"Mussolini's granddaughter has thanked Berlusconi."
"Indeed - he gave diamond rings or something to all the female parliamentarians."
"All woman parliamentarians or only those who voted in his favour when he won the vote of confidence by, I think, three votes?"
"I am not sure. However I am sure you know that Allesandra Mussolini is a former actress as well as a model."
"Berlusconi type of woman parliamentarian I believe - beauty and style and..."
"And need I add different from Zardari type of woman parliamentarian!"
"Agreed, though I understand one was an air hostess for the national flag carrier!"
"A former profession that she doesn't want to talk about I hear. Besides an air hostess is known for hospitality not for beauty or brains."
"Well, to be honest some of our PIA hostesses are not even all that good with hospitality."
"Right, you are but let me add that instead of dismissing Allesandra Mussolini as a good looking woman, let me inform you that she is a graduate and has a master's degree as well."
"Hey our politicians get elected with or without degrees so that comparison is a no-brainer if you will."
"But, has she benefited from being Mussolini's grand-daughter?"
"Mussolini is not that highly regarded by history if you know what I mean."
"But her family does have a political past and whether she likes it or not she has been labelled as having fascist ideas and..."
"Where are you going with this?"
"That political inheritance can be a baggage as well as a boon."
"From where I am sitting political inheritance is a big boon..."
"Maybe it will change with the third generation!"
"Maybe it will but till such a time you make sure that all leaders do leave behind a last will and testament with respect to their political inheritance."
"We have a democracy and..."
"And you don't understand democracy a la Pakistani style."
