“The US airwaves are focused on the reasons why Kamala Harris chose Tim Walz as her running mate.”

“Right and all Democrats are praising her decision, reminds me of the time when The Man Who Must Remain Nameless and Faceless was the prime minister. All stakeholders were praising all his decisions – the good, the bad and the ugly.”

“The lobbyists who are from all walks of life and who slavishly praise the decisions of the prime minister, and in the event of his downfall, shift their loyalties in less time than it takes to…to…”

“And she was not a popular vice president and whatever she touched, particularly immigration, she turned to metal…”

“I say again the US is going our route – the Greedy for Portfolios Samdhi is still a member of the cabinet in spite of the damage he did to the economy, the Brown pope is still chairing the Pakistan Cricket Board even after our team’s ignominious defeat and don’t forget his other hat, the Interior Ministry is on autopilot…”

“I resent that! It isn’t on autopilot. We have The ten-year visionary, Ahsan Iqbal, The Khawaja and the man with the most annoying voice of an Information Minister ever dealing with the protests and the….”
