  • Comments Off on Partly Facetious: Shahbaz the next PM?
"So banners in Lahore urging Nawaz Sharif to Let Be and allow Shahbaz Sharif to become the Prime Minister?"

"I have always liked Shahbaz Sharif more than the older brother, he is more dapper, less boring, much less boring, and even though he wears Panama hats, he kind of stands out amongst rather boringly dressed politicians and that includes The Khan..."

"And wears Panama hats... you reckon he was wearing a Panama hat to bring it home to the people the difference between the two brothers."

"Oye, back off... why do you want the two to fight! And besides this banner is based on ifs and buts, if Mian sahib is disqualified and if so for how long, if he decides to allow his younger brother to take over for an interim period, which expires before 2018 elections, or for a longer period in which case I doubt if the Nawalas currently in the cabinet are going to be there for long and for your information the Junior Sharif does not always wear a Panama hat, sometimes it's a Fedora, at other times..."

"But never an army hat...And who is responsible for the banners?"

"I am not sure but someone who I would imagine paid good money unlike the Islamabad Mayor who used our tax money to flood the city with banners eulogizing Nawaz Sharif and..."

"Ah, so it is important to find the money trail for the banners but perhaps that too is a revolving fund and the source will be a challenge to determine..."

"Don't be facetious."

"I propose a Joint Investigation Team..."

"Oh shush. How likely is it for Shahbaz Sharif to be the heir replacing Maryam Nawaz?"

"Not likely, at least not likely in the mind and heart of the elder Sharif so put that in your pipe and smoke it. But I have one advice for the younger Sharif: sort out the Model Town case cause it will come back to haunt you, Pakistan 2017 is not the same Pakistan of 1999 and ensure that Hudaibiya case is never ever opened and he needs to hire better lawyers."

"Maybe and maybe provide them with some ammunition..."

"Hush, we are eliminating terrorism and this gun culture..."

"Oh stop being so facetious."
