Some people say Bill Clinton’s trying to be like Juan Peron. Well, I knew him, and Bill Clinton’s no Juan Peron.

In fairness, Isabel MartÃnez de Perón succeeded Juan as President of Argentina by virtue of having been elected Vice President and holding that office when he died. She was the first non-royal female head of state in the western hemisphere. Sadly she is now under arrest in Spain for complicity in the disappearance of Argentine leftists in the seventies and not available for comment on the latest husband-wife team to take the political world by storm in America.
Cristina Elizabet Fernández de Kirchner, also an Argentine, is the first wife in history to be elected to succeed her husband (Néstor Kirchner) as president. Based on the results of yesterday’s primaries we may yet see a former President as First Gentleman in the White House. How American!
