Partly Facetious: Separating the hawks from the doves
"It is so easy to manipulate the PML (N)."
"Hawks and doves alike?"
"What?"
"When you talk of it being easy to manipulate PML (N) I asked you if it was just as easy to manipulate PML (N) hawks, and here I refer to Shahbaz Sharif and Chaudhry Nisar, as well as the PML (N) doves and I refer to..."
"But didn't these two hawks present opposing views recently?"
"I don't think so."
"Shahbaz Sharif said that the PML (N) will launch a long march against the government's non-compliance with Supreme Court decisions three times..."
"Hey, that may freak out the younger Sharif's wife, but I doubt if it has had any impact on the PPP."
"Where does his wife come in?"
"A man can divorce his wife by so stating three times. Isn't that part of our Islamic law?"
"Don't be facetious. The younger Sharif was in all probability not thinking of his latest wife but to emphasise..."
"Oh for Pete's sake, it's not important. What is important is that the other hawk, Chaudhry Nisar, hummed and hawed about the long march and said that the party has still to discuss..."
"Right, so the friendly opposition is still on track."
"Correct. Anyway, what I wanted to say when I said PML (N) is easy to manipulate is that only one name can distract them from topics relating to poor ongoing governance, from daily scams costing the tax payers billions of rupees, the misappropriations with the Prime Minister sanctioning billions of rupees to build flats/houses for parliamentarians while begging internationally for money for the flood victims..."
"Did you hear what Angelina Jolie actually thought of the Prime Minister?"
"Yes, that he could be an actor in Hollywood and that she is not aware of corruption in the government and..."
"She apparently expressed disgust, as the PM's executive order to fly his family from Multan to meet with her, at state expense, and then to give her a sumptuous meal instead of sending the food to the flood victims and..."
"That will hurt our PM. But anyway people are not letting him exercise his executive orders other than those that relate to his close family and close jail colleagues and so..."
"Don't be facetious."
