"So what's up?"
"There is unprecedented collaboration between the federal government and the Punjab government."
"And that surprises you? I mean which planet do you live on?"
"I live on planet Sharif."
"If by that you are implying that the entire Sharif family is benefiting from the electoral win of the party under the unchallenged and need I add unchallengeable leadership of Mian Nawaz Sharif then let me remind you that many of the Sharifs came through the electoral process, however flawed, and..."
"What about the Senators?"
"Senators are selected by the party leader and their selection is in direct proportion to their loyalty or shall we say perception of loyalty by the party leader and before you say anything else be reminded that the Zardari led-Zardis are more prominent in our Upper House today then any other party..."
"Yep, and that is what had led many an analyst to refer to Zardari sb as a PhD in politics."
"So is the degree still current or has it transformed into a Babar Awan PhD?"
"Oh, you are bad, but anyway just to set the record straight. When I referred to collaboration between the federal and Punjab government I was actually referring to their love affair..."

"Nah, that is a no, no too..."
"I concede defeat anyway I suspect collaboration with respect to what the post-tribunal decisions are gearing up for: hotly contested seats and..."
"If you believe Pervez Rashid there is to be no contest..."
"I would like to advise Maryam Nawaz to rein in Pervez Rashid - the guy's logic has flown the coop so to say! And given that he is by far the most reinable guy in the party...."
"Reinable...?"
"A man who does exactly as ordered and if you have listened to his comments in recent days surely you would be compelled to conclude that he has already ceded his reins of logic to someone who is not that in tune with the outcome of illogic on a city electorate..."
"The election result will tell who is right and who is wrong?"
"The Khan and party thought his wife could make the party win in Haripur and then viola: a resounding electoral defeat."
"You reckon Pervez Rashid is PML-N's Mrs Khan?"
"Hmmmm."
