ARTICLE: "The Buzz went when summoned by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) without any protocol."
"Who said?"
"Really! Is that what you zero in on?"
"In politics my friend, it's not what one says but who says what."
"Probably Chauhan said it, the all knowing Pakistan Tehrik-i-Isaaf's Moe, the character with the most power in the Three Stooges series..."
"I thought Shahzad Akber, with the slowly but inexorably expanding girth, was PTI's Moe."
"I disagree, C Moe - the C stands for Chauhan - anyway C Moe's terms of reference is to disinform us the taxpayers and he has no other term of reference while S as in Shahzad Moe does not only have to attack the opposition but has to provide proof, that requires work, and show results and two years down the line the results are lacking and..."
"Alright, but going back to The Buzz he went without protocol..."
"How do you define protocol?"
"Using his own personal as opposed to an official car, not using the official driver, and..."
"Protocol is a stream of cars, ranging from 15 to over 30, stuffed full of our law enforcement personnel that accompany official position holders..."
"I disagree and insist that The Buzz had protocol - he came in an official air-conditioned land cruiser driven by an official driver......"
"I know for a fact that Wasim Akram would have used the official car but driven himself so in that respect The Buzz is Wasim Akram plus."
"Don't be facetious, but anyway what I saw on the television, shown again and again was something that disturbed me."
"I know the fact that NAB had the audacity to ask him questions about his and his family's wealth and he had no answers I hear...."
"It's these dratted lawyers I tell you, I mean no comment is what they insist their clients..."
"Oh I see, so Zardari sahib and Nawaz Sharif and The Buzz...hey that makes The Buzz Zardari plus or Nawaz Sharif plus..."
"Don't you dare - anyway that is not what I meant. What I meant was that I saw in the footage The Buzz peremptorily indicating that the car door be opened for him and..."
"It's not his fault; the first thing that such a position confers on anyone is demanding some little protocol..."
"There is that word again."
"My mistake, not protocol but its rude not to open the car door for a man who has abandoned protocol and..."
"Indeed."
