no worse than the ‘dong’

Nitin at the Acorn notes a movement to include Pakistan dictator Musharraf’s picture on the currency:

Ishfaq Chaudhry, the Pakistan People’s Movement
chairman, has moved the Lahore High Court (LHC) to direct the State
Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to publish the picture of President General
Pervez Musharraf on the Rs 5,000 currency notes.

The petitioner said that 80 percent of the people of Pakistan supported President Pervez Musharraf’s policies. [DT]

"Mr Chaudhry does not go far enough," Nitin suggests. "The Pakistani Rupee could also be renamed to the Mushee."
