The Mubarak trial is beginning now, live on CNN.
Imagine if that were Junior and friends - except he stuck around a lot longer. I can't imagine how the Egyptians are feeling seeing this right now.

1. The Guardian's Haroon Siddique posted on their news blog:

There's been a real sense as to whether he would actually turn up in his white prison overalls in this specially constructed metal cage which all Egyptian criminal defendants are supposed to stand in when they're in court. And the sight of this once mighty dictator so publicly humiliated and so brought down to earth is one which a huge amount of Egyptians are relishing.

5. I love the arrogant look on all three Mubarak faces
Truthfully I wish I was watching Bush and Cheney on trial
