Liberal writer gobsmacked Egyptian Islamists not democratic
2012-04-15
Unintentional comedy gold from a NY Times foreign correspondent. Hat tip to the other perfessor

From TFA:
Since Hosni Mubarak fell from power in Egypt last year, the Muslim Brotherhood has repeatedly promised moderation and vowed not to "monopolize political institutions in the new Egypt." But right now a committee is forming to write a new Constitution. The "moderate" Brotherhood controls the parliament and tried to stack the committee's membership so that it held a controlling majority. On Tuesday, however, a court blocked the effort.

We should never have believed them.
He's here all week, folks. Try to remember to tip the waitstaff.

#6  Recall that one leader in the Islamic world who said they consider democracy to be like a bus. They will get off when they get where they want to go. No surprises if liberals were paying attention.

#5  If these gullible lib-journos were to literally get smacked in the gob every time they were duped, perhaps they'd start learning. Eventually.

#3  NYT also supported Mouse-a-lini and Hitler - in their time. No need to report railroad cars, they were just un-sightly.

Nice work in getting a Tyrant elected and reporting for the loss of all of Northern Africa to "you don't know"

What a wonderful piece of shit you run there NYT. FU All.

#2  His father must be ever so proud, lord garth. And a professor of journalism, too. Unless he actually reads what Brinkley the Younger produces.
