They can't find a sweet spot between promoting themselves and bashing the other. They cannot find a sweet spot between being humble and going way over the top. They cannot find a sweet spot between private and public.
More then anything, they cannot find a sweet spot between taking things lightly and taking themselves way to seriously.
And they really do take themselves too seriously. Just look at the current
Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi yesterday called for a sincere verdict from the 800 or so PN councillors who later this month are expected to vote in a leadership contest that will likely only have him as a candidate. (source: Times of Malta)"that will likely only have him as a candidate"... "that will likely only have him as a candidate".
Really, I can't stress that stroke of comedy genius quite enough. And funnily, (or should I say scarily), the Nationalist drones are still taking this whole charade seriously.
After all, why is he calling this election anyway? Any honest-to-self politician anywhere in the world would have immediately resigned once the parliamentary majority is lost. He has truly failed, miserably, at his job. Does he honestly think the country needs him so badly? Does he have such a high opinion of himself that he will contest an internal election for which he's the only candidate, North Korea style?
