From “chronically depressed puppet to a head-slicing machine” in just nine months is quite a record said ironically Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner at Government House in a clear reply to growing party discontent with the electoral lists for next October presidential and legislative elections.

    I wonder if there is any connection between “their back pages present ads that humiliate women” and the porno ad for women under a telephone number owned by a “Moyano”?

    I have to agree with Briton.

    And wrt the issue of 'wimmen', all that needs to be done is to make the back-pages un-gender-biased, so that the 'humiliation of wimmen' is matched by an equal and opposite 'humiliation of guys'. (Only joking, Elaine, Isolde)

    There is no need for CFK to get on heat about these issues in this fashion. Her re-election doesn't need it, and she has to preserve distance from the unions otherwise all becomes uncorrectable chaos (but perhaps this comes with La Cámpora, in any case.)

    Cristina has a mind like a clock ... and like a clock it regularly goes 'cuckoo' (apologies to Terry Pratchett!)

    For the first time l agree with her.
    lf she is doing something to stop the exploitation of women, then she has my blessing.
    This statement of mine in no way supports any of her country's claims to my country. That is an entirely separate issue.
    Just getting in before the malvinistas try to make something of it!

    Is she really making efforts to stop the exploitation of women? or just making another empty populist statement, I wonder?

    Setting up in people's minds that she is some sort of bi-polar Madame Guillotine, periodically killing off the Argentinean 'aristocracy'.
    Real far left election-winning tactics!

    Cristina may be many things but she is is not Rupert Murdoch's bitch. For that we should be thankful.
    She's one of the few leaders who is not an errand boy/girl of the bankers.

    A populist politician is preferable to one who is owned by foreign bankers/media moguls.

    A populist politician is one who will take his/her country to terminal collapse without batting his/her terminal eye-lid.

    In only nine months ago “I have gone from being a chronically depressed double command puppet to an authoritarian head-slicing machine of utopian candidates” What is this woman on whatever it is they need to cut back on the dose

    “She's one of the few leaders who is not an errand boy/girl of the bankers. A populist politician is preferable to one who is owned by foreign bankers” (#11)

    But surely the idea, if you borrow money from eg. bankers, is that you pay it back.

    It does not make you an errandboy and girl if you pay what you owe.
    It does make you a criminal if you decide not to pay it back.

    “Vote for Christina, the criminal!”

    Bueno, si ella gana
    Entonces ella va a tener que hacer más que hablar, para volver de las Malvinas británico.
    Le sugerimos que se olvide de las Malvinas, y concentrarse en Argentina de rodillas
    Y de vuelta en sus pies, larga vida a los británicos.
    interesting,

    Every time Kirchner mentions the Falklands she as the look of some one playing five-card-draw who is holding aces-over-eights and thinking I'll play this hand its a winner.
