2. And here's the kicker: he wasn't even ELIGIBLE

The Buenos Aires city constitution is unambiguous: that all mayoral candidates must have been born in Buenos Aires, or have lived there continuously (as a citizen, of course) for at least five years.

That greasebag's neither!

He was born in Tandíl, a small city about 200 mi south (like Mauricio, because the Macris own a large estate there); and for the last 12 years has been mayor of Vicente López - an upscale, neighboring suburb.

Jorge did recently but an apartment in uptown Buenos Aires - as if that made any difference.

But the right-wing voters in BA have zero self-respect, besides being laughably uninformed. A lot of them actually think Vicente López is "a Buenos Aires neighborhood" - they are that dimwitted.

Trust me: like our Republicans, most are racist snobs who think they know everything.

Which is ironic, since Jorge Macri (unlike his very white cousin), looks like a casting reject for Scorsese movie.

Acts like one, too.

Oh, well. Qué será.

Thanks as always, Judi, and have a great week - and hopefully not too hot.
