Categories: South Asia, Pakistan, Citizen Media

President Pervez Musharraf [1] came close to achieving a PR disaster in recent times [2]. The blogs were alive with the sound of sheer amazement, anger and disgust [3]. In the Bullpen wonders why the statement was made in the first place [4]. The extremely active Feminist community at Live Journal [5] has its opinions. Dhimmi Watch has a post with some interesting comments [6].

So was this the Musharraf that promised [7] a more ‘forward’ outlook? Blast Furnace Canada Blog has a post with his take on events [8] such as “Take back the night [9]” and Musharraf. Reality Cafe on Musharraf's denial, and Washington Post's stand [10]. Feministing.com on PPP [11]‘s response to the remarks [12]. Satire galore here [13]. GOP Vixen on why Musharraf won't find himself on Oprah [14]anytime soon, and Mukhtaran Mai's opinions on the remarks. the olive ream with trademark humour in “Open Mouth: Insert Army Boot” [15].
