The Hari Putar Dialogues - 6 (The Tribune, 21st May. Putar: According to a story carried in the front pages of The Tribune today Barack Obama has emerged as a front-runner in the race for the White House. Hari: That's right, putar. Putar: Does this mean that Hillary Clinton has lost the race? Hari: I suppose so, putar. Putar: But she hasn't conceded defeat as yet. Hari: That's true, putar. Putar: Is that because she is a fighter, Papaji? Hari: That could be the reason. Putar: Or would it be better to refer to her as Senator Clin(g)on instead of Senator Clinton? Hari: I don't know, putar. Putar: The Republicans are increasingly worried about losing the Presidency this time. Hari: That's according to The Tribune, putar. Putar: Is it true though, as the Tribune reports that in a recent speech made in Israel, President George Bush has accused Senator Obama of being soft on terrorism? Hari: That's correct, putar. Putar: Do you think the Republican candidate Senator John McCain will be better at dealing with terrorism? Hari: I'm not so sure, putar. Putar: After all he has been a war veteran'. Hari: That's true, of course, putar. Putar: Is fighting against terrorism something like fighting a boxing match, Papaji? Hari: I'm sure that there are some parallels to that sport, putar. Putar: If a fighter starts off by being too aggressive and throwing punches right and left, he could end up losing the match. Hari: That often happens, putar. Putar: Tell me something Papaji? Hari: Bol, putar? Putar: According to the Republicans, who is the biggest terrorist of them all? Hari: I suppose it would have to be Osama, putar. Putar: If it was 'MCCAIN versus OSAMA' in the boxing ring, which fighter would you put your money on? Hari: I'm not so sure, putar. Putar: Wouldn't you give the Americans better odds if they had a different fighter in the ring? Hari: Whom do you mean, putar? Putar: I mean if the fight was billed as 'OBAMA versus OSAMA'. Hari: I don't know, putar. |
