Ironic Argentine president attacks Supreme Court: “Cristina will run for Judge in 2015”
Still licking the wounds from her defeat at the Supreme Court that ruled unconstitutional several articles of her attempted and controversial judicial reform, Argentine president Cristina Fernandez ironically said she would be running for judge in 2015 and pledged to continue fighting.

paranoid as ever. the pressures on her brain from all sides let her talk more and more idiotically.

Jun 21st, 2013 - 11:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0That he met in the
house, 'Let us
both go to law:
I will prosecute
you.-- Come, I'll
take no denial;
We must have
a trial: For
really this
morning I've
nothing to do.'
Said the mouse
to the cur,
'Such a trial,
dear Sir, With
no jury or
judge, would
be wasting
our breath.'
'I'll be
judge, I'll
be jury,'
Said cunning
old Fury:
'I'll try
the whole
cause, and
condemn
you
to
death.'
Has Ms Kirchner escaped from Alice in Wonderland?
Perhaps it would behoove her to actually finish her degree first?
Jun 21st, 2013 - 11:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0Though, I've met people that have Law degrees that are as dumb as she is, so she'll fit right in.
She claimed to be a “successful solicitor” while speaking at Harvard. Is she even a lawyer or does she just have a degree handed to her because she is who she is? Doesn't a judge have to have some knowledge of the law? Time to retire to VeneCuba cfk.
Jun 21st, 2013 - 11:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0She claims to have a law degree but the reality is she left university before finishing her degree to follow Nestor south. No one has ever seen her degree certificate. When it was questioned some friends of Nestor and Cristina made a statement confirming she had attended the university and had a degree, but no documentary proof has ever been produced.
Jun 21st, 2013 - 01:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Surely Boudou could print a mock one for her.
He probably has....
Jun 21st, 2013 - 02:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#6 why should such a technical thing like a degree stop her? But I agree with you and you must remeber....they are lairs, er, I mean lawyers and it they eventually become politicans.
Jun 21st, 2013 - 02:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Like the old joke, “what to you call 6 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?.......a great start”
Personally my favorite lawyers are dead ones, they are the only one's not screwing someone.
As to her statement of becoming a judge. I think she was impling that she will eventually get this act into law.
“It would not be strange if they issue an injunction that won't let us elect presidents and lawmakers” Cristina Fernández insisted.
Jun 21st, 2013 - 05:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is this the most ridiculous statement CFK has made to date, or just one equally as stupid as all her others that address those who oppose her desire to be president for life? Such a drama queen!

Jun 21st, 2013 - 06:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How many names is this now?
Personally, with a change of wigs I think she will fit right in!
Jun 21st, 2013 - 07:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0JUST look at that photo of TMBOA.
Jun 21st, 2013 - 07:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The face that launched a thousand ships.
Oh, oh, the printer made an error, it should be a 't' instead of the 'p'!
LOLs
Good for CFK. I think it would be great for the Falklands if she clung onto power.
Jun 21st, 2013 - 10:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Even in more rational times, Argentina was clearly anti-Falklander, so let's hope she runs the place back into the stone age before they manage to oust her.
I can't wait for China to buy the whole place for a few beads and bleed it dry.

Jun 21st, 2013 - 10:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Math: “The problem is that we are not a little country like New Zealand or Chile, so liberalizing the economy has high political costs.”
Jun 22nd, 2013 - 10:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0What exactly do you mean by “little country”. Chile's GDP represents 60% of the Argentine GDP at official rate, and equals 100% at inofficial rate of the Argentine Peso. At it's current pace, Chile will see Argentina as the smaller economy. In market capitalization dimensions, Argentina IS already smaller than Chile.
“ it is simply the right of Argentina’s 40 million people to have a better life and I will continue to risk everything for that as I have done it all my life,” added Cristina Fernández.”

Jun 24th, 2013 - 10:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That is precisely why I named her TMBOA (the mad bitch of Argentina) almost two years ago and have seen no evidence that would cause me to change my mind.
What a brilliant move that could be, change the constitution, tactically not change the presidency term limits, and run for judge =) Personally I'd rather she was still President but as an elected judge (chief justice, surely?) she could still be, to coin a phrase, the spiritual leader of the nation =)
Jun 30th, 2013 - 09:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#1 “That is what dictators do, they change the rules to suit them”
No, dictators are unelected and have the power to “interpret” the rules anywhich way, so of course do so in their own brute personal interests - a perfect description of the current rouge judges of Argentina!
#14 The face that DIDN'T launch a thousand ships, because of her promise of peace and diplomacy on the Falklands issue, which I as a Brit am very grateful for =) But yes, a Helen of Troy when it comes to beauty =)
#19,20 Even more than her stunning looks, her speeches are what attract me to her, she's a great orator with a brilliant sense of humour and irony, which only “mediocre” or biased people would mistake for madness. Although I can only read the translations, in which something is always lost, I would compare her to great English language speakers like Churchill or Galloway =)
