Buon Pranza!

Guess who's coming to lunch at the Vatican today??   President Christina Fernandez de Kirchner!  She's been the president of Argentina since 2007, when her husband, former President Nestor Kirchner, died.  She was reelected in 2011.  She has had her battles with the Pope when he was cardinal of Buenos Aires (she said his position on same-sex marriage was "medieval"), and she lectured France's Sarkozy when he complained about her position toward the euro. She said she doubted he had one cent of Argentine pesos in his banks.  Wouldn't you love to be a mouse in the corner today when she meets the new Pope Francis??  Maybe she'll twitter about it?
