Egypt’s Mubarak is in good health: first lady
CAIRO - Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak is in good health, his wife Suzanne Mubarak said, seeking to end speculation in the Egyptian media the 79-year-old ruler may be seriously ill.
'Suzanne'?
‘The president’s activities have not stopped ... his health is excellent,’ Suzanne Mubarak told Arab satellite channel Al Arabiya in remarks broadcast overnight.
Just like General Franco.
She said people spreading rumours about his health should be held to account. She did not elaborate.
She didn't need to.
For the past week, Egyptian opposition and independent newspapers have raised the possibility of the president falling ill after he missed some regularly scheduled meetings, including one with university students. Mubarak’s live appearance on state television examining a project in Burg el-Arab on the north coast last week failed to end speculation.
The four muscle guys propping him up pro'ly didn't help matters.
Mubarak also postponed a trip to inspect projects in the southern province of Sohag, scheduled for Sunday. The president cancelled the trip on Saturday because the projects there were not ready, an official source told Reuters.
"Nurse! He's doing it again!"
"Hush Gamal and hold him while I get the shot ready!"
