    A psychiatric exam might have been more useful.

    So they have a special unit for the President? She doesn't just go to a Private Hospital or Doctor? Wonder why?

    So that means that her already damaged brain hasn't suffered any additional harm. Good to know.

    So she's still psychotic, criminal, corrupt, mendacious and larcenous? It must make a medical examination very difficult.
    Doctor: How do you feel?
    CFK: Fine.
    Doctor: Is that a lie or the truth?
    CFK: It's the truth.
    Doctor: Is that a lie or the truth?
    Here's a thought. Cut the cow's head off. See whether she still says “Fine”!

    “President Cristina Fernandez is scheduled to fly on Friday to the Patagonian province of Santa Cruz,”

    Which the Argentines colonised, kicking the natives out like the Imperialists they are.

    “where she is scheduled to attend on Saturday the Lake Feast and on Sunday celebrate her son Maximo birthday.”

    So her jet will be crammed full of pies-that's just for Maximo's breakfast-a chartered Antonov An 24 will bring lunch as the US refused to release a C5 Galaxy until there was a pre-payment of $

    The Chinese will be sending a cargo aircraft full of desert later on.....

    Of course, the controls were satisfactory.

    No brain, heart still pumping, controlled by spinal nerves.

    Get well soon Christina you are doing a wonderful job with the Argentine economy and promoting the aspirations of the Falkland Islanders to a worldwide audience.

    “But despite all the medical problems and regular checkups the Argentine president seems well in command of her government”

    Sure she is.

    More like,“ under house arrest”, by the 'real' government until they decide what to do with her

    When she eventually pops her clogs she has specifically asked not to be embalmed in order to escape the same fate as Evita. Wishful thinking if you ask me.

    I was hopeful that the original “blood clot” on her brain would have been strong enough by now to take over all the cognitive functions of the “body” that is TMBOA.

    Even without original thought the blood clot would represent an order of magnitude greater computing power from the president’s brain.

    And just to bring a sense of well deserved jollity to the proceedings I give you:

    “satisfactory brain control”...she never had satisfactory brain control and is ruining the country's economy, as all dictators do!

    @ 19 Briton
    “apparently she is south Americas answer to Helen of troy,”

    I think those who say that have her mixed up with the wooden horse. That was stuffed by big hairy men who likes nothing more than to practice their “sword” on unsuspecting foreigners “nod, nod, wink, wink, you know what I mean?”

    All very uncharitable folks, please have a bit of decorum and note just how much this woman has done to strengthen the cause of the Falkland Islanders and denude the case for Argentina.

    There are very few other people who could possibly have done as much to strengthen the global case for the Islanders than this one woman, and is such a very short period of time.... wishing her ill is uncalled for.
