She fought the good fight til the very end - including against this Idi Amin-like Javier Milei, who was elected last November (since which the already-brittle country has been pushed into an outright depression - while he does nothing but fly around to RW shindigs and play with his dogs).

But, as always, she did it with dignity and elegance.

When asked, just before his inaugural, what she thought of Milei (and his openly pro-dictatorship VP), she said:

"We have a beautiful country, with many people qualified to be president. This was a great mistake."

"We'll have to fight hard - given that he's someone whose fascism comes through every time he speaks."
