'Khairy the hound dog'
Responding to Umno Youth Chief Khairy Jamaluddin's criticisms of him, PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim likened him to a hound dog.
"He is doing what he usually does - hounding people - as in the song ‘Hound Dog'. It is his job to bark. It is hardly surprising," he said when asked by reporters at the Parliament lobby.

Earlier today, Khairy called Anwar a "
chameleon extraordinaire
"
for explaining to friends and Jewish leaders in the US his usage of terms like ‘Zionist aggression'.
Anwar ( left ) clarified that he was asked by some scholars and journalists why he used the term ‘Zionist'.
"My understanding is that it is linked to aggression, imperialism and expansion of its territories, but many Americans and Jews said that it was not a fair interpretation because they said that Israel is a legitimate nation.
"So I said if that is your interpretation, then it is different from mine," Anwar said.
He stressed that he stands by his belief that Zionism is all about aggression and imperialism.
He added that Utusan Malaysia had unfairly taken his words out of context.
"When I said that the world has lost its patience with Israel, Utusan did not mention this. When the government paid more than RM70 million to Apco, Utusan failed to mention this as well," he added.
Anwar also reiterated that he had always been consistent in his stand about the Palestinians.
