Negative. Do Argentineans refer to it as Colea del Nolte?

Oh dear God. no no nooooo please tell me it's a mistake and this didn't happen

The least she could do at this point is learn enough words of Mandarin to apologize for being such an idiot.

Sorry, wasn't that the Spanish Basketball team? Or did Argentina pull that one as well? (Talk about unoriginal, stealing bad jokes from the Spanish!)

The Spanish did it yes, but the Argentines as well -- the women's soccer team, and others (Tevez for instance) on multiple occasions.

The whole world is watching Cristina's implosion. She may not get run out of town the way De la Rúa did, but she could have to hide from the public, if only to avoid mouthing any further stupidities.

Meanwhile, from the True Stories Department: In a Japanese restaurant in Palo Alto, I once saw a sign that said "Waitless wanted."

Cristina and Jeremy Clarkson(Top Gear) would get on like a house on fire

 

[hendiatris]

Penelope Cruz? Don't involve her in this.

 

[sesamosinsal]
