    The surgery was successful: no brain was found.

    Remember Spitting Image and the Presidents brain? In the end it turned out to be a walnut! I wonder what was found when they looked inside.... an empty void.....a gallon of botox..or..a big clot? Judging by her skills as a national leader, economic ability and diplomatic skills, my moneys on the last one!

    Thirty years ago I was in a pub with a friends, one of them a real nice guy, with three young kids was suffering from a severe head ache, said he was going home and would see us again. Well we never did see him again. If only.

    Good luck to her, hope recovers well.

    I second that, we have all got use to her tactics and rhetoric. All predictable and nothing new!

    It is ironic but her health seems to be in symbiosis with the Argentine economy. She has used botox in the same way the economy has used INDEC. I think it is now the green mile for both.

    Seriously though, hope she recovers and comes back soon.

    The alternative? They may find someone who actually knows WTF they are doing, nothing to worry about, but I should think HMG likes consistency!

    Its a scam aimed at her people!
    a fake injury so she cannot answer questions and will gain her sympathy during mid term elections. shes done it before.......

    #11 I think it's only the diehard idiots that remain to vote for them out of sympathy. That vast majority wishes her a safe and speedy trip to her hubby, Nasty “Eagle Eye” Nestor.

    Because of all the lies & deception that we hear from politicians these days, nobody really knows the truth about CFK's condition

    There is a general feeling amongst the opposition that the situation is being exaggerated to win sympathy votes as in 2011 although this is not a general election & the voting public should be a little wiser

    Others believe it's an exit strategy because she can see the writing on the wall & her overinflated ego will not accept a personal defeat

    Either way just as we have been saying for a while now, it's very unlikely that she will finish her current term due to health or other personal reasons since she doesn't want the legacy of a lame duck president........ cambios vienen!!!

    Even if she really is ill and she probably is, I cannot for the life of me she why one would vote for her and her party just out of sympathy when her party single handed created the current state of affairs in Argentina.......it's a ludicrous concept. Sympathy in 2010 brought Argentina where it is today, I can't see it happening again. In her mind it may seem plausible but unlikely.

    Dilma taught her old friend and Argentina's gang chief Kretina to get sick, a surgery before the elections... compassionate idiots would vote for her the same way Dilma got elected!

    From the photo Scoccimarro looks to have had his ears pierced. Why and on whose orders?

    ”The president is recovering from anaesthesia”, Scioli said during a ceremony in the San Martin borough.

    It just the heroin and triple dose lithium to overcome now and we will see the real president!

    From an atheist: heaven forbid.

    It all sounds like utter horseshit at a highly convenient time, with even more convenient symptoms.....“Speaking problems” “Loss of strength in arms and legs”,
    a prelude to “No standing and answering questions during mid term elections”
    very convenient indeed!
    as for “tingling in extremities” isn't that pre-orgasm?? probably the only truth in the whole farce!

    To rumours that Maximo is running things, the response Kirchnerites is, but he has always been running things. Words to that effect. Who voted Fat Max president?
