#7 Posted by bulleya,

I have nothing against this gaddi-nasheen and alam-bardar of his illustrious sajjada-nasheen ancestors, except his disgusting subway-molesting attempt at brushing up on sherry rehman's boobs in a public rally, but do tell me the following:

What has he done for Multan in particular and South Punjab in general during the no less than 5 tenures he has had as an MNA, one as Speaker NA? Except spending time in A-Class jail?

#5 Posted by ijaz_gul,

Without central Punjab, anyone who wants to have the last laugh will have the last whimper.

But I do agree zardari has tried to pull a fast one by getting MQM into the coalition, whom PML-N abhors.

..i have been saying, for the past two years that three good choices for the position of PM would be imran khan, aitezaz ashan or yusuf raza gilani.......

yusuf raza - a name hitherto unmentioned on this site, by anyone other than me - ends up becoming the pm......

he is good choice......and will do well......he was jailed by musharraf for 4 1/2 years, without being convicted.....

anyways, when you spread the news about him being appointed as pm, do mention that you heard it first, two years ago, on radio b-u-l-l-e-y-a.....

Dear writer,

Mr Zardari has once again demonstrated his "deal making skills", but running the government, a political party, and keeping the army happy has yet to be tested. One can only wish him the best and hope things move in the right direction, having said running a political coalition and government will always be a difficult balancing act.

Re: # 2 Mr. Z should be grateful to AH.
He is generous to give benefit of doubt to Z and AH put pressure on General for NRO and saved mr Z. and Mrs B.
But chances are good that good deeds will be rewarded by punishment and disfranchising urban Sindhis. Hope as sign of peace offer CM ship to MQM and make sindh as sing of brotherhood and compromise.

He has certainly played his cards well. MQM was a move that took air out of Amin Fahim and Gilani out of Paghara. He has confirmed his anti establishment credentials.

Author,

Zardari’s political shrewdness, if not statesmanship, has succeeded in making the civil society and the media revive the earlier impressions about Zardari that his life begins and ends with money and horses, etc.

Shouldn't the highlighted word be 'revise'?
