1. Carlos Menem was a fast friend of the whole family of George H. W. Bush.

There's a funny photo which has been withdrawn from public circulation showing him with Zulima Yoma, his first wife, entering the White House with George H. W. Bush, and Zulima looks furious. It wasn't long until she was out and he married a former "Miss Universe":



Yoma, the first wife.



Yoma, the first wife.



Yoma, the first wife.

The New One:











Once Menem had made the ultimate fool of himself,
the second wife, Cecilia Bolocco divorced him.



Did he ask to be buried in a Ferrari?

It was important to be reminded Carlos Menem delivered pardons to loathsome Dirty War criminals who wildly abused, tortured, murdered political prisoners, and made safe from officials who should have locked them away, instead. Important to remember he gleefully became a Senator, just like Chile's dictator Pinochet, and completely sidestepped any and all opportunities to try him for his personal crimes against the people of Argentina.

This summary of his pathetic life is wonderful, hitting on all the important features of a man living for himself at the desperate expense of the working people of Argentina.

Thank you, sandensea.
