MEXICAN OFFICIAL CAUGHT STEALING BLACKBERRIES AT WHITEHOUSE Mexican official caught stealing White House Blackberries, invokes diplomatic immunity By Michelle Malkin • April 24, 2008 11:54 AM You are not going to believe this story. It is really something else. The White House, I predict, will look the other way at the flagrant law-breaking by a Mexican official caught on tape by the Secret Service filching U.S. government property. After all, looking the other way at systemic law-breaking by Mexico is the official Bush policy. Fox News has the scoop: Whether he was up to no good or simply desperate to play BrickBreaker, a Mexican press attaché was caught on camera by Secret Service pocketing several White House BlackBerries during a recent meeting in New Orleans, FOX News has learned. Sources with knowledge of the incident said the official, Rafael Quintero Curiel, served as the lead press advance person for the Mexican Delegation and was responsible for handling logistics and guiding the Mexican media around at the conference. He took six or seven of the handheld devices from a table outside a special room in the hotel where the Mexican delegation was meeting with President Bush earlier this week. Everyone entering the room was required to leave his or her cell phone, BlackBerry and other such devices on the table, a common practice when high-level meetings are held. American officials discovered their missing belongings when they were leaving the session. It didn’t take long before Secret Service officials reviewed videotape taken by a surveillance camera and found footage showing Quintero Curiel absconding with the BlackBerries. At first, Quintero Curiel denied the criminal acts. But when confronted with the tape, he chalked it up to an “accident”–then promptly invoked diplomatic immunity: He initially denied taking the devices, but after agents showed him the DVD, Quintero Curiel said it was purely accidental, gave them back, claimed diplomatic immunity and left New Orleans with the Mexican delegation. It is unclear what disciplinary measures, if any, await him in Mexico. White House spokeswoman Dana Perino refused to discuss the incident, telling FOX News, “We are aware of the situation, but as it’s under investigation by law enforcement officials, we will decline to comment.” Just looting the White House electronic devices Americans won’t loot… *** Now, imagine if it were an American government official caught south of the border stealing Mexican government property michellemalkin.com

AS states that Obama is very liberal, black and INEXPERIENCED. He cannot carry key states. To: stockman_scott who wrote (720) 1/4/2007 5:47:57 PM From: American Spirit of 19093 Obama is very liberal, black and INEXPERIENCED. Plus he can deny it all he likes but he was raised by a Muslim. Despite his amazing personality, he would have a very hard time winning a single purple state, and could easily lose light blue states which are predominantly white and moderate. That is McCain's strength, places like Ohio, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Iowa, Florida. Gore or Kerry could win all those states, plus maybe Virginia and COlorado. Obama could lose them all. Therein lies the difference. Dems cannot afford to nominate anyone who cannot take away a big chunk of McCain's moderate white swing-voter support. Always remember, none of the solid blue states or red states matter. Only the ones inbetween. That is why the leftist alternative candidate is never nominated in the end, though he usually turns on the base beore the voting begins. And it is also why McCain is a formidable candidate
