Guess the "Arab Spring" about done now?
'Monica, Monica' chants taunt Clinton in Egypt
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was taunted by chants of "Monica, Monica" by tomato-throwing demonstrators as she visited the Egyptian port city of Alexandria on Sunday.
The chants, referring to the Monica Lewinsky scandal when her husband, Bill Clinton, was president, were heard outside the US consulate as she visited for its reopening.
An embarrassed Egyptian security official said they were chanting "Monica, Monica" and "Irhal, Clinton" (Get out, Clinton.)
Tomatoes, shoes and a water bottle were thrown at part of Clinton's motorcade as it pulled up, protected by riot police, although a US official said Clinton's own vehicle was not hit.
Can someone remind me again how much $$ we send there? And how the President has been supportive of democracy in Egypt since the get go?
Oh never mind, the library of Alexandria was destroyed millennia ago...what's a few tomatoes and shoes?
There's this
Egypt urged to end military trials of civilians
And this
Protests as Clinton holds meetings in Egypt
"I want to be clear that the United States is not in the business, in Egypt, of choosing winners and losers, even if we could, which, of course, we cannot," Clinton said at the ceremony to reopen the consulate, which was closed in 1993 because of budget constraints.
"I have come to Alexandria to reaffirm the strong support of the United States for the Egyptian people and for their democratic future."
Just come home Hillary, they're not listening.
