How about that! Lawrence Gonzi has not only been sharply censured by the likes of Franco Debono, who has also humiliated him, and Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando and Jesmond Mugliett, he is now being rejected also by MEP Simon Busuttil.

(Simon) Busuttil is keeping his distance...- Anthony Mizzi, Qormi

I did not realise Dr Busuttil was that smart. Well done.

That can be the only interpretation of Dr Busuttil’s opinion (February 28) that he is not Dr Gonzi’s favoured candidate as a future Nationalist Party leader. Dr Busuttil is keeping his distance from Dr Gonzi. He does not want to be tainted by his leader.

Dr Busuttil believes that coming too close to Dr Gonzi would spoil his chances in any leadership contest. How right. Who would want to be the trusted one of anyone who has proved to be such a disaster?

Can anything be more humiliating?
