DERPThere are quite a few candidates for crassest wingnut blog post today, but Jim “Dim” Hoft (aka “Gateway Pundit”) tops the list again. Hoft has been consistently pro-Mubarak since the Egyptian protests began (because Mubarak knows how to handle uppity Muslims), and his comment today is remarkably bigoted, mean-spirited, and just plain dense on every level.

“Day of Departure” Protests Fail… Mubarak Says He Will Stay On

So much for the “day of Departure” protests.

Mubarak is staying on a while longer.

They should have prayed harder.

President Mubarak decided he will stay in office for a while longer.

The LA Times reported:

Egypt’s Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik said he doesn’t expect President Hosni Mubarak to accept a proposal to hand over authority to Vice President Omar Suleiman.

Shafik’s remarks were broadcast Friday by Al Arabiya television.

Surely Barack Obama can talk some sense into the old dictator…

Especially after the way he treated the old codger this past week.
