Is Bilawal Bhutto Zadari the world’s first political leader with (his own) a Facebook profile?
January 2, 2008
I’ve heard Dan Gillmor on a couple of occasions note that a future American President or two can be found on Facebook. With Bilawal Bhutto Zadari, the new co-chair of the Pakistan People’s Party, we may be seeing the first head of government with an active Facebook life.
A picture of him taken just weeks ago at a fancy dress party shows his face plastered with heavy make-up and a pair of horns attached to his head.
Benazir Bhutto, Bilawal dons a devil outfit for a fancy dress party… The picture was taken only a few weeks earlier, when Bilawal lived in ordinary student accommodation in Christ Church College with no obvious security.
He used the surname Lawalib – his first name spelt backwards – presumably to avoid the attention his real name might have brought on campus.
The pictures posted by friends on Facebook suggest Bilawal had settled well into undergraduate life.

We love Bilawal, and we hope he would be able to continue the mission started by his grand-father and his mom. God be with him, Amin

Sooner or later bilawal will have to take his first step in the politics that was due and its not debatable Q, in my opinion the democracy is not a war of words but its a war of minds, where age doesnt matters.

look closely, that’s not him. He’s of very light complection, like his mom. He has super-thick brows, which the “make-out” kid in the picture doesn’t have. The only picture that COULD be him, is the one in the tux. Although, Allah knows best, we shouldn’t point fingers, unlesswe have 4, trust-worthy EYE WITNESSES.
I don’t care for his party, or family. His family has made Pakistan into a “king-dumb”. Worse than a democratic friendly dictator. Imagine a major political party being dominated by one family? cough cough, Bush. But every now and then, someone else gets a shot at party leader. Sad.
