I am delighted! Forget party lines, for the first time in India's political history, a common Indian, an educated professional, who has no politics on his mind has used the politicians to forward his mission - because, he definitely understands the good of the country better than these politicians who only know 'notes' and 'votes'. MMS has shown what an educated, smart, Indian can reduce these politicans to - he proved to be smarter and more cunning than all these politicians on both sides of the deal and beat them hollow in their own number game. The way he mobilized support within his own party to push the deal through without support of the Left, and the way he cornered the BJP and put the Left between the rock and the hard place (read, between "Advani" and "Mayawati") is hilarious. I think this should motivate more sucessful professionals from various walks of life to join politics and save the country from the clan of 'netas' who will sell their mothers any way to get more power and money. Mr Karat, who thinks he is a master of the blackmail game, has been reduced to a sorry state within his own party, and Mr. Advani, who has always instigated crisis rather than resolving one, has been made to eat humble pie. And all this has been done with the politeness and humble attitude of a man who knows what's the worth of these politicians and what treatment they deserve. Bravo, Dr. Singh, we salute you!

How about the way congress paid for the votes? Wasn't that real clever too...? Oooo, I'm gushing with pride for the 'educated' blokes of India. What a smart man, MMS! He knows how to take bribes and how to give them! WOW. I'm all full of goose-pimples. No wonder he makes everyone of us eat humble-pie with his "smartness." We idiots don't know how to buy people off, like the way MMS and congress does. WOW! I'm all dazzled...blown out of my mind, dude! Does he have a daughter I can marry, dude? I want to learn to be smart like MMS, dude! WOW!
