Complete bafflement

I'm just completely baffled by this piece of code I just found in one of our classes:

	int escalated = 0, regular = 0, requeue = 0;
	for (LanguageMessageCountType languageMessageCountType : LanguageMessageCountType.values()) {
	switch (languageMessageCountType) {
	case ESCALATED:
	escalated = languageQueue.getEscalatedMessagesCount();
	keyValuesMap.put(languageMessageCountType.name(), String.valueOf(escalated));
	break;
	case REGULAR:
	regular = languageQueue.getRegularMessagesCount();
	keyValuesMap.put(languageMessageCountType.name(), String.valueOf(regular));
	break;
	case REQUEUE:
	requeue = languageQueue.getRequeuedMessagesCount();
	keyValuesMap.put(languageMessageCountType.name(), String.valueOf(requeue));
	break;
	default:
	break;
	}
	}
	keyValuesMap.put(TOTAL.name(), String.valueOf(escalated + regular + requeue));

Seriously, what the fuck is that about? How is that clearer, cleaner, better or more reliable than just making the three calls in a row? I can understand trying to refactor it out into something more clever and more expressive, but this is just wordy crap that obscures what you're doing.

Some days, I despair ...
