"As far as political humour is concerned,our nationalist cupboard is bare.The Indian nationalist leaders and politicians who followed them were in general a humourless lot"-

Shashi Tharoor,way back in 2002

A classic case of proving your statement very late.Saying that the Indian political class is humourless and proving it by tweeting something about the cattle class.

Shashi Tharoor's elitist humour on Twitter has rubbed everyone the wrong way.Tharoor should realise that

*He is a rank outsider in Congress.For a person who was aspiring to be the secretary-general of UN,these are muddy waters.He must tread with care.

*Whatever he wrote way back in 2002 is gospel.The only living politician with an iota of humour has got his VRS already:Vajpayee.

So Tharoor must stop his Twittering (Twittering can be your right but there are far pressing duties awaiting you) and act as the Minister of State for External Affairs.

And for the media covering this as if this is more important than the Bundelkhand drought or NREGA,here is a piece of Shilpa's mind:
