      <description><![CDATA[Hey boys.....
Try to remember where you read what "El Pepe" "supposedly" "said"...
Was it not in Mercopress, Clarin or Veja?
Do I need to say more?

And even if he said what they say he said.......
He is our political grandfather….. 
We need his grumpiness…
We need his angriness….
And we need his sincerity……]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA["Mujica's emphatic public comments praising Argentina follow on an interview with a Uruguayan weekly where he criticized the current economic policies of the Kirchner administration and adhered to a statement from a former Uruguayan president who said Argentines, “from A to Z are all crooks”.

He was also interviewed by a pro-Kirchner Argentine weekly (Looking to the South) and declared that his latest comments were taken “out of context” and insisted on praising the good aspects of the bilateral relation, particularly emphasizing on the need to end the “ports’ war”."

This "granfa" is annoying... always speaking about internal problems of the country. Is really pathetic... Why he doesn't concerns about the Uruguayan problems? is Cristina speaking about the Uruguayan internal problems? Is a disrespect. Considering that, according some Uruguayans , we are sister republics, and according Mujica:

"Argentina is a brotherly country, we were born from the same placenta and it’s the only place where Uruguayans feel at home"

Or hypocrisy or senile madness... not interest, is just annoying, he's not an Argentine for speak on this way, and LESS if he's president of a neighbor country.]]></description>
