Partly Facetious: I still hold Nawaz responsible

ARTICLE: "I hold Nawaz Sharif responsible for what is happening today!"

"Do you think it's fair? The guy was disqualified three years ago, has been in jail for... OK, but transitioning from jail to London's posh residential area is not something a guy in jail can maneuver without state support."

"Right, but I still hold him responsible."

"The Khan has been in power for two years and out of a five year term that is 40 percent of the time gone and..."

"I still blame Nawaz Sharif."

"How? Why?"

"For one Nawaz Sharif used to read from a written statement at international fora...of particular ridicule by The Khan and indeed also by many of us was his reading a statement after his meeting with Obama - how could he have a prepared speech immediately after a meeting with Obama is my question, I mean I can understand a prepared speech at the United Nations or at some other..."

"Nawaz Sharif was so smart he knew nothing would change after his meeting with the US President and..."

"Ha ha, ha."

"So The Khan delivers extempore and makes numerous mistakes in geographical and historical references and declaring someone a shaheed referred to as the father of terrorism..."

"The expression is with mother - I mean there is mother of all wars, mother of all terrorism, mother of all..."

"Gender bias..."

"Who says there isn't, anyway Nawaz Sharif never ever released an investigative report but The Khan has released many reports..."

"But there has been no action on the reports."

"That's not what it's all about."

"Oh OK, but there are many similarities for example the economic policies are pro capitalist, the same as during the Sharif tenure and..."

"That's not The Khan's fault - if you get the same-o, same-o finance minister then what do you expect."

"But, but..."

"There is no but, it's all Nawaz Sharif's fault."

"So how old is The Khan? A teenager because it is teenagers who go against the grain so to speak..."

"That's a plus, his youthfulness in spirit is greater than Bilawals's and that is why the youth support him."

"I give up."
