Mohammed Elbaradei, the most incompetent, fumbling and wrong-headed opposition leader (he’s repeatedly pushed a series of election boycotts that have been disastrous for the opposition) has been appointed interim Prime Minister of Egypt.
Hopefully this will at least distract him from the work of strategizing for the upcoming elections, which perhaps now will fall to someone like the Nasserist Hamdeen Sabahi, who after being ignored by all Western observers came a close third in last year’s Presidential vote (and swept Cairo and Alexandria), and has a substantial constituency among the poor (who are likely to be most susceptible to rejectionist rhetoric from the MB).
