    The fat fascist is a nice bookend to Botox Evita. They both know how to steal the money.

    #3 Takes one to know one I suppose =)

    A good article compared to all the usual sensationalism about the guy from Greek etc. Significant that it is not even known if he sets the line in La Campora, or what if any his specific influences on policy are. My guess is that figures like Kicillof are much more influential within the government and movement, but that its nothing bad or special if Cristina as a mother is closer to her own son than to government ministers who she may only have known closely for a few years

    Does anybody know ANYTHING about young Maximo and his 'condition'?

    I read a lot of gossip, speculation and invective but I've yet to read any balanced report of him and his position in the great scheme of things in Argentina.
    Even this article is pure speculation.

    How irresponsible and insensitive for a mother to say one child is -preferred- to another. I don't care what her daughter is like. Its the last thing a mother should say. I'm getting an Greco-Roman vibe from this.

    Nice to see some vestiges of common sense from a British poster.
    A refreshing change……………….

    What did that fascist Evita wanna be spend on shoes last time she was in NYC 150K wasn't it? I wonder if her debit card works while she is out of the country, the rest of her subject's cards don't work any longer. Does she pay import tax when she brings them in? Do any RGs care there are different laws for the ruler and the ruled?

    17. What does that have to do with anything? Why do you care if you are an RG living in USA? Which if you are in the USA why is your English writing ability so poor? Are you using your employers computer while you clean his house?

    Everytime I see those two together it reminds me of Zelda and Yung-Star from the puppet show Terrahawks.

    #8-9 & #15 I think the quote was from when Nestor was still alive, and the full quote was that Maximo was her favorite and Florencia was his favorite. Its not really that unusual to have a mummy's boy and daddy's girl dynamic, just sad that the dad died. But anyone who thinks she “doesn't like” her daughter obviously hasn't seen pictures of them together. I personally hope Florencia goes into politics and maybe in 20 years or so she might be a good presidential candidate =)

    #16 But she needs those shoes, she needs something to walk all over capitlaist reactionaries like you in =)

    @25

    A parent shouldn't state they prefer one child over another. Unconditional love and all that. In the real world perhaps it doesn't always work out like that but to publicly state that you prefer one of your children over another is wrong. Its quite another thing to say my son is most similar to me and my daughter is more like the father.

    Your queen is as capitalistic as they come so trying to joke your way out of her highly materialistic behaviour fails. She doesn't need to be and if she gave a damn about 'her' people she wouldn't be such an ostentacious leader in a country with such widespread poverty.
