"A picture is worth a thousand words."
"How profound my friend! This proverb has been with us since almost the time when photographs began to be published."
"Sometimes one has to say the obvious!"
"Or the not so obvious!"
"Sorry?"
"The not so obvious is with respect to politicians as their definition of truth may not conform to the generally held view. And within politicians there is no unanimity of views though post-Eighteenth Amendment the views of party members are synonymous with the views of the party leader."
"Don't indulge in politician bashing. There are other groups that are engaged in selectivity."
"OK, but when I said that a picture is worth a thousand words I was referring to the latest picture released by the PPP where the President is seated between a former prime Minister and the incumbent a day before the latter was to appear in court."
"This goes to show that Gilani is not a spent force."
"Or its thumbs down to the Supreme Court! But I don't care who the message was for I just noted that Gilani is not comfortable."
"He is not comfortable maybe because of his suit, I mean given that the party leader and the incumbent prime minister wore the national dress Gilani was the odd one out."
"Gilani is the odd one out because he has no power anymore my friend not because he wears a suit."
"OK, but you have to admit that Raja does not look very comfortable either, he has his hands folded in his lap and his legs crossed..."
"About the crossing of legs..."
"Before you say anything let me remind you that the guy is our Prime Minister. Anyway what I wanted to say was the incumbent prime minister's posture was to take as little space as possible like the former prime minister while President Zardari is not operating within any such constraint."
"Ah, yes indeed. I get your point."
