Pakistan protesters rally behind Bluto

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf today put opposition
leader Benazir Bluto on double secret probation.
Bluto is accused of inciting pro-democracy food fights and
an anti-Musharraf plot involving 10,000 marbles.
Musharraf, sharply criticized for placing his country under
emergency rule Nov. 3, issued a statement evoking the words
of the infamous American disciplinarian Dean Vernon Wormer:
"There is a little-known codicil in the Faber College/Pakistan
Constitution which gives the Dean/Dictator unlimited power
to preserve order in time of campus/national emergency."
The beloved, hard-drinking Bluto — a distant cousin of former
Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto — is now said to be organizing
a massive toga protest.
