Your Kind of Dictator…………..
“Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said on Thursday that former U.N. nuclear chief Mohamed ElBaradei was welcome to run for the presidency if he wants, but tartly dismissed any suggestion that he was a national hero. Mubarak, who has ruled for almost three decades, made the comments on a visit to Germany, during which he will undergo medical tests…. "If he wants to join any political party as a citizen, he can do so. We do not have any restrictions on this. If he wants to run as an independent, he is also welcome," Mubarak told a news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin. Analysts say election rules make it almost impossible for any candidate to stage a realistic challenge against the one nominated by Mubarak's ruling National Democratic Party (NDP)……..”
Which means he has no chance. Frau Merkel stood calmly by Mubarak, who usually “wins” by 90% or so, and does not allow anyone to run against him.
Which reminds me of a kind of French spread cheese (LVQR)……….
