Partly Facetious: Everyone is expendable except the co-chairman

"The Prime Minister gave an iftar party for journalists on Thursday."
Published August 27, 2011

"The Prime Minister gave an iftar party for journalists on Thursday."
"So? It's not unusual and if you are going to say that the money would have been better spent in providing food packages for the flood affected in Sindh then please give the poor guy a break!"
"OK, I guess he has to enjoy life sometime like everyone else. But at the function he was asked a question about his son's alleged involvement in the NICL scam."
"I heard and the Prime Minister said three things. First that the rather expensive vehicle gifted to his son predated the Hajj scandal by one year."
"Far be it for me to challenge the Prime Minister of this country, but isn't it usual for the gift to predate the scam being unearthed. My emphasis is that there is a difference between unearthing a scam and planning the scam and setting a series of events in motion that would shall we say unfairly benefit some to the detriment of the Hajis in this case and..."
"I am not going to answer that on the grounds that it would infuriate me."
"Why Gilani is expendable in the PPP? Everyone is expendable for that matter except the co-chairman."
"Second, it was a PML (N) chap who had made the accusation..."
"Those bad people the nawalas!"
"Don't be facetious, anyway the PM said that when the court called the accuser he acknowledged that his statement was based on hearsay."
"I am not going to say anything anymore, you don't listen."
"Good, I like it that way. And finally the PM also revealed that the court has instructed that a case be registered against the accuser and he wasn't sure but he said he thought a case had been registered against the accuser."
"I am still not saying anything!"
"As far as the PM is concerned, the matter is over but I am not sure how far this is accurate given the investigation being conducted by the reinstated Zafar Qureshi of the FIA."
"You know I marvel at this chap's wife."
"I don't think she is under threat - in the Subcontinent we may go after an enemy but we don't go after his/her children or spouse or indeed..."
"I see, so we allow our enemy's heirs to inherit from them."
"Absolutely."
