The scribe's report reads like a true-blue pamphlet for the Congress Party, whose lameduck prime minister - if at all he can be called that - is undergoing the mortification of having to eat his own words, day in and day out, both before his much cherished 'internationa fora' and at home, before the Leftists criminals. Man the Mouth must have learnt by now that bravado, machismo, corage and honour are not in his genes anyway, and therefore will not be the yardsticks that will ever apply to him. Journalistic sophistry can by no means conceal the obvious, foreign pedigrees notwithstanding! Jaganniwas Iyer
