This month I would really like to hit back at some of the snide remarks – perpetrated, of course, by the media scum who support what’s left of the Opposition – and aimed at Malta’s second lady The Hon Mrs Michelle Muscat.
To read some of the garbage written and blogged about Jo-zeff’s lovely consort you’d think she was some pushy opportunistic person, only too eager to hang onto her benighted spouse’s coat-tails. Absolute rubbish! We are talking here of the wife of one of... if not the... most prominent statesmen in the West.
A lady... yes a true lady who has selflessly put on hold a career as a loving mother to accompany her husband on his many first-class trips to some of the most important fleshpots of the world.
A lady who not only remains at her husband’s side while he ensures that Malta remains at the cutting-edge of world politics, but one who feels confident enough in her own skin to put her own unique stamp on world affairs.
For example, how many other Maltese second ladies can you name who have blossomed and preened in front of the camera at a New York fashion show?
So I say to all those Opposition hacks: Lay off her, jealousy is a most unattractive character trait.
And no – I haven’t entirely forsaken our charismatic and lovable (c and l) leader Jo-zeff for his other half this month. What about his dazzling performance at the UN recently? That, my friends, that was how a true statesman wows his peers. In a speech that was universally acclaimed as... adequate, he blew away his audience with a dissertation that ended with a spontaneous burst of applause that lasted a full five seconds.
Then straight back home to hob-nob with royalty at the 50th anniversary of some minor achievement or other. OK, it was only second division royalty, apparently his much more popular missis was too busy throwing up to make the trip, but royalty nonetheless.
So prosit Jo-zeff, a politician for all men... and women. And let’s face it, Jo-zeff and Mixx are the nearest thing we’ve got to our own royalty.
While I don’t want to give the impression that I believe everything Jo-zeff does is totally above reproach, about 99.99 per cent of it is
But the ineffectual terriers on the Oppo benches continue to snap vainly at the heels of our c and l capo. Now I see they are even trying to blame him for the delays in getting the new Parliament building ready for use. Oh purleeez! Who instigated the whole thing? Hallo! Are you living on this planet? Sometimes I despair of this country ever getting a properly functioning Opposition again.
And while I don’t want to give the impression that I believe everything Jo-zeff does is totally above reproach, about 99.99 per cent of it is. For example, did you see the way he deftly dealt with the illegal hunting issue?
Brilliant, there’s no other word for it! By banning all hunting until the 10th of last month, in one fell swoop, he dissed the entire illegal hunting mob, while still keeping the legal, responsible hunters on-side... well, some of them anyway.
Would you believe it? I now see that those under-employed hacks working for the Opposition media are turning on poor old Joe Mizzi for allegedly cocking-up the public transport issue. Again I have to say: Who began the mess? Of course it was the Opposition’s Manwel... aka Austin. So just lay off Joe, he’s doing his best... even if his best might well be somebody else’s worst.
And finally, what are the other lot thinking about in bemoaning the fact that Kon the con’s wondrous all-new floating power station is just a tad delayed.
Ha! Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it the Opposition – while in tenuous charge of the country – who built a liability of a totally inadequate white elephant down at Delimara? Guys, you all really do need to get lives.
