"So now what?"
"Now we pray that we don't lose that badly."
"What are you talking about?"
"I am referring to the ignominious defeat of our cricket team in South Africa."
"Pardon me for saying it but we all have a bit of Zulfiqar Mirza in us."
"That man has been out of the news for a very long time and it's not fair to him to resurrect his ghost so to speak."
"His ghost never required resurrection, just look at who got the PPP ticket from his constituency."
"OK, so it's all in the family but that is as it should be. Families are important and Zulfiqar Mirza is not our family so how can you say there is a bit of Mirza in all of us?"
"Because my friend we are quick to blame and denigrate. And attributing blame and denigrating people doesn't achieve anything. All those Mirza didn't like are right up there with the President."
"Yes, but so are Mirza's family members."
"True, but that's our politics. Anyway I was simply trying to forestall your next statement, maligning our cricket team and..."
"Well yes, but at the same time the cricket team has a bit of Mirza as well, highly temperamental, no consistency, giving up with one hand to take with the other, and yes I am referring to his family and..."
"I know one fellow who doesn't do that."
"Aitzaz Ahsan..."
"Anyone who is left in the boondocks after his earlier resurrection, is hardly a good example. Even Gilani has not hired him as his lawyer for his plea that his disqualification be set aside."
"Right, but was the issue one of competence?"
"I am not sure but all Ahsan got out of it was a senatorship and one rupee wasn't it?"
"Yeah, but the sentorship was worth a lot... so who is the calm one? Rehman Malik can take abuse but he isn't quite calm or collected."
"I was referring to Naek."
"If only the PPP had more Naeks."
"I agree, the party has too many Wattoos and Gilanis and Rajas with high expectations and..."
"Hush."
