lol at a Muslim Brotherhood leader taking on a Pagan religious title. Breitbart people using words they don't understand is always good for a laugh.

Mohamed Morsi Declares Himself “Pharoah” Of Egypt
Who would you have "backed" in the elections of a foreign country? The Egyptians elected the guy, and if he turns out to be another dictator like Mubarak, then they'll have to deal with it.

He didn't "declare" himself anything, it's just a wingnut website parroting what his opponents have said about him and, well, like most wingnut websites, getting the basic facts wrong.

Except Morsi has no business sense and no tribal sense. He is turning Egypt into a welfare state. Its going to be real difficult to keep his idealogy in place without enough income to keep them out of the red.
