Pot calling the kettle black

"My mother always said democracy is the best revenge."

That was Bhutto's 19-year-old son yesterday after he was selected to head the PPP... by his father.

The irony gets better. In case you were wondering why her husband gets to pick the party head, it's because she left the PPP to him in her will. I'm glad to hear Bhutto was so committed to democracy she listed her supporters as assets along side the houses and cars bought with her legendary graft.

For more on her dubious devotion to democracy and subsequent lionization I recommend Matt Yglesias and his various links.
