"All those who thought that Salmaan Taseer was the President's man were clearly disabused of this thought."
"Some PML (N) people are still saying that the conspiracy to appoint him was hatched in the Army House."
"Maybe the conspiracy was hatched there but it was nurtured in Zardari House."
"I agree especially after I heard his speech after he took oath?"
"I missed that momentous event."
"He extolled the contributions made by Shaheed Z.A. Bhutto and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto and, most telling, said he will get Bilawal to win elections from the Punjab and make Punjab into Larkana."
"Dear, dear, what a silly thing to say!"
"I agree but you know he doesn't have a speech writer yet."
"Don't be facetious, he sent the message that he wanted sent, loud and clear."
"Anyway, I sincerely hope he doesn't turn Punjab into Larkana."
"You do realise that Benazir Bhutto won seats from Lahore and the PPP has won a substantial portion of seats from the Punjab this time around too? So Bilawal can win a seat from the Punjab, and easily."
"I meant it more literally, I don't want him to turn the whole of Punjab into Larkana because Larkana remains feudal and under-developed and what is most disturbing is the fact that the people of Larkana suffered a 30-hour power outage after a transformer developed a fault."
"The same couldn't be allowed in Lahore or other major Punjabi cities, I hope our new Governor realises that."
"I am not sure but this I can guarantee: he will switch off the air-conditioners from 8:00 am to 11:00 am as per the instructions of the Prime Minister."
"Who is the Prime Minister?"
"He is the top most executive in the country."
"No, he isn't, it's the two co-chairpersons as far as Taseer's speech was concerned."
"Ah yes, he got in a little late but as they say better late than never."
