Benazir Bhutto’s husband elected President of Pakistan

This is by no means a slam dunk for ‘good guys’. Zardari was a consumate liar and corrupt as hell when Bhutto was in office. From MSNBC:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – The widower of slain former leader Benazir Bhutto will succeed Pervez Musharraf as president of Pakistan after winning a landslide election victory Saturday.

Unofficial results announced after separate votes in the federal and provincial assemblies showed Asif Ali Zardari winning an overwhelming majority.

Pro-Zardari lawmakers, some in tears, shouted “Long live Bhutto!” as the figures came in. The couple’s two jubilant but tearful daughters, one carrying a portrait of their late mother, smiled and hugged friends in the gallery of the National Assembly.
