PARTLY FACETIOUS: The three stooges

"Do you think the three stooges are doing a good job?"

"You have to narrow it down? Which three stooges?"

"As far as I am concerned there are only the three."

"Well there is the much talked of troika and I won't mention the positions..."

"But the troika is never ever referred to as the three stooges!"

"I stand corrected; are you referring to the three stooges of Maryam Nawaz - Talal Chaudhary, Danial Aziz and Mohammad Zubair with the first two playing the role of Larry and Curly Joe respectively and the head honcho Moe is..."

"Just because Talal and Daniyal Aziz have been slapped around publicly doesn't mean they are not effective as...as....as"

"As what?"

"Tough one that, our former First Daughter needs to take the nation into confidence as to why she selected these two men..."

"And need I add The Khan needs to take the nation into confidence as to why he selected his three stooges - Moe as in Chauhan - like Moe he is into slapstick comedy but who is listening to him I ask you, not even the Khanzadehs..."

"What slapstick comedy?"

"His analysis of the PML-N dynamics is becoming too ridiculous, and you know his focus highlights the Khanzadeh dynamics....."

"Chauhan will elucidate on Khanzadeh dynamics after he changes parties."

"Ha, ha, indeed but don't you think Sheikh Rashid is Moe, and Chauhan Larry while The Fish, and I am referring to Gill, keeps opening and shutting its mouth like all fish do..."

"Why such antipathy against these three men who grace our televisions sets every day for hours and hours; I mean they provide comic relief for us and..."

"Its too much exposure, they provide boredom now - besides the antipathy is because they are not responding to Nawaz Sharif allegations but engaging in deflecting strategy by hurling their own accusations which seriously have no credibility coming from their mouths....we need the proverbial horse's mouth to...."

"But isn't ignoring the charges and leveling their own..."

"Not working my friend, not working, and I would urge the powers that be to assess the capacity of The Khan's media team and take matters into their own hands..."

"There I agree."
