Partly Facetious: Democracy is the best revenge?
"So Mian sahib conceded defeat!"
"So did Zardari sahib in one sense."
"What are you? Under training from Pervez Rashid to promptly counter attack?"
"Our politicians certainly don't conform to the theory that revenge is a dish best served cold."
"Nah, they want it piping hot."
"I guess that proverb applies to Anglo-Saxons not Punjabis while the PPPP leadership never tires of quoting their slain leader's aphorism, democracy is the best revenge!"
"But democracy entails opposition while lets be honest the real opposition in this country's popularly elected leaders is the establishment."
"What are you talking about?"
"The raid on 90 in Karachi to me implies that perhaps just perhaps Mian sahib knew about it in advance and that would have meant the MQM would not vote for the PML-N candidate..."
"PML-N as well as PPP's candidate, I mean the captain of the clean Karachi operation is Qaim Ali Shah, OK we know that captain is perhaps as relevant in decision making as our cricket captain with the real power exercised by a member of the Board like in the Pakistan Cricket Board... "
"Politics, politics, everywhere and ne'er a drop of hope for institutions!"
"I reckon the MQM would have abstained from participating in the Senate elections but why are we talking of revenge today. You should be happy that Mian sahib endorsed Rabbani's candidacy for Senate Chairman irrespective of whether he had the numbers or not..."
"He didn't have the numbers, Mian sahib's penchant for not forgiving and forgetting stood him in bad stead or so I hear."
"Yes, but he bowed out gracefully."
"Grace would have been an element if the PML-N front line attackers had not launched their campaign to woo opposition senators."
"Hey, the learning process is slow, I mean how long does it take to pass out of high school leave alone university?"
"There I agree with you."
