Partly Facetious: Zardari must rein in Farzana and Taseer both

10 Sep, 2008

"Jemima Khan wrote in the Telegraph - a British newspaper."
"Indeed and need I add she is qualified to write against Zardari and his credentials."
"And the qualification is based on the fact that she probably has as many degrees as she claims Zardari has!"
"Don't be facetious."
"I am not being facetious. She wrote that Zardari claimed he had a degree from the London School of Economics or the London School of Business Studies and that neither institution claims him an alumni."
"This is the first I heard of Zardari having studied in the UK. I had heard he is an FA pass and..."
"Anyway that's not important - the important fact is that he is our President and has been democratically elected."
"I agree - you can't do an America on this."
"Do an America?"
"Support democracy when it gives victory to someone you like and reject it otherwise."
"That's right - that is precisely what the US did with respect to Hamas and let's not forget Musharraf."
"Indeed so if Zardari is what the democratic process got us then we must accept it."
"Agreed."
"Similarly if Shahbaz Sharif is what the democratic process got us in the Punjab then too we must accept it."
"Hey, I am willing to accept it but there is Taseer and Farzana something or the other who talks non-stop and it's not as if she is making any sense, it's just that she gives no opportunity to anyone else to put in a word edgewise."
"Right, these two are threatening the Punjab government."
"Zardari must rein them both in."
"He is unhappy with Taseer sources say but then to get Farzana to keep quiet long enough for her to listen is a challenge I guess."
