Art Buchwald immortalized US President Richard Nixon's famous "I am not a crook" phrase by making the title of his article the name of one of his books. Maybe one day President Asif Ali Zardari, who is not a hypocrite and thus never uses the word "corruption" anywhere at anytime in any of his speeches will say, "I am an honest man", but not under oath. Under oath is another matter, telling lies under oath is a favourite (and profitable) pastime in South Asia, particularly in Pakistan.
