    It’s not like if she didn’t knew dam well herself that the focus will be on her tights. That’s precisely why she used them…She’s sooooo obvious. They are increasingly looking desperate and turning to awkward stuff as the latest poll shows they will fall even further than a 10% gap againgst the FR in the province of BA and the peronist structure is abandoning her day by day… Massa doesn’t even know what to do with all the hoards of deserters that are coming to him and dealing with him under the table…Just no room for them all after October!

    I think they are leggings she is wearing. Not really age appropriate and somewhat 'common'. If she doesn't want her clothes to be the focus of the press she should try dressing with dignity. Three years in widows weeds is bonkers.

    If she had to tell something serious, the press would take over, if she would be serious, she would know how to dress, if she would be 'president-like' and not whore-like people would forgive a 60-year old to make such a fault-pas. Maybe she just had a memory problem and nobody told her she had forgotten to put something on. She 'll catch a cold, but who cares.

    #3 The press is saying a lot of stuff, this was simply mentioned by them, it was in the social media (FB, Twitter) that became viral with the tights business…Though she is not in campaign herself, she has to relinquish a lot of her time backing her unknown candidates. As there is no such thing as bad publicity she decided to use tights

    Good Gracious that women has no dignity. I hope she wears her mourning tights to the UN. That would be funny.

    Elaine.....your really funny tonight. Kirchner and dignity are polar opposites.
    As for no time for shopping......bullshit! She doesn't shop. Everyone in the area knows the stores go to her room.
    She will be in more mourning after SCOTUS moves her on and the October elections coup..(lol). She will be on IV librium and thorazene cocktail. I say add some propynol

    Aerolineas Argentinas lost her luggage and there was nothing to put on. Shops ran out of skirts and dresses.

    @1 CabezaDure is correct - of course Ms Kirchner was aware the press would notice her attire. Does she do anything that isn't stage-managed? If your mode of dress is an attempt to cultivate a section of the electorate of course the press are going to notice.

    @13 Yes pretty much everything, her late husband didn't care that much about the stage on making headlines that much... it’s funny because I was just reading these rumors of her intimate circle advising her having her own daughter now (she is in her early 20s) preparing for some sort running in 2015 elections. Her children have always kept a low profile and they are the only private thing left unexposed. Everything else in the Kirchner family has always been 100% politics…

    MercoPenguin News instead of talking about black tights should be talking about Canadians, Brits and Americans killing innocent women and children in Kenya.

    I'm going to stick up for the jeggings. It's nice to see someone whose been around a long time keep the figure together. It's probably as comfortable as some of the other stuff heads of state wear, and hopefully more so.

    Jeggings are something more substantial than leggings which are more like thick tights. She could look very elegant if she stopped digging into her daughter's wardrobe and toned down the makeup.

    I don't think CFK's daughter has shown any interest in politics. Wasn't she studying some kind of performing arts in New York? Maximo is unlikely to step out of the shadows, he much prefers to run his army of thugs. And even if the Kirchner children were interested I think they will be too tainted by the name by the time CFK leaves office.

    Ms Kirchner The Younger studied film in N.Y. She interrupted her studies when Kirchner The One-eyed passed away. She has since become an actual film-maker, her most recent project a focus on 'social inclusion' with, it will no doubt astonish you, members of La Campora prominently featured amongst the cast.

    @4, 12 One wonders, if you don't like what and how MercoPress reports, you bother to come here. It's not as though you have anything intelligent to contribute.
    @15 Sorry, but you really need to get up to date with socio-politics. Islamic jihadists abandon their “nationalities”. They are just muslim jihadist fanatics. I wonder if you realise that you may be a “target”. All non-believers should be killed or enslaved. The Quran says so. Who do “you” let into “your” country? You're probably in line to be a slave. Already stupid and brainwashed, but can be whipped within an inch of your life to make you work. There's a horrible word for an argie; work. By the way, castration/genital mutilation is a distinct possibility. Can't have the sub-humans reproducing except as required. Hang on; doesn't that sound like Hitler? You shouldn't have any problem with that. Except that, this time, it is you that will classified as sub-human. Untermensch.

    #22 Well I’m sorry but actually that’s a pretty bad assessment. The only thing Maximo gives to La Campora is his surname, and you are right that he will not come out of the shadows because he is lived always in Santa Cruz just taking care of the families business, properties and lands far away from national politics in that take place in BA, Besides it seems Mummy doesn’t trust him very much for politics. De Pedro and Cabandie are the real leaders of the organization. La Campora are not thugs, they are pretty much the champagne ideological backbone of a so called kirchnerist ideology and the organization itself was up till now a highway for ambitious midlife bums with poor CVs to get to the boards of state companies, offices of bureaucrats and congress seats, they have a vast activist network in universities and high schools in the country. Laura Di Marco wrote a very detailed book about them. The far more aggressive and thuggish groups are UyO, Vatallon Militante, Tupac Amaru.

    Perhaps she is merely using a fashion statement,

    Perhaps all of her followers will now start wearing these tights.
    Perhaps? even a new role for her robbing hood government..lol

    As Christina is such an important, global figure, her tights look will grace the front of newspapers just like Lady Di did.
