Don't know about lying, inept maybe, inneficient certainly, out of his league deffinately.
Apr 24th, 2012 - 09:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Timmerman IS the major diplomatic blunder. I like him.
Apr 24th, 2012 - 09:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Timmerman for president. Now there's a pleasing prospect.
Apr 24th, 2012 - 09:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe as the “personal delegate” a la Campora to my Queen, if she doesn't change the constitution. Say what you like about him, I kike him, his father was a heroic dissident under the junta and he was a good left activist in his youth, like the Ks. While its good that some people have defected from the 1%, like the bankers Boudou and Giorgi, I personally prefer those like Timmerman who have been loyal from the start
Apr 24th, 2012 - 09:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argies think everyone else is as stupid as they are. Timerman is a good example of how stupid argies are. Does anyone know the Spanish for “Put brain, if you have one, in gear before opening mouth. Better yet, don't open mouth.”
Apr 24th, 2012 - 09:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#5 I meant to say “Say what you like about him, I like him”! =(

Timmerwoman: “Lies!”
Argtards: “YES, LIES!”
I prefer Timerman just for the truly comical UN speech, I can honestly say by the end of it I was in tears.
Apr 24th, 2012 - 09:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It was one of those truly surreal moments where he claimed a weather radar which has been gathering and sharing data for universities around the world for many years was a secret military radar.
Then there was the pics of the submarine the Argentine intelligence gathered from the Falkland's which happened to be a picture of a different class of submarine in Scotland and the picture was taken from a major UK newspaper.
He's a funny man, I will give him that....
@9 That speech showed him to be the total jockstrap that he really is. However this sack of lies shows him to be a pathological prevaricator, just like his boss.

#11 She's hardly disgraced, her people love her, her neighbours respect her, the imperialist countries and banks can't stop her and the progressive people of the world see her as an inspiration =)

Apr 24th, 2012 - 10:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0rubbish, the progressive people of the world were urging britain to act quicker against hitler in 1938
Apr 24th, 2012 - 10:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@14 same in 2012 against argtardia.
Apr 24th, 2012 - 11:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Mr. Tinman is a perfect example of the old saying “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
Apr 24th, 2012 - 11:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#15 No completely the reverse, in 1938 the establishment wanted to deal with Hitler, the left (and Churchill, which is why despite his many faults I like him) wanted to resist fascism; today its the establishment, the 1%, finance, which is leading the charge against my inspirational Queen. Also Hitler's foreign minister wasn't a Jewish leftist, a bit of a difference there, no?!
Apr 24th, 2012 - 11:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 06@ “Put brain, if you have one, in gear before opening mouth. Better yet, don't open mouth.” translated as
Apr 24th, 2012 - 11:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Pon cerebro, si lo tienes, en trabajo antes de abrir tu boca. Mejor aún, no la abras”
Difficult to be done by the Argentine authorities, it seems they haven´t one even joining all their heads......
Anyone knows the English for “ Ella tiene el cerebro conectado directamente con el culo.......abre la boca y la caga”
It seems something like “She has the brain directly connected with her ass......she open her mouth and make shit”
Hmm I'm trying to think of a caption for the photo of the poor hapless pleb. Is “Pull my finger” too obvious?
Apr 25th, 2012 - 03:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0How about. “Now where did I put that letter?”

Apr 25th, 2012 - 06:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0In the words of Argentine posters
JAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJA
I think there is more chance of me winning the lottery than that happening.
She's so well respected even your own neighbours insult your queen and complain to world trade bodies about her.........
How about a thought caption:
Apr 25th, 2012 - 06:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0“I can't understand why these people are so upset about this YPF business. Cristina told me it was all fine. Damn! I think the mad bitch has dropped me right in the shit!”
@17 - So you liked Churchill because he was against fascism, yet here you are all calling CFK (Her self a fascist with german nazi heritage) your Queen! Your either mentally unstable of just a pathetic stalker that has an unhealthy obsession with CFK - Or perhaps you just like plastic dolls!
Apr 25th, 2012 - 07:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Comment removed by the editor.
Apr 25th, 2012 - 08:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0@24 - its not a lie at all BK. It is well documented by many sources that CFK is of german and spanish haritage (Her mother Ofelia Esther Wilhelm being German). CFK's husband Nestor was also of german heritage. Given both their parents were born raised and lived in germany at the time of the Nazis, then it is highly likely, just like the majority of germans at the time, that they were Nazi supporters prior to moving to Argentina after the war - Much like a lot of germans connected to the Nazi party did!
Apr 25th, 2012 - 09:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0And so fucking what if most if her policies are leftist as the main question that matters the most is whether her policies are extreme left. I say they are, and as such Extreme left and Extreme right wing policy equal the same thing - Fascism e.g. controlling everyone and everything, perfect example of fascism is lack of respect for law and nationalising companies with no consideration in regards to paying share holders of said company the true value of their shares. Another example is over the top protectionist, providing false official statistics and a hell of a lot of nationlistic propoganda - Does it remind you of anything? It should do, as the Nazis did all that too!
Are you sure they didn't emigrate before the war, or were the children of immigrants; maybe they even fled Hitler, who knows. The way you put it sounds like they were war criminals escaping justice; someone on here even said her father was Eichman! ANd I don't think Cristina is “extreme” left, just real left like Galloway and what the best of the British Labour Party used to be; the real extreme left like the Trotskyists would probably dismiss her as a right wing reformist! And no extreme right and left are not the same, its only the extreme right that stands for racial genocide
Apr 25th, 2012 - 10:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0@26 Whatever her political ideology is, it's constantly overwhelmed by her nonsense-du-jour, her babbling cabbage-like speeches and her cabal of political imbeciles.
Apr 25th, 2012 - 10:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0I struggle to see how even from your position as wannabe-argtard you can respect her for something she doesn't have.
What does TImmerman have on CFK? He is one of IF NOT THE most stupid Foreign Ministers in the world. He has destroyed the relationship between the USA and Arg and NO ON WILL TAKE A MEETING WITH HIM.
Apr 25th, 2012 - 11:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina looks more isolated and ridiculous every day
British Kirchnerist : You say its only the extreme right that stands for racial genocide ?
Apr 25th, 2012 - 11:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Stalin/Mao/Castro/PolPot etc, killed far more people than the Nazis and their allies did.
@28 he's probably the connection between the Argtard mafia and KFCs cabal. Therefore he can get himself a high-profile job in government without any of the skills that are typically attributed to someone in that position.
Apr 25th, 2012 - 11:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Also he apparently has strong links with the NY Jewish community. Which apparently is very important in International Relations.
26 - And do you have any evidence that they did emigrate before the war and were escaping Nazi germany? Its a well known fact that argentine took in alot of germans, majority of them nazis or supporters of the nazis!
Apr 25th, 2012 - 01:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As for comparing her to galloway - Come on, give me a break galloway is just a pussy cat and so are his policies and ideas compared to CFK and her attempts to build the 4th right!
@14
Apr 25th, 2012 - 03:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And what did Argentina do to stop Hitler in 1938, besides goosestepping around in square helmets?
Timmerman ' a Jewish leftist' more like a 'Jewish leftist comedian' and a typical example of the ineptness of the current politican regime running the Republic of Argentina.
1) I think CFK's mother is listed as a German Jew, but I don't have a reliable source for this.
Apr 25th, 2012 - 04:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 02) Over 50,000 suspected Nazi war criminal emigrated to Argentina after the war. Some of the more high-profile Nazis moved to Paraguay when things got tricky for them in Argentina.
The Holocaust museum in Buenos Aires has a lot of information on this and is worth a visit.
For Timerman the EU letter must be a joke, I would have ignored it and when questioned about it, I would say EU is going thru a really really toght economic meltown and in Argentine we learned that desperate people will say or do anything to get help but Argentina can't be threatened or intimidated into lending a hand, negotiations where we can all make some money can be a better approach.

She has no , mustache ,, and he did not wear a dress ..we all know that [don’t we ??]
Timerman wasnt here the waiter in Fawlty towers?

Apr 25th, 2012 - 10:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Silly man
This was a very astute move by Mr. Timmerman, showing how very little importance a missive from the EU is to the Argentine Government.
Apr 26th, 2012 - 03:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0It just shows how brilliantly he has come to manage Argentinas foreign policy.
Carry on Héctor, you are Argentinas ace in the hole.
@39 - lol yeah Timmerman is so brilliant and so is CFk that they together have pissed of the USA, the EU (The worlds biggest trade block and importer of goods from 3rd world countries), your now former allie Spain (2nd biggest importer of argentine goods) and the vast majority of WTO countries. Must countries are going to stop giving you aid and will block any further loans via the IMF, your reserves are virtually none existant. You do not have the ability to invest in development of the oil fields that once belong to Repsol-YPF as most the investment came through Repsol shareholders.
Apr 26th, 2012 - 07:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Basically you idiots are going to run out of money and then out of oil, as you do not have the capacity or the money to increase oil output nor do you have the money to import oil to last you the entire winter, which is fast approaching. Your Timmerman and CFK are so brilliant that you will all be freezing your knackers and tits off this winter and many of your fellow argentines will freeze to death. I don't know whats worse, throwing them out of planes, or having them freeze to death due to incompetence!!!
@35DB
Apr 26th, 2012 - 10:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0Brilliant!!!!!!!!!
