Partly Facetious: A party is not an army

"So who amongst our politicians is a PhD these days?"
"What do you mean these days? I don't know of any politician, Pakistani or non-Pakistani who enrolls into a PhD programme after he becomes a politician."
"So, once a politician there is no room for higher learning?"
"Higher learning is in government, you know on the job training - the rest is about ideology and creating a utopia..."
"Oh I get it! That's why former President Asif Ali Zardari (AAZ) said that he would give the party to the younger generation to run and keep the government with himself and his lieutenant Qaim Ali Shah (QAS)..."
"I know you are being facetious but that is correct. However, to clarify a lieutenant is one who follows orders and no one but no one in the jiyala hierarchy can compare with QAS in following orders. Not a single big name defended AAZ from virulent attacks by Zulfikar Mirza but a number of non-entities who held a press conference which is why AAZ is so dismissive of his core committee members...."
"A party is not an army to blindly follow..."
"I know you can never be a politician anyway the only PhD I know of is Shireen Mazari."
"I thought she actually has a PhD degree?"
"Right, isn't that your question?"
"This is Pakistan you silly! I asked about honorary degrees, you know Rehman Malik has an honorary degree though the PhD degree conferred on his boss AAZ was conferred by the media as he withstood one challenge to his government after the other and did complete the five years..."
"I hear the media is revoking the degree..."
"I would revoke the self-conferred degree in political analysis of the media - I mean as Zardari sahib was pushing the party into oblivion during the five years of his rule his survival for those five years was cited as the basis for the degree..."
"Ah, that's not doable - the media has the last laugh or in this case the last word."
