Partly Facetious : Where was Hamza Sharif?

"So where was Hamza? Why didn't he embrace his father after he was declared the President of the party?"
"Acting President my friend, there may still be a slip between the cup and the lip if you know what I mean."
"Nah, I think not. Who sat next to who is the key! The Two Sharif Brothers with a capital S sat next to each other. Our lisping lollipop interim prime minister did not sit next to either brother, and that my friend shows that he may be demoted to a federal minister in the next cabinet if the party wins the next elections and..."
"That's not called a demotion, that's called returning to a state of balance."
"Don't be facetious, anyway the Two Cousins sat next to each other on a three-seater sofa with the middle seat unoccupied though it could have accommodated a man as fat as...as fat as..."
"Achakzai is overweight or is it the comfort shawl that he wraps around himself summer or winter?"
"Comfort shawl!"
"Yep, there is also a comfort turban, then there is comfort..."
"Don't be facetious. Anyway Maryam embraced her uncle after he was selected as the interim president and where was Hamza is all I ask? I mean once the three-seater sofa scene ended he disappeared from the photographs."
"A son trumps a niece and doesn't have to make any overt gesture..."
"Right, and a daughter trumps a bother."
"And Mr Trump trumps all right."
"Where did that come from?"
"From the joker who said the US was trying to embarrass us, with reference to Financial Action Task Force decision."
"Hey, don't take our interim cabinet members and advisors seriously, once the Sharifs turn their attention towards the state of the country's economics and politics, I mean other than their own, then all will be well. The Sharifs may act stupid but they are not."
"I am reminded of what Bertrand Russell said: our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature made them."
"And there is George Bernard Shaw's proverb: he knows nothing; and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career."
"Ah indeed, but these two wise men made comments that were not gender neutral and I tell you Maryam Nawaz Sharif may well have the last laugh."
"Unless the court..."
"The last laugh I tell you, whether in a location somewhere in Pakistan or Avenfield flats."
"I give up."
