"Sharmeen Obaid has really done us proud."
"Indeed she has, her talent and the choice of subject of her documentary, has done us all proud!"
"Gilani tried to get on her successful bandwagon and announced a civilian award for her."
"Gilani's bandwagon needs another horse."
"I am sorry?"
"His counsel, Aitzaz Ahsan, urged the court to summon Babar Awan and Chishti as witnesses and Babar Awan has reportedly refused."
"Two things: first of all, Ahsan did not submit his reply, as requested by the court, so this is a technical input and if I may add it will delay matters. Those who accused Babar Awan of similar tactics would be well-advised to take note of this. And second, Aitzaz Ahsan should have first cleared it with the witnesses and need I add his failure to do so..."
"Maybe attributable to the Prime Minister's perception that he can convince Babar Awan to do whatever he suggests."
"A Babar Awan who is in the political wilderness..."
"He isn't in the political wilderness - he is a candidate for the Senate."
"But the Senate elections are on March 2 and the PM's case is earlier so..."
"Ah yes, could be tit for tat but the point is that only the President has sufficient powers to convince Babar Awan to do something that he doesn't want to do, or such is my perception."
"Well, Gilani is expendable, always was and always will be notwithstanding what Asifa Zardari wrote on her page."
"I agree there. So would the President direct Babar Awan..."
"Awan says he can't be a witness given that he actually pled the same case in the court."
"I am not a lawyer so I don't know but surely Aitzaz Ahsan should have known that!"
"Hey, I am not going to say anything else. All I can say is thank you Sharmeen, thank you...and if you want to join politics I, for one, will vote for you."
"I give up."
