Egyptian President Now Rambling about “Planet Of The Apes” In Foreign-Policy Interviews -- Hot Air
On the one hand, he’s nuts. On the other hand, using a tortured pop-culture metaphor for geopolitics suggests he’d make a fine blogger.

Just read the entire transcript, and I don't really see the big deal in regards to the Planet of the Apes reference, it was a strange one, but I think it was his way of trying to express what he was saying, rather badly, in bad english.

Everything after that, however, shows he's dillusional if he thinks 80-90% of people are in favour of his new power grab.
He is essentially doing the opposite of what he is saying.
