This has got to be satire.
Following a press conference in which Mr. McCain threatened sanctions, the leader of the Egyptian Popular Current party, Hamdeen Sabahi, who is a co-leader of the ruling National Salvation Front, described Mr. McCain as a senile old man.
Mr. Sabahi sure has that part pegged right.
