Partly Facetious: One of Zardari's weaknesses is Rahman Malik

"There is something about Sarkozy that I always liked?"
"You sure it's Sarkozy you like and not his very attractive wife Carla Bruni?"
"Well, OK, she is by far the most attractive first spouse today but I do like Sarkozy as well."
"Why, because he gave a helicopter to our President as a good will gesture, thereby enabling him not to waste too much time while reviewing his estate in France?"
"Hey, can't you lay off the President? With you it's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't! He is the most maligned..."
"Nope, Berlusconi is the most maligned elected man ever! He has survived fifty votes of no confidence against him, he has..."
"OK, but it is our President's negotiations with coalition partners that account for no votes of confidence being tabled against his government..."
"That's very true. But..."
"There is no but. Accept his strengths and not only his weaknesses."
"Well, one of his weaknesses is Rahman Malik and another..."
"These gentlemen are his strengths my friend."
"But..."
"They viciously attack opposition members and unnerve then while they actively pursue coalition partners..."
"But they are not well liked and may lose elections for the PPP..."
"They will disappear before the next elections so if you don't see some Senators loyal to the PPP talking for any length of time you know that elections are near."
"I guess, but what was it about Sarkozy that you liked?"
"His statement to Obama that Netanyahu was a liar."
"But he made that statement to Obama in confidence, it's just that journalists overheard it..."
"Still significant I say."
"I disagree, apparently none of the Western leaders actually like Netanyahu but their policy does not change in favour of the Palestinians."
"Sad that!"
