"In an interview to Time magazine Musharraf says he will return to the country because the country needs him."
"The country needs him like I need a con man to take my money."
"Are you referring to the Federal Board of Revenue as the con man?"
"Don't be facetious. The FBR can only suggest, its either the President through the passage of an ordinance or parliament that can con you out of your money."
"Yep, if con is defined as taxing the already taxed while ensuring that the rich landlords, those sitting in parliament, as well as the cabinet as well as in the Presidency do not pay a tax on their income."
"Don't get too excited anyway what you say doesn't interest me, not today."
"I know you are wondering at the sheer stupidity of the decision announced by the President's spokesman and parroted by the cabinet that the President would file a reference against the judicial murder of the late Z A Bhutto."
"Why is it stupid? I have on good authority that the legal brains of the government got together and came up with this and Article 186 of the constitution allows the President to file a reference..."
"Z A Bhutto was convicted of murder - whether rightly or wrongly is not actually what Article 186 deals with. In other words the government should file a review of the judgment of murder against the late Bhutto first. Anyway I am not interested in that either."
"Are you interested in the call of the cabinet, or shall I say re-parroting of the cabinet of what the President stated during the joint sitting of parliament with respect to a US pastor. Like the President the cabinet called on the US government and the UN..."
"I propose the UN to take the case. They can make another ten million or so from this government. Anyway this doesn't interest me either, not today."
"Don't be facetious. But if this topic doesn't interest you then perhaps the Indo-Pak dialogue interests you? Or are you incensed at Rehman Malik's warning to the team."
"Good heavens no, Malik is known to put his foot in his mouth when ever he speaks, other than with the MQM."
"So you propose that we induct some MQM supporters into the cricket team and that might shut up our Interior Minister?'
"Don't be facetious but that is what I am focused on today...cricket match and I hope we win."
"Amen. At last on one platform the country is united."
