Any more of this plan and she will be hanging off one of the poles in one of the squares in BsAs instead of 'standing at 26'.
Ha, ha, ha.

And the Opposition can see that their prey is tiring.

the most powerful women in the world,
May 22nd, 2013 - 07:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And pissed CFK right off lol.
Ahhhh, if only CFK could tell them her true net worth... That would show them how powerful she is and they'd soon show her the respect she deserves... Actually I wouldn't put it past her, given her “successful lawyer” ability to not think more than one move ahead.

May 22nd, 2013 - 09:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh, you are a lovely person!
I don't think she can even think one step ahead, just like 'I Don't Think' himself.
Dilma went UP one position,
May 22nd, 2013 - 09:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0CFK 'went down' 10 times!!
Probably less frequently now that Chubby's not 'oiling her up' anymore.
:-)
Well done to Dilma, hope she overtakes the nasty Merkel for the top slot next year! An innacurate and probably deliberately mischevious ranking for Cristinita though, wait till she triumphs at the next elections, then they won't be able to deny her rightful spot =)
May 22nd, 2013 - 10:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm surprised that Michelle Obama ranks above Hillary Clinton.
May 23rd, 2013 - 02:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0She might not do too well in the next elections.

May 23rd, 2013 - 04:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0Unfortunately, with her unconscionable
politicising of the Argentine judiciary and suppression of Freedom of the Press, in Argentina, she may have a lot of control over the election.
One can hope that the people shed their apathy before it's too late!!
With the way things are going, I see Dark Days ahead for Argentina, sadly.

May 23rd, 2013 - 06:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0But look who has dropped from 26 to 40 - the WoW. And she is the first woman from England on the list. Fancy that, England's most important woman is a hooker. A loser result for a loser country.

Or is it just you bashing your gums again because you have nothing of value to say.

Look at Tinman, he is obviously terrified of the wicked witch of BA.

Do you think that we care what a little non-entity, prostituiting his pimply-arse for food and sexual favours, thinks about our educated, dignified and benevolent Monarch?
:-)
Dilma is way above CFK's league.
She already appears to be distancing herself from the “Old Hag” as Pepe calls, CFK.
Dilma has moved up, at the same time that CFK has moved 10 places down!
I would be surprised if she ever allows herself to be seen with CFK again.
Dilma moves on towards the real world.
CFK passes draconian resolutions and slides into dementia.
:-)
Lol

May 24th, 2013 - 07:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0I agree. Dilma is above cfk's league. And both are way above your head of state's, the Hooker in Chief, league. So what are you trying to say?

May 24th, 2013 - 09:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0I would not disagree that Dilma and CFK are more powerful than the Queen as they both run their respective country's governments.
One reasonably well and the other disastrously. However, their “power” is transitory. When they lose an election, then they will drop out of sight.
When you look at previous lists you will find the Queen is always there.
If the list was about being respected, then she would be much higher up the scale - certainly ahead of both the other recipients
to the titles. Politicians make enemies - the higher they go , more so.

I agree. Dilma is above cfk's league. And both are way above your head of state's, the Hooker in Chief, league. So what are you trying to say?”
Power:
-Dilma going up as she is a responsible leader for her people.
- CFK going down in power as she declines in popularity and she takes Argentina down to 3rd world economic and political stature.
- HRH Queen Elizabeth has no political “Power” except to
Dissolve the Government if it behaves undemocratically ie. appoints a Dictator, politicises the Judiciary, outlaws Freedom of the Press, etc.
- of course, David Cameron is much more powerful, as UK PM, than either Dilma or CFK - and Cameron has his “finger on the button”!
Respect:
- HRH is loved and respected throughout the 54 Nation Commonwealth, and most of the Free World, for over 60 years.
- Dilma, internationally certainly, and more as her economy outstrips the rest of SA
- CFK ??? Nah, jabbering nutcase.
CFK won't be on next years list.
Is that clear what I am saying??
#15 “Maybe the Argies have a penchant for powerful women to dominate them as they are a bunch of girlies”
May 25th, 2013 - 07:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Like the Thatcher cabinet then? =) Or maybe its because they're real men that they don't feel unmanned by recognising great and talented women like Evita and Cristinita =)
“Look at Tinman, he is obviously terrified of the wicked witch of BA”
I look at him and see the best alternative President if Cristina sadly has to stand down =)
#18 A funny post. Of course its a legitimate to see Dilma as being above Cristina's league, (though I of course have a special regard for Cristinita's charisma, humour, fighting spirit and beauty) but I'm surprised to see such and Argentine nationalist as you say it in the context of this thread. Just goes to show what I'd already picked up on, and the others didn't believe, that we couldn't possibly be the same poster as you don't actually like Cristina that much! Finally I don't think you do your cause, which is broadly the right one, any favours by constantly calling Elizabeth II a whore =(
#19 Well Dilma seems to be about as popular in Brazil as our Queen in Britain, without having to be apolitical =) Bachelet was the same, and Lula. Cristinita has more enemies, granted, but if you judge a person by their enemies, Cristina stands out as very impressive, given who her enemies are...
#20 “CFK won't be on next years list” Wanna bet? =)

May 30th, 2013 - 06:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0the Sri Lankans feel that Argentina is beneath them.
@24
May 31st, 2013 - 06:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina is your fetish not the Sri Lankans.
The Sri Lankans are mainly interested in how they can us the British Commonwealth and you to absolve them of their crimes. With the amount of blood on British hands I guess this is no problem for you.

May 31st, 2013 - 09:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0Sorry,I forgot, Argentina is blameless over blood letting when she took over the southern part of S. America - or so they continually tell us !
The country was acquired peacefully as it was uninhabited in the main and where there were indigenous tribes, they pleaded with the colonialists to take their land and not to wipe them out entirely, but to leave a small vestige for the future.

May 31st, 2013 - 12:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are trying to deflect and are off-topic
Sri Lanka has nothing to do with the article about the Most Powerful Women in the World.
CFK is NOT one of them.
Her 'Death Mask' is slipping off, to reveal the 'grinning skull' beneath.
“Down 10 places”, whilst Dilma moves up one, to sit with Merkel, and now enjoys State visits to the White House.
Do you remember the u-tube video last year, at the UN Obama walks right past CFK's extended hand and ignores her?
