Partly Facetious: Poodle wins a third term

"So poodle won a historic third term."
"Yes but his majority was slashed by a century. Now that's quite a slash."
"It did humble him and he urged the nation to move on but still would not apologise for his war on Iraq."
"He did admit though that he understood the verdict of his people and that the Iraq issue had been divisive..."
"By the way did Musharraf ever admit that he had divided the nation sharply?"
"Never. Are you mad? This is tantamount to treason and you know what they do to treasonous people in this country?"
"Send them to live in a palace in Saudi Arabia or indeed start a dialogue when the need, political need that is, arises."
"Ah yes. But any way Musharraf has never acknowledged that supporting the US war on terror was divisive."
"No and that is the difference between our presidential system and the..."
"We don't have a presidential system."
"Read the seventeenth amendment and then tell me we don't have a presidential system."
"OK but on paper we don't have such a system."
"On paper you also have democracy. But anyway the US system is different because the president is always a civilian."
"Some generals did..."
"They were retired by the time they became president."
"That is certainly true."
"So the only problem between our system and the US is that we have a man who wears two hats."
"That's what our democracy dictates."
"Indeed, it does because without the COAS hat you can't wear the presidential hat though the reverse doesn't hold true. But it is unfortunate because while you can be old and still be a good president I don't think the same holds true for the post of COAS."
"Yes I guess. Maybe we need another constitutional amendment saying that a man over 70 should not be allowed to stay as COAS."
"Yes. So poodle remains."
"But for a short duration only. Brown has emerged the stronger. Analysts are saying that Labour won in spite of Blair and not because of him as in the past two elections."
"I could say that for so many of our politicians. You know as a matter of fact I would be hard pressed to name too many politicians who won elections on their own."
