London - (Rotters): How the mighty are fallen. Only a year ago he was top dog in Pakistan. Living the life of riley in the Islamabad presidential palace. Hotline to President Bush and Vladimir Pootin. Madoff $$$s paycheck every month.

Benazir Bhutto's former cleaning lady is now Musharraf's landlord.
