Egypt has been a cauldron of negative activity, including the murder of Christians, voting to dump the peace treaty with Israel, putting people on trial for manufactured infractions, talk of installation of morality police to harass women and on it goes.
Now we learn that President Jimmy Carter has announced it is all good. He has "no problem" with any of it.
The Carter Center is one of the few monitoring group to have had a licence to witness the election, and the former US president will hold a news conference on Friday.
Carter arrived in Egypt on Monday to join a Carter Center delegation of 40 witnesses representing 21 countries deployed in Egypt since mid-November, the statement added.
Egypt's two main Islamist parties have scored a crushing victory in the seats declared so far, reflecting a regional trend since Arab Spring uprisings overthrew authoritarian secular regimes.
Asked about Islamists coming to power, Carter said: "I have no problem with that. The US government has no problem with that either."
He always was easily satisfied.
