"Musharraf...Musharraf...Musharraf..." Are we Dumb or Deaf?

What does society do to a person who repeats only one act or one word all day long? What would you do?

The society would take him away for psychiatric examination and then possibly treat or incarcerate that person. And, to answer my query, I would shun him/her and ensure a healthy distance between that person and my self.

Had the misfortune to watch Zillionaire Sharipov, speaking from his palace with P J Mir. If we take away every fourth word he spoke, this is what one will hear: "Musharraf...Musharraf...Musharraf...Musharraf...
Musharraf...Musharraf...Musharraf...Musharraf
...
Musharraf...Musharraf...Musharraf...Musharraf...
Musharraf...Musharraf...Musharraf...."


It is sad to see such a pathetic display of obsession, hatred, and parochiality.

And while am on TV, another digression - am watching Hamid Mir's Capital talk. If you have his cell number please call him and tell him NOT to repeat what his guests has said seconds earlier.

He asked a question of barrister Kasuri, then repeated verbatim what he said to Athar Minallah and asked him to respond. Kasuri and Minallah were sitting beside each other.

Next he turned to his correspondent in Karachi, a Mr. Dogar. And after the correspondent ended his reply, Hamid Mir turns to his studio guests and again repeats verbatim what Dogar had uttered a few seconds earlier.

Are we (or his guests) dumb or deaf?
