"Is President Zardari angry with Rehman Malik?"
"So I hear."
"How come?"
"It couldn't be because lawlessness in the land has become worse in the past four and a half years?"
"If performance was a factor, the President would have been upset at Malik long before now! And Malik would not be the only one if you know what I mean!"
"Hey, the Prime Minister says he is happy with the PPP government's performance."
"And so he should be - his son in law is now in a lucrative post in Washington DC and mind you, he will be recalled as soon as Raja sahib is deposed..."
"That is only a matter of months."
"King for a day is worth a thousand days as a real estate man."
"Don't be facetious, so why is the President angry at Malik"
"Maybe Rehman Malik told the President he was eating an apple while eating a banana."
"So how did the President find out that he was eating a banana?"
"There are many, some say all Zardis who would only be too happy to let the President know, but I don't think Rehman Malik claimed he was eating a banana while eating an apple while on the phone to the President."
"Malik said it while in the President's presence?"
"So I heard."
"He couldn't be that stupid!"
"Habits are difficult to break....and lets be honest only Rehman Malik could alienate the President, I don't think any one else, even a close Zardi, would have succeeded in making the President angry at him."
"Right, I remember Zulfiqar Mirza, President Zardari's closest friend, who publicly attacked Malik and yet Malik remained very close to the President."
"True, so what did Malik do?"
"He requested Bilawal and MQM chief Altaf Hussain to put in a good word for him."
"And did they?"
"I am not sure, but the President has not forgiven him, or so I heard."
"So is he out as our Interior Minister?"
"As I said before, do not count your chickens before they are hatched cause the chickens maybe pigs who cant fly!"
"You are so full of it!"
