What do you do when someone rambles and rambles and won’t make a point? One Argentinian politician has an answer: you slap him.
Graciela Camano is the opposition leader in Argentina. When her arch nemesis Carlos Kunkel wouldn’t stop talking during an Upper House session recently, Camano did what any self-respecting, law-abiding legislator would do:
Gawker reports that Camano later offered an explanation:
[Kunkel] wore me out because I have been putting up with him all year long. He kept shouting without making a single proposal.

Posted on November 18, 2010 at 8:39pmSlapping someone you disagree with is so passe. Just ask radical Muslims. Sorry for the politically incorrect statement. She should be arrested. If someone is annoying you, walk away.

Posted on November 18, 2010 at 12:17pmWith guys, the worst thing you can do is slap another man. You are telling the other person that he doesn’t even obtain enough respect to get punched…that he isn’t worth the effort, and so you give him a girl slap.
But to have a girl slap a guy…now that is really nasty. She is confirming that this guy lacks cajones.

Posted on November 18, 2010 at 11:41amOK I’m no political scientist here and would never claim ta’ be one.
Report Post »But I do know that ALL countries (even the socialist ones) that still hold quazi legitimate elections have the equivalence to our own Democrat vs. Republicans type parties. (With others mixed in)
The reason I refer to “Quazi” is even we here in the states (in an obvious sortta’ way) can’t even seem to get it right without someone cheatin’.
My question is….Which party does this lil’ spitfire with the from-behind-the-back-slap-attack…..represents?
A progressive or conservative brand.
My instincts tell who it “seems” to be…..But I was wrong once before when I thought I was wrong!
Am I right …..Again?

Perhaps Jonathon, instead of assaulting those you disagree with, then quickly turning your back and quickly walking away, it would be better to simply turn your back and not respond to those you disagree with, instead of physically assaulting and battering them and then running away.
The actions the woman took, made her look like a gutless coward.

Posted on November 18, 2010 at 8:22amI could see a huge double take on this story if it was reversed with a man slapping a woman instead of a woman slapping a man. I don’t think you need to take it that far to get your opposition to stop talking but what I would do is keep interuptting him call him a pink elephant stuff like that until he stops talking then you throw a key argument at him that shuts him up and you win the debate.

Posted on November 18, 2010 at 8:34amInstead of a slap, how about each receives a paddling with a switch? Or a bullwhip? Maybe even the old fashion, over the knee hand stimulates the posterior treatment imposed by parents of old on the disobediant kids?
