A triple distinction

0
114

Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani should be entitled to a triple crown:

Crown I: Prime Minister Gilani has made more statements than the number of days he has been in office.

Crown II: Prime Minister Gilani has made more statements than all the prime ministers and presidents of Pakistan.

Crown III: Prime Minister Gilani has made more statements in office than all the prime ministers of the British Commonwealth of Nations combined.

By virtue of these distinctions, Prime Minister Gilani should be entitled to a place in the Guinness Book of Super Records. Ninety percent of Prime Minister Gilani’s statements are self-contradictory or frivolous. Five percent are retractions or flip-flopping and the rest may make me sense. (This is said in jest. I assure the Hon. Prime Minister of my deep respect.)
