ARGENTINA has made a formal complaint to Uruguay today after the country's leader seemingly made some rather disparaging remarks aimed at president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and her late husband.Jose Mujica reportedly called his Argentine counterpart an "old hag," without knowing his microphone was switched on last night.
*tap tap* "is this thing on?"
He was heard telling, Carlos Enciso, the governor of Uruguay's Florida province: "That old hag's worse than the cross-eyed one," referring to Ms Kirchner's late husband and former Argentinian president Nestor Kirchner.
"he weirded me out"
"Cross-eyes was more of a politician, she's just stubborn," he added.
The irate Buenos Aires swiftly responded with an official protest, calling the comments "unacceptable".
"she's not that old!"
