Indian Bugfest Part II

Vajpayee scrams, can't even be bothered with final podium appearance

I see that former Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee is showing

his customary tactical shrewdness and getting the hell out

of the collapsing BJP while the getting is good.

On further investigation, it looks like, yeah, the BJP cadres

really are committing sex smears on themselves as

part of an internecine feud. It's technocrats versus

Hindu fanatics. I'm putting on the popcorn. This disaster

isn't half over yet – there are so many shoes left to

drop in this ruckus that we could outfit a centipede.
