**JP** PPPP Mandate
The PPPP Mandate
The PPP regime which is in fact NOT the PPP but the PPPP (Parliamentarians) regime - remember? the PPP did not take part in the general elections of 2008 - is never tired of haranguing about the 5 year mandate given to it by the hundred seventy million people (satra karor awaam). Surprisingly, they are not the only one to make this tall claim but every other political party declares so, as if Pakistan's population is not hundred and seventy million but hundred seventy billions!! However, even a cursory look at the statistics issued by the Election Commission of Pakistan for the February 2008 NA elections will refute their such claim, which are:
Registered Votes: 80133991, Total Votes Polled: 34980069, Valid Votes: 34113398, Rejected Votes: 940582, Turn Out Total Votes Polled: 43.65 % .
Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarians won 93 seats and polled 6293701 votes or just 7.85 percent of the Registered Voters and a mere 3.70 percent of the estimated population (170 million) then.
In other words 96.30 percent of the population numbering around 163.7 million people did not vote for the PPPP.
What a mandate and what a claim?!

Re: Sunday Round Up of Chattering Monkeys (1/29)
--If you missed any of the "news" you can hear it all replayed on C-Span radio beginning at noon at 90.1 FM in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, or streaming on the internet at http://www.c-span.org/Schedules/C-SPAN-Radio-Schedule/Many shows are also rebroadcast on their own networks (or sister networks like FOX News) later this afternoon and evening. An extremely boring week all round, though Austan Goolsbee did demonstrate that he truly is a whorish liar hoping to be the next James Carville for whomever is in power. NBC continued its superior record of having all white panelists and hosts, from snow monkey David Gregory on down. (ABC and FOX each scored one chatterer of color.)A synopsis of who was on today:FOX News Sunday with Newt Gingrich and Paul Ryan as guests and Brit Hume, AB Stoddard, Paul Gigot, and Juan Williams as panelists. (9 am)Spittles Matthews. Time's Mike Duffy, BBCAmerica's Katy Kay, Kathleen Parker and Newsweek's Andrew Sullivan have daily dish. Dufy predicts Obama cannot win Florida; Sullivan predicts that Obama will be re-elected as long as his negatives keep going down (he has a 30% "right track" rating) and the Republican's negatives keep going up. Spittles managed to beat sister NBC show Meet the Flaks by having not only an all white panel, but scoring two blonds and a British homosexual -- you can't get whiter than that!(NBC at 10)ABC's This Week with Clinton Administration Chipmunk George Stephanopoulus with the ever restful John Boehner as guest. Jake Tapper, the closest thing the DC news hive has to a male model (and in a way the ultimate insider, since he dated Monica Lewinsky before Clinton did). The Clintonian chipmunk was "on vacation," perhaps because last week he made do with interviewing third place finisher Rick Santorum, after the previous week's show where he evaded covering any actual news and analysis for as long as possible, by interviewing comedian Steven Colbert for 15 minutes about his announcement of an exploratory committee to see if he should run for the GOP nomination (Colbert "ran" in 2008 as a Democrat). With a diverse panel of Laura Ingraham, George Will, Austan Goolsbee (as a depilated, non-ENRON employed Paul Krugman), and Donna Brazile. Austan Goolsbee, very fetching in cone bra, garters, lipstick, and high heels, claimed that the size of the federal government had shrunk in the past 3 years. (10 am)(George Stephanopoulos)Meet the Flaks. With Fannie Mae lobbyist Beth Wilkerson's hubbie David Gregory. Guests include Rick Santorum and David Axelrod (chairs will be covered in protective vinyl), John McCain (representing Romney) and Fred Thompson (representing Gingrich). Chuck Todd presents stats for the "3" GOP candidates, leaving off Ron Paul; McCain brings up the Libertarian Party. This is McCain's 63rd appearance on Meet the Flaks. which ties him with Bob Dole for the most appearances and tells us a lot about John McCain. Plagiarist Doris Kearns Goodwin will discuss theft and copying in campaign speeches and advertisements on a typical all-white NBC panel with Joe Scarborough and Chuck Todd. (NBC, 10:30 am)Independent journalist David Gregoryand Fannie Mae lobbyist wife,dining at the White HouseDeface the Nation. Debbie Wasserman Schultz gives hair tips for medusas and lamias. Reince Preibus gives correct pronunciation of his name. Michele Bachmann gives hair tips for women with normal to good hair. Donald Trump tries to decide whether Bachmann's or Wasserman Schultz's hair tips apply to his case. Panelist Marc Caputo of the Miami Herald and Scott Conroy of RealClearPolitics. (CBS at 10:30)McLaughlin Group appears to not be on at it's regular morning time. TVGuide reports it will not be on for the next two weeks, which seems odd.
