"So what does President Zardari think?"
"He, true to his style, opted for overkill."
"Whatever do you mean? The Presidential spokesman as well as Babar Awan merely stated that the onus of proof about his alleged wealth is on the accuser and not on the accused. This means that if you think the President is a billionaire, in dollars, then you prove it."
"I believe the proof is available with Wajid Shamsul Hassan the Pakistan High Commission in London."
"Well, get it out of him then if you can! I am not sure what you can force him to do as I believe he has dual nationality."
"But as a functionary of the government, paid by my tax money how in the world..."
"Welcome to Pakistani democracy, but what did you mean when you referred to the President opting for an overkill?"
"Did you see photographs of his meeting with Mike Mullen? He had the Quaid's picture in the background on the wall, but then he has one picture of his wife on the side table..."
"Hey, back off! He is allowed that! He has a personal life and most of us have photographs of our dear ones on side tables."
"I am not arguing with that. I am merely pointing out that on the other side table he has another photograph of the Quaid. That's an overkill by any standards."
"Maybe a photograph of his children would have been more appropriate but it's not against the law."
"No, I guess you are right. Besides to qualify as a candidate for a possible display of photograph around President Zardari you have to be dead."
"Don't be facetious."
"Seriously, he has no photographs of any one who is alive."
"He used to have his own photograph on the wall besides that of his wife's in the old days when he thought the presidency was his to do with whatever he liked..."
"Man! You never give up do you?"
