"Mian Sahib is trying to distance Zardari from his Bhuttohood. Not fair." "Don't be facetious. There is no Bhuttohood in Zardari. He may be their political heir but that is about all." "He was married to Ms Bhutto for over 20 to 21 years. If you are trying to tell me no Bhuttohood rubbed off on him, I don't believe you. Besides you should be more gender neutral. A woman is known by her husband's family so why not a husband!"
"Well, let's be honest. Eleven out of the 20 years he was in jail right?" "So?" "And the last year or two of his release he was in the US while Ms Bhutto was in Dubai. Right?" "So now we are arguing about how long does one have to be physically living with anyone to imbibe some of their character?" "I am not being facetious as you seem to be implying. I think that Zardari has a lot in common with say his father in law."
"Oh come on. Bhutto was a highly educated man, a lawyer who could interpret the constitution, and he created his own political party." "Ah but we all have our own destiny. And I still maintain that Zardari did suffer on account of being married to Benazir Bhutto and each year of his incarceration is equivalent to three years of normal couples living together."
"What is with you?"
"Well for one Zardari is a Bhutto in one name at least?"
"What in the world are you referring to?"
"Remember their names: Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari."
"Yes I do remember. So?"
"Ali is common to both."
"Man!"
"That is more than what we can say of most other father and sons in law."
"I give up."
