abela just sat there comfortably, thanking God for the spettaklu.

      I think this was the real plan: to sabotage the discussion and keep it away from the subject of Malliagate.

      I think that plan worked well. Pullicino Orlando is not considered a Laburist so any tongue-lashing he got was saved from the LP as represented by Toni Abela. Pullicino Orlando got all the flak instead of Toni.

    • just me says:

      True. And I am surprised no one mentioned the “blokka silg”.

  2. A Montebello says:

    This is not a clever comment – I’m genuinely asking whether it would be worth watching this dreaded programme, or would I just get angry and want to smash my tv?

  3. gn says:

    Bil-Malti, laghbu.

  4. In-Nemusa says:

    It was a way of diverting attention off the Mallia scandal onto JPO and the stupid character he is

  5. Makjavel says:

    Beppe Fenech Adami flushed both Toni and Jeffrey down the gutter.

  6. gorg says:

    How is it that no one on the panel reminded Toni of the blokka silġ?

  7. Vagabond King says:

    U jien kburi ukoll li Jeffrey jimxi wara Joseph Muscat ghax hekk hlisna minnu darba ghall-dejjem.

  8. willie inatinovic says:

    Maybe Joseph did it on purpose to get his own back on behalf of Carmen Camilleri Ciantar Pullicino Orlando Smith.

  9. Pablo says:

    Muscat’s seduced these former opponents knowing that they carried within themselves the seeds of their own destruction.

    One by one they will fade away, sometimes with the help of a gentle push from their new master. Like Mallia, so with the rest.

  10. Rosie says:

    Ibqa imxi warajh bahnan kollok , dak riklam ta lijderxip.

  11. bob-a-job says:

    What would you do if you were Machiavelli and you wanted to get rid of someone?

    Simple, just give that person enough rope to hang himself with. (Women seem to be excluded from this scheme)

    So Muscat sends JPO to make a fool of himself and the MLP. When public opinion builds sufficiently against Pullicino Orlando, Muscat will have to ‘reluctantly’ remove him like he did with Manwel Mallia.

    He is doing the same with Lou Bondi, Franco Debono and Cyrus Engerer.

    Muscat is fanning Labour hate and envy against these people by constantly giving them more and more. Public opinion will do the rest.

  12. Tutti Frutti says:

    I suppose he’s disliked by everybody now. Neither can you trust him nor can you love him.

  13. Watcher of lies says:

    Ma tistax tigihom wahda tajba.

  14. Watcher of lies says:

    It’s been 21 months of one mess-up after another. Each one messier than the one preceding it.

  15. Lupin says:

    Do you think we’ll have a Christmas break from this mess or will it just be messy as usual?

  16. anthony says:

    It is pretty obvious that Joey sent pulcinella to be the sacrificial lamb on Xarabank and at the same time to demean and ridicule the topic of the debate, the Malliagate scandal.
