"So Haroon Akhtar Khan is what?"
"I don't think his appointment was in aid of strengthening the Musharraf gang in the cabinet."
"But the list of Musharrafites in the Cabinet is growing - Zahid Hamid, the no longer so endearing Marvi Memon, the..."
"You know the Musharrafites who become nawalas somehow lose their political stature and it's because Mian sahib reckons they make good attack guards..."
"I resent that!"
"Well, Mian sahib has let loose some of his merry men and women to attack the Khan, these days it's just the Khan really..."
"I would give one word of advice to the Khan? Better squash rumours of bliss or its lack thereof in Bani Gala or else some residents who shall remain nameless may be recruited by the PML-N and..."
"Oh shush, don't heed rumours - what I meant when I referred to Haroon Akhtar Khan flanking Dar sahib during the post-budget press conference where Dar sahib came out smelling not of roses but of...of..."
"Not urea my dear, he has taken care of urea manufacturers in the budget."
"Don't be facetious. I reckon that Haroon Akhtar Khan is checkmate for Dar sahib and the checkmate rook was placed in position by the younger Sharif - I believe it's an attempt to bring the deputy prime minister to size!"

"But circular debt is part of the budget - I mean otherwise the gap between generation capacity and actual generation may well be even more than the 9000MW."
"Dar sahib doesn't accept responsibility for that."
"I guess he blames it on the boogie."
"Ha, ha, ha and the boogie in this case is Khwaja Asif and company."
"Such good performers all!"
"Don't you dare be facetious?"
