The Musharraf shuffle
It seems that Team Bush is
standing behind its man and "good ally"
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf (ironically, also a friend of the Daily Show). They're not the only ones though. Saudi Arabia sent it's intelligence chief to Pakistan
to argue for a "safe exit"
for the embattled president who finds himself facing possible impeachment. On Saturday, Musharraf was
given his two-day notice
to either walk or face parliament. A preliminary draft is already written up and the dominant party is ready to proceed. But first, there may be
a confidence vote
come Monday. And the two sides continued to negotiate as Musharraf wants immunity if he steps down and both sides are
arguing over what immunity means
. And while Team Bush may stand behind its man, it's clear they're not in a hurry to have him hang in their crib if it come to that.
