Life is tough when you’re a Musharraf impersonator. You see, a Nawaz Sharif impersonator will always find work. So will a Zardari look-alike. Ditto for Imran Khan.
But those who held on to power not through some organic politicking but by piggybacking on the back of ‘certain’ state institutions fade away into obscurity, more or less. Yes, their trial can bring them back into the limelight but that’s just about it.
Our man at Geo’s Ham Sab Umeed Se Hain, poor fellow, is facing financial dire straits. A Musharraf well-wisher otherwise, he only got some work recently, when the former dictator was being tried.
Well, he recently got some more work, if the rumour mills are to be believed. As a stand-in for the defendant in the latter’s last appearance in court! No one was any the wiser for it!

They’ll talk about merit ad nauseum, but an influential board member of the nation’s cricket set up has appointed a close family member as the chief of the Lahore cricketing association.
Bad, board member!
