Bilawal Bhutto

   While its a little after the fact now, I thought this webcomic (or specifically the author's commentary) pretty much summed up my wtf reaction to this development:

" In the wake of his mother's death, the Pakistani People's Party has named 19-year-old Bilawal Bhutto to be its new leader.

It is somewhat unclear what exactly this means in practical terms. The Pakistani constitution doesn't allow you to hold political office unless you are at least 26, so he can't run for prime minister. It's also unclear how much the kid knows about the political realities of Pakistan, considering he lives in England.

I also don't understand how installing a teenager as leader-for-life of a political party based on the principle of hereditary succession is somehow allowing "democracy to get its revenge" as the Bhutto boy has claimed." -Filibuster Cartoons
