Bhutto's son uses Facebook. But the post saying "I'm merely a student" was bogus.

The bogus statement, which appeared on Tuesday, seemed to be a sincere
response to condolences sent to a Facebook profile in the name of Bilawal
Bhutto Zardari. “I am not a born leader. I am not a politician or a great
thinker,” it says. “I’m merely a student. I do the things that students do
like make mistakes, eat junk food, watch Buffy [the Vampire Slayer] but most
importantly of all . . . learn. My time to lead will come but for now I’m
the one asking questions, not the one answering them.”
</P><P>
Yesterday an aide to Bilawal’s father, Asif Ali Zardari, said that his son had
not posted any public messages on his real Facebook profile, which is under
the name of Bilawal Lawalib. “It’s the Government,” the aide said. “They’re
trying to make it look like it was a mistake to appoint him, because he is
so young. They’re trying to demonise Mr Zardari.”</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article3123848.ece">
