    And so the legacy re-write starts immediately. Ypf and Aerolineas are now success stories. Funny that.

    Come on in, people of the opposition, we need someone to blame.

    Can anyone explain why she is not missing hair from the surgery??
    More smoke and mirrors from the old hag, no real changes.
    Just unbelievable how naive people can be to continue supporting her.

    “What we need is that all the Argentine leadership, no matter what party, commits to sustain labour and jobs, national industry, education, technology so that this effort keeps advancing and is worth it”.

    My! That's a new model for governing a country.
    I wonder why she never thought of it before everything went Pete Tong.

    “the same competitors have underlined how efficient the company is being managed”

    Can anyone find an actual quote that can be attributed to a competing airline about Aerolineas Argentina?

    Any link in any language!

    I mean, I would hate to call her a liar but if the wig fits!

    @2 Maybe what they meant by “hematoma” was “cosmetic surgery, a shopping spree, and a trip the Seychelles”.

    “admitted to difficulties in building a 'competitive' national industry”

    I wonder why.

    So CFK calls for the opposition to give her their manifesto so she can cherry pick ideas from it. Hmmmmm.

    It's going to cost more than 100s of millions to fix the infrastructure, after they pay compensation to Respsol, maybe, just maybe the International comuntry may consider investing in Argi again. My thoughts are that it maybe after she has left office.

    I can't help but be reminded of the phrase “fly my pretties” when I see this picture.

    “do they make plasters big enough for that head?”

    Yes, they are know as cement overcoats and used to be popular with the NY Mafia, though in this case they would have to suspend her by her heels and lower her in head first.

    Seems a good idea to me!

    The new Kris is so fake, I think I prefer the old “despicable” Kris. That way you know what you are getting. Good or bad, her reign is over.

    ”because we have no prejudice”.

    Except against Uruguay, Chile, the USA, The UK, Spain, the Falkland Islanders etc etc etc.

    “fly my pretties” is an antipodean pop group.
    I always thought they were acoustic, close-harmony wizards from Aus.,
    but I find they are from NZ!
