Partly Facetious: if Zardari loses popularity PPP unlikely to attract voters

"President Zardari has made it to top five."
"I am glad. He has been much maligned and everything that is going wrong is being laid at his doorstep and that just isnt fair. I mean given our propensity to vote for the personality of the leader its important to note that his party did emerge as the largest party post-Benazir Bhutto which must mean that the people voted for him as co-chairperson of the party and then he was democratically elected as President and..."
"So, what list do you think he made?"
"The list of democratically elected presidents in this country..."
"Hey thats no big deal. Even Musharraf claims he was democratically elected from the parliament - OK, so he kinda messed up with the parliament and the judiciary but the fact remains that he was democratically elected."
"Dont be facetious."
"OK, but that wasnt the list I was referring to."
"Did he make the list of those who inherited what we all thought was a mature party? Inheriting a party is purely a sub-continent phenomenon. There are the Bengali ladies and then there is Sonia Gandhi, Benazir herself and now Zardari."
"No, he didnt make that list either. Besides our political parties are hardly mature...and as you said before parties are leader based. So if the president loses popularity the PPP is unlikely to attract voters."
"So which list did he make?"
"He was ranked fifth amongst those who were labelled as people we must have the least sympathy for."
"Who made the list?"
"Arent you going to ask who else made the list?
"I didnt ask who made the list? I am asking who compiled the list?"
"The Foreign Policy magazine, a rather influential..."
"We must ban it. Lets destroy all copies..."
"Hey, people can access it on the internet."
"I simply cant deal with modern communication technology."
