Oct 08th, 2013 - 06:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Its all fake! Constructed Sympathy stunt nothing more.
Oct 08th, 2013 - 07:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0The last throw of the dice!
I think it is true. The operation is low-risk in a healthy person but she has heart and blood-pressure problems that would make any surgery risky.
Oct 08th, 2013 - 08:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0I don't actually think she would get a sympathy vote on this because people are so disenchanted with her constant lies. More likely they will feel she is too ill to continue running the country.
“Cristina Fernandez’s surgery is considered low risk as it doesn’t involve contact with the brain, said Pedro Lylyk, a brain surgeon at the Eneri clinic in Buenos Aires.”
Oct 08th, 2013 - 09:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0That would need to involve one in the first place. A year and a half ago she had cancer surgery for none existent cancer. Now she is having brain surgery for a none existent brain.
Reality scenarios:
1-A feeble attempt to gain another sympathy vote as in her last campaign because of the death of Nasty Nestor. However I think the Argentines are exhausted of the BS and thievery.
2-Will she have an accident during surgery? The FvP's way of washing their hands of her?
Either way, after the elections, the wolves will turn and feed on themselves. She will be first in the oven.

@7 Says it all.
Oct 08th, 2013 - 09:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0I still think it's spin, but if she croaks I will glady admit I was wrong!
Oct 08th, 2013 - 10:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Ha, ha, ha.
Her head is full of sh1t - no wonder.
Oct 08th, 2013 - 10:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0@6 “A year and a half ago she had cancer surgery for none existent cancer. Now she is having brain surgery for a none existent brain.”
Oct 08th, 2013 - 11:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0Brilliant! A true LOL from me.
Of course it is low risk. What is the worst that can happen?
Oct 08th, 2013 - 01:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Any odds that there will be some “mysterious” complication? Just a wee bit more insurance to garner more sympathy votes.
Oct 08th, 2013 - 01:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Renewing his call for union and cooperation facing the unexpected news about the President’s health condition, Daniel Scioli said Argentineans must come “united with responsibility, leaving aside all confrontation spirit.” ”
Oct 08th, 2013 - 02:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Not at all good manners to milk the President's illness for maximum political gain - while she is under the knife. Is that the Argentine way?
14) Do you have any idea of what Scioli has had put up with for 10 years now from Cristina and her hubby?? Still, Scioli has only himself to blame for...
Oct 08th, 2013 - 03:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@15 I was really countering the jibes on the board suggesting we shouldn't take pot shots at the President whilst she is ill. If Argentines are going make a meal out of her illness, it makes her fair game. That is politics.
Oct 08th, 2013 - 03:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ok, I see you what you mean.
Oct 08th, 2013 - 04:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“The operation was successful and Cristina is in good spirits”

Oct 08th, 2013 - 05:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I was following the story on the World section of the Daily Torygraph and below was a sponsored ad from a heating company “Do you need a new boiler?”
Oct 08th, 2013 - 05:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I had to raise a chuckle!
I loved the report that 'dozens' of Kirchnerites were holding a vigil outside the hospital. LOL! Dozens. Wow.
Oct 08th, 2013 - 06:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Come gentlemen, respect please….
Oct 08th, 2013 - 06:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0She is dying,
We should show her the same respect as she has shown us in the past, please,
Still,
The plastic is cracking, the face is drooping,
The head is a bleeding mess,
And no doubt its all our fault..lol
.
She is not dying, they caught it in time, do not wish her dead, but makes me feel sad for the others they do not catch!
Oct 08th, 2013 - 08:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I was just thinking that Boudou hasn't taken her on the back of his (spit) Harley, has he?
Oct 08th, 2013 - 09:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Mind you these things are so slow you could only fall off the back by dropping off to sleep: ha, just realised that the banging and other assorted noises of the (spit) engine wouldn't allow that to happen.
All will come to those who wait lol.
Oct 09th, 2013 - 06:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Get well soon Cristinita, the world still needs you. And what a lovely picture, how beautiful she is even without makeup =)

28 ChrisR (#) I quite agree, she causes me acute shrinkage!!!
Oct 10th, 2013 - 11:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#28 I stand by what I said, she has great natural features and looks much younger than her age even without makeup; even more importantly for true beauty, she's showing great dignity and poise in what must be a difficult and unwelcome situation
Oct 11th, 2013 - 08:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0#29 Maybe you're intimidated? Not every man likes a strong woman...
