The Silence of Sonia

The lady who listens to her inner voice has pressed the mute button, yet again. She's not said a word on the reservation issue. Not even the usual platitudes about her concern for the disadvantaged. The reasons are obvious. She wants bechaara Manmohan Singh to take all the flak. For anyone who's observed Sonia, this ain't surprising. She never opens her mouth for fear of uttering something utterly ridiculous. Perhaps that's why she never addresses press conferences or appears on camera for a candid interview. To think that we nearly made her Prime Minister...thank god for small mercies.
