Overdosing on Lithium for 3 years is destroying her body.
Nov 10th, 2014 - 12:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Apparently the rumors of her demise is what sent her home early. Everyone wants to know who's running the country, the indicted teenage wannabe or Austral Elvis or fat max.
If they were a smart people they would let her dog run the country.
He really couldn't do a worse job and in some respects may be much better.
Antibiotics - it may be that she did suffer from a burst lower bowel, or perhaps it is just 'precautionary' to avoid the risk of septicaemia and toxic poisoning.
Nov 10th, 2014 - 12:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Her picture shows that the palloured and bleached 'mask of death' is upon her;
one must hope, for her sake, that she survives.
Says Dominguez, a CFK party hack:
Nov 10th, 2014 - 03:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“The president is the architect of the future and those who are part of that, with institutional responsibilities, must prioritize the strengthening of our government's decisions,” Dominguez indicated on Sunday.....
The Victory Front lawmaker also criticized the possible candidates for 2015 who had already “self-proclaimed” their intention to run for election....
“I don't think it is a question of self-proclaimed candidacies, I think [the candidate] has to emerge from the party leaders and the Argentine people. We must work towards the building of a project that convinces Argentines,” he underlined...
'The self-proclamation of individual candidates seems very vain to me.' ”
IN OTHER WORDS, it's party politics and the Argentine people don't get to choose the candidates despite the demagogic allusion thereto. That means el modelo will continue and so will the decline of the Arg economy.
The Colon infection is probably caused by one of two things... (a) she is full of shit or (b) she been Rogered once to often by her fellow politicians.
Nov 10th, 2014 - 04:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0She can now have 10 days off to sit counting her embezzled funds !
Perhaps the next g-something can be held in Argentina, thus this poor overworked exhausted foolish woman wont have to far to travel...lol
Nov 10th, 2014 - 08:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hope that she is OK.
Nov 10th, 2014 - 08:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If she died they might actually find someone who could pose a real threat to us.
@6 Viscount Falkland,
Think that you hit the nail right on its head.! lol.
I think I would also be looking a bit pale if I thought there was a good chance I would be swinging from a lamp post come Friday morning...
Nov 10th, 2014 - 08:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0perhaps if they spent money on sanitation rather than weapons and matches to burn tires, they might not get infections in their poopers
Nov 10th, 2014 - 10:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0then again its probably caused by her talking out of her ass too much
I hope she gets better, imagine if she died, the Argentine people would have their own star wars light figures. I presume she would be Yoda, fester was darth vader, and eva peron was Obi wan eh, well in their minds, lunatics in ours
This song is dedicated undoubtedly to all ANGLOS out there. The first stanzas in particular fit like a glove to perspicuously explicate the Anglo mentality to the T and the I.

“You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know
You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew...”
Explains the last 400 years of Anglo behavior around this Earth.
Looks like to I the racist has returned. Poor little rg.......and I do mean poor.

No they wouldn't want that - grassroots representation of agendas and issues that concern the average Argentine citizen.
EUians, NorthAmoans, Anglos, and Ozzers know more about racism than I'll ever know.

Nov 11th, 2014 - 04:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0“The poor woman looks like a ghost.” Well she has obviously been drained of sh!t and hence her pale appearance.
However, I am with lsolde in that her continued performance as the Argentine president is important and fully supported by people such as myself. No Argentine president has done more for helping the Falkland Islanders gain a sense of nationhood than her.
Troll #11 and 14
Nov 11th, 2014 - 09:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0You raise again the interesting question of serial invasions of 'superior' races.
And you are right in quoting the song, but wrong in your assertion.
The invaders that swept across the Continent were the Spanish and Portuguese, with a bit of Dutch, French, and British.
Were they 'better' than the savage, the man in the loin cloth, the bare-breasted woman? Of course not, in most respects; they just competed better.
But it happened
- as it has happened throughout history,
- as it will happen in future history,
- as it will always happen in the social and power dynamics of the world's mobile and socially-evolving societies.
But don't be confused, this is NOT an English thing.
You are looking at the Continent in one direction through the wrong end of an old telescope.

LOOOOOOOOL, excellent example of a statement that is its own refutation.
tobi, yet you are the one posting racist statements. .....time after time.
Nov 11th, 2014 - 09:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0I guess this is why CFK went to a private clinic..although they're really no better/ This is supposed to be one of the best Hospitals in the country:

Bahahahahaha
I told you healthcare is scary there.
@20 On the contrary, there are some very good doctors. Unfortunately, good health care is often cost prohibitive, and like many things you need to have connections.
Nov 11th, 2014 - 01:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The issue is that there are people being employed in hospitals that have no business there. For instance, you can have a doctor that may save a patient in a surgery in the same hospital with idiot nurses that are too incompetent to work as maids, and an rude receptionist that doesn't even know her way around the hospital.
We have plenty of good doctors, it's the lack of certain equipment, medications, and competent support staff are the problem. The latter three cost my elderly neighbor his life. His body temperature started dropping, and the nurses put a hot water bottle under his feet (as if that would've made a difference), and didn't notify an actual doctor until he went critical. Idiots.
21. I agree I had very nice docs in Arg, but I would never go back to a Hospital/Clinic again. They are run down, dirty and dangerous. Thank goodness I never got really sick when I lived there. I can't imagine what its like now after they've blocked imports.
Nov 11th, 2014 - 03:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The gov't is literally killing people by withholding meds.
Argentina is one virus away from a healthcare catastrophe.
I must say she is looking a little 'peaky'. Is it for real, or is she just scared to leave the country and needs an excuse not to visit Australia for the summit?
Nov 11th, 2014 - 05:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0hmmm... one does wonder.
Always a problem with liars. Never sure if the are telling the truth or just 'crying wolf' when it comes to something important.
@18, 19
Nov 12th, 2014 - 12:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0Wait... so now pointing out what is historically obvious: that British, Europeans, North Americans, etc. have held very racist views at various points throughout history (including recent history), makes one a racist??
So I guess acts or instances of racism cannot be decried anymore, because it is racist towards the racist. Got it.
One has to ask if she will last until the 2015 elections?
Nov 12th, 2014 - 02:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0Will she use her infirmity to gain sympathy and support for whoever her new Peronist Puppet replacement?

Nov 12th, 2014 - 03:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0I think she was scared to visit Australia for two main reasons. It is hard to believe the own sh!t you are peddling when you see how a successful country works. And secondly because her economic model, which she had rubbed faces in over the past decade has been a case of the the Empress' New Clothes so to speak.
She is the odd one out at the G20 and let's face it, she really likes to be the centre of attention, such as now, so couldn't face being relegated to the sidelines - probably with Spain and Russia.
There is little the G20 nations have to offer anyways, so it is not an important priority for Argentina, who has successfully cut trade with many of those countries.
Nov 12th, 2014 - 03:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0Troy she will most likely limp through until 2015. Think about it, what does she do? Does she talk to the press? no Capitanich does
Nov 12th, 2014 - 11:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0does she address congress? No capitanich and kissitoff does
does she address the military(snicker) ? No Rossi does
WTF does she do? If this is added value........Argentina is in deeper shit than they think they are.
The is a new protest march coming
“Argentine president begins ten-day resting period in Olivos”
Nov 13th, 2014 - 09:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That's a standard siesta, right amigos?
@8 Isolde
“Hope that she is OK.
If she died they might actually find someone who could pose a real threat to us.”
Well if it's soon.......
“ She will be replaced by Economy minister Axel Kicillof and Foreign minister Hector Timerman”
So with those morons in charge it is fair to say the Falklands are safe.
Your point is taken-CFK might be a sour failed lawyer, but the way she's kick started your sleep walking MLA's into life she couldn't be a greater asset for Falkland's self determination.
I hope Mercopress takes pictures when the FIG eventually honour her contribution to Falkland Island prosperity and increasing self autonomy, by unveiling her statue near her beloved Port Louis, unless as the new 'Falklands Argentina secretary/minister (?)', you might instead, have it dropping its brass botox over Ushuaia (when it becomes part of the Falkland Islands).......
i'd like to draw a coparison if I may
Nov 14th, 2014 - 07:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0there are so many Argentinians on here that always defend and say how much they support her and her actions.
To me this is very like the days under the Junta. Remember the attack on the Falklands? People were celebrating in the street, offering their jewels and personal wealth to support the actions
Then, when the Junta collapses, thanks partly to the actions of Mrs Thatcher, Argentinians say they were forced, or never agreed with what was happening.
Will we see the same once CFK pops off to see the one eyed bandit in the sky? (mind you, my own thoughts are she should be looking down not up, lol)
