Ungracious to the end, spouting propaganda, and plastered in inches of make-up,
White lace dresses must be a thing in Argentina right now. Mrs. Macri wore one the following day. Macy‘s has Cristina’s dress on sale for $85.
She moaned, “At midnight they are turning me into a pumpkin,” when a judge issued an order that ended her presidency at midnight on Wednesday, and did not leave her car when confronted by protestors in front of her house after the rally,
(“Chorra” means thief.)
In keeping with her character, Cristina ransacked the Casa Rosada of telephones, TVs, computers, and bed linens. Sound familiar?
The water heater‘s not working, either.
As mentioned earlier, Cristina didn’t show up for Macri’s inauguration. Macri showed up on time, catching the media (which had grown used to hours-long waits for prima donna assoluta Cristina) by surprise, gave a brief speech, and did a little dance when urged by the crowd.
Evo Morales, Juan Manuel Santos and Michelle Bachelet were on their best behavior. Former king of Spain Juan Carlos did not bring any ivory souvenirs.
Rafael Correa, on the other hand, tripped on the red carpet at Macri’s inauguration on Thursday and had to grab on to him to avoid falling
“I nearly brought down the government”, quipped Correa at a reception for foreign heads of state after Macri’s swearing-in, which ended 12 years of leftist populism in Argentina.
“Not so quickly,” Macri shot back, to the laughter of onlookers in the elegant San Martín Palace.
During the lunch, security removed Correa from the premises when he loudly protested that they were being served crappy wine,”It’s the limit when we’re served wine that’s not even worth $100 a bottle.”
Correa insisted that he does not inflict cheap hooch upon his guests, serving instead wine worth $300 a bottle.
Bonus question:
Guess which of all the above items is from a humor/satire website. (Macy’s dress still available on most sizes)
In more serious news, the new Minister of Justice announced the creation of a department for the investigation of Alberto Nisman’s death.

Interesting comment from a populist, from a man of the people.
From the link:
Evo Morales, presidente de Bolivia y amigo de Correa, dijo que “Rafael estaba bravo, hay que entenderlo, con esto de que Cristina ya no esté y lo que le pasó a Nicolás. Yo lo tomo más relajado y me fui a jugar fútbol con Mauricio”, explicó.
Tr: Evo Morales, President of Bolivia and friend of Correa, said that “Rafael was teed off. You have to understand it’s that Cristina isn’t around any more and what happened to Nicholas [Maduro]. I took it in a more relaxed manner and went to play soccer with Maurico,” he explained,.
Except that Evo doesn’t always play soccer in a relaxed manner, such as the time he kneed an opponent in the groin.
The Correa wine incident came from the humor site!
Egg on my face. Oh well. I am not the first person who did not detect online humor- nor will I be the last.
Don’t feel bad – all the items (except the one on the Nisman investigation) read like something out of The Onion.
