"Zardari is good one on one."
"I heard Zardari can charm the birds out of their trees, on a one on one."
"Well, he did charm Benazir out of her rather high tree - a prospect that many others tried before him - so you have to give the guy credit for that."
"I do, I certainly do but we are told he is very bad at giving a speech to more than twenty, unless it be a Jiyala only gathering."
"I get it but he will learn in time. All our presidents started off being very poor in terms of speech delivery but in time learnt the ropes so to speak."
"Speech delivery he may well improve but what worried me about Zardari is the content. He has now made three speeches, one to the joint sitting of parliament..."
"And I agree that was extremely poor on content."
"As well as delivery, he was fumbling. And why did he have to speak in English, I know BB was better in English than Urdu but one can't say the same of Zardari.
"I guess."
"And the second speech was his address to the nation after the Marriott bomb blast."
"That's the fault of the PTV people - no editing was done."
"The editors must be fired."
"Or the man in charge, the newly Zardari appointed PTV MD."
"He was sabotaged, I mean that guy is not going to edit at his level."
"If it's your benefactor you have to."
"I see and the third time I guess Zardari bungled was in his speech at the UN."
"Precisely."
"So now what?"
"His handlers need to work on his speech content as well as delivery."
"So basically fire the old speech writer."
"Absolutely, and a word of advice to President Zardari: a gora speech writer may write without grammatical errors, though fumbling can take that away from a speech too, but he can't totally grasp the national sensitivities."
"So we need a Brown Sahib."
"Yes."
