The ruckus he created in the Lok Sabha prompted Rajesh Kalra to tweet: 'The free run given to Lalu as the Lokpal is debated looks totally premeditated. Use a needy ally to stall everything and adjourn.' T S Sudhir wasn't impressed either: 'By sending Lalu as pinch-hitter, the Congress is only scoring a self-goal.' Sonia Singh weighed in with this: 'Irony of our times: Lalu charged with corruption in the fodder scam leading protests against the Lokpal Bill. Politicians are their own worst enemies.' And a question from Dinesh Nair: 'Congress, what a game you played by putting Lalu forward. Will he be the next Railway Minister now?'</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Debate continues</b></div><div>The Lokpal Bill clogged timelines again, as it has for much of this year. MTV India commented: 'It's no surprise the netas are finding it so difficult to pass the Lokpal Bill. Most of them barely passed school.' Shiv Aroor had this to say: 'In terms of devious, diversionary tactics, please remember that Congress has more experience than all other parties put together.' Anna M.M. Vetticad tweeted: 'We need a strong Lokpal, but the last thing we need is a super-body with superpowers over everyone.' And Ramesh Srivats had a suggestion: 'The Lokpal should have a few honest politicians. They could be brought in under the minority quota.'</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Naughty or nice?</b></div><div>Santa Claus was a pleasant trending topic as many posted wish-lists. 'Dear Santa,' went one, 'I would like a new face for Christmas; one without spots.' There was also this: 'What I want is your list with names of naughty girls.'</div><div><br /></div><div><b>The last word</b></div><div>A valid question from musician Vishal Dadlani: 'Lalu, why do we need minority reservation on the Lokpal? Why can't it just be educated, honest, public-minded Indians?'</div><div><br /></div><div><i><b>-- Lindsay Pereira is Editor,u00a0MiD DAY Online (twitter.com/lindsaypereira)</b></i></div>
