Unintentional comedy gold from a NY Times foreign correspondent. Hat tip to the other perfessorFrom 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.
