"You know The Khan can be a trail blazer..."
"That ain't happening any time soon."
"Change is needed in the party that promised change."
"Ha, ha, not likely in the short term; Buzdar sahib, the man who keeps away from women and now children after he went to visit the children orphaned by the Counter Terrorism force that comes under him, with flowers..."
"Does The Buzz have any children? And if so do they want flowers when they are in hospital - OK there is no comparison there..."
"The Buzz cannot deliver because he is....why he is what Shaukat Aziz was to Musharraf, with no powers and no capacity to hire or fire members of the cabinet and members of the bureaucracy...."
"Shaukat Aziz was allowed more powers than The Buzz....but do you reckon if The Buzz had been granted powers his delivery would have improved? I mean could The Buzz have emerged as Sharif Junior, you reckon?"
"The Buzz is very uncomfortable with women and so he is unlikely to acquire another wife so..."
"Don't be facetious, you know what I meant."
"The guy does not command respect, that moustache of his is just like Charlie Chaplin's and he tends to twitch it when facing a difficult question and..."

Did you mean renaming social sector programmes envisaged by his political rivals and taking ownership you know like the sehat card but this has been done by the leaders of the status quo parties; keeping good relations with the establishment but that too has been done in the past though not by Mian Nawaz Sharif during the end of his administration, what about..."
"Good heavens you are getting too technical. The Khan jogs every morning, unlike our former chief executives - civilian or military - and I would like to see cameras capture his early morning jog which is reminiscent of former US presidents and..."
"Does Trump jog?"
"No he plays golf, but he is a breed apart as you know, I mean of all the statements to make in the state of the union address he made the most outlandish statement ever namely the US would have been in war with North Korea had he not taken the diplomatic initiative with the North Korean leader - doesn't he know that it would take all of five minutes for the US to destroy North Korea?"
"Intelligent and highest office holders like Trump can get away with anything."
"Trump and The Khan?"
"Trump and The Khan and wipe that smile off your face."
