Live from the Casa Rosada

[rabs]

Argentines pay homage to Kirchner. Some people waited up to 19 hours outside the Casa Rosada. Evo, Mujica, and Pinera just spoke.

For Peronistas, the loss of Kirchner is up there with the deaths of Evita and Juan Domingo Peron.

4. The timing is horrendous, considering he was likely to run in the next election.

He did SO MUCH for his country, brought it SO FAR from the depths of the ditch into which _Bush family friend, Carlos Saul Menem drove it after he arranged complete immunity for all the war criminals from the Dirty War.

Nestor Kirchner was a strong, strong President who could NOT be bought, and he paid the price on the way to become President of his country. It cost him dearly to live as an honest, conscientious man of honor.
