Another Democrat, Another (wannabe) tyrant

Al-AP brings us more good news about the Democratic Party’s spring offensive:

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) – A top U.S. Democratic congressman met a leader of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s most powerful rival, the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, U.S. officials and the Islamist group said Saturday.

Visiting House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer met with the head of the Muslim Brotherhood’s parliamentary bloc, Mohammed Saad el-Katatni, twice on Thursday – once at the parliament building and then at the home of the U.S. ambassador to Egypt, said Brotherhood spokesman Hamdi Hassan.

I’m not a fan of Hosni Mubarak–I don’t like family dictatorships, or, for that matter, any dictatorship–but Mother Michael’s first rule of life is “things are never so bad they can’t get worse.” And the Brotherhood is worse.

Can’t the Democrats find any good democrats to talk to in Syria and Egypt? Oh, I forgot, they’re in jail or in exile or in the ground. Courtesy of the people the Dems have chosen to meet with. And some of the Pubs too, lest we forget.
