The Obama administration was embarrassingly wrongfooted when the Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak confounded expectations by refusing to leave office.

Mubarak's speech came just hours after Barack Obama and the director of the CIA, Leon Panetta, appeared to give credence to the rumours that the Egyptian president was heading for the exit.

Obama has been putting pressure on Mubarak since last week to stand down straight away, but Mubarak, in a televised address tonight, said he would not bow to international pressure, a direct snub to the US president.

Naturally McVain doesnt want to be left out of this episode of "Barack Back Mountain" and has joined his pal Zippy in calling for (ordering) Mubarak to step down.

Wait a minute. Who's in charge over in Egypt? Is Mubarak required to take orders from outsiders like Stinky and McLame now?

I'm getting dizzy from all the spin every time this guy pops up on my television.
