Spartan leader: Pick up the pace, to the Parliament!
Narrator: The Muslim Brotherhood advances, and approaches the Parliament.
Spartan leader: (encountering a group of other fighters) Greetings, we are on our way to Parliament.
Other fighters, looking worried: You haven't picked out a presidential candidate yet….what are you waiting for?
How does the Muslim Brotherhood not have a candidate for president?
Spartan leader, looking sly: Because we promised that we wouldn't field anyone for president.
Other fighters: Don't make excuses, you don't have anyone who capable of being president, of dealing with that position.
Spartan leader: Are you talking about us?
You! (points to Fighter 1) Who are you going to nominate for president?
Fighter 1: Abd al Munam Abu-Fatouh
Spartan leader: And you! (points to Fighter 2) Who are you going to nominate for president?
Fighter 2: Hazem Abu Ismail!
Spartan leader: (smiles) And you! (points to Fighter 3) Who are you going to nominate for president?
Fighter 3: Abu Al-az Al-Hariri
Spartan leader: That's not a presidential contest, that's a parliament of old men!
Spartans, who has our nomination????
Spartans (collectively shouting): Shater, Shater, Shater!!!
Spartan leader: Khairat Shater….we're committed to the decision of the Brotherhood leadership!!!!

This video was actually posted by supporters of Khairat Shater, i.e. guys who want him to run for president. If you don't know who Shater is, then you better find out. No doubt he will have a huge influence on the Egyptian presidential election. For background, check out the New York Time's profile on Shater here.
