I swear to god we live in Bizarro land:
An Egyptian ruling party politician started to undress in
parliament on Tuesday in protest at proposed constitutional
amendments which perpetuate many of the Egyptian president's vast
powers.In a debate on the amendments, details of which have not been
released, member of parliament Mohamed Hussein objected to the
article which gives the president the right to dissolve
parliament."Enough of that, enough. Should I take my clothes off?" he
added, using a sarcastic popular expression used in response to
someone's excessive expectations.When Hussein unbuttoned the waistcoat of his suit, speaker Fathi
Sorour threatened to have him thrown out of the chamber."Listen up, my man. I'll ask the house to throw you out of the
session. You're a troublemaker," Sorour said.Colleagues persuaded Hussein to withdraw from the chamber
voluntarily.
Just..just go away and don't say anything. Ok?
Is he a looker?
LOL, this is brilliant! 🙂
A ruling party MP who disagrees with Mubarak should be applauded for his actions, not ostracized!
This is a great idea. By the by, a friend recently related a story to me about an Arabic poem that uses the image of a veiled woman in a courtroom, at the hearing of her husband, who removes her veil when her husband is convicted and sentenced to death. When asked what she is doing, she responds “there is nothing wrong with removing the veil, there are no men present.” I thought this was very powerful–does anybody happen to know which poem this is?
maglis el shaab is a big farce , do you know that no member has ever dared suggest an amendment to the constitution . its always the president .
I think the solution is obvious – Egyptians need to elect Rania Hussein. Or Haifa Wehbe – she’s got an Egyptian mother so she’s probably elligible.
Problem solved.

You can leave your hat on, you can leave your hat on…
Reminds me of Tal3at El Sadat
I just hope Ted Kennedy doesn’t do the same. No one needs to see THAT.
If your MPs are gonna start undressing then its time to elect some porn stars..
