McCain campaign sells bargain Blackberries loaded with private info
Wow. Just when you thought the anecdotes of just how incompetent the McCain campaign was were over, we get this...
Private information at bargain prices. It was a high-tech flub at the McCain-Palin campaign headquarters in Arlington when Fox 5’s Investigative Reporter Tisha Thompson bought a Blackberry device containing confidential campaign information.
It started with a snippet we read on page A23 in Thursday’s Washington Post. The McCain-Palin campaign was going to sell its used office inventory at low prices.
I can understand trying to recoup some of your election season loses, but is there any excuse for this kind of incompetence? Geez.
The FOX reporter called a few of the numbers stored in the phone's memory and got this classic response.
“They should have wiped that stuff out,” another said. But he added, “Given the way the campaign was run, this is not a surprise.”
Yep. That bout sums it all up.
In summation: They can't campaign, they can't govern, and they can't retain personal information. Yup. Palin 2012! lol.
At least them gays can't get married. What a trainwreck - fucking GOP - the only "party" that could fuck up a wet dream. losers...
...I'm taking bets on how many weeks into the new year the first one rolls off the presses.
Anybody interested in meeting Cheney for 15000$ in Wyoming 20jan?
CHEYENNE -- Vice President Dick Cheney will waste no time getting back to Wyoming after he and President George Bush officially leave office next month.
Cheney and wife Lynne are slated to fly to Casper immediately after the Jan. 20 inauguration ceremony for a reception that night at the home of family friends Mick and Susie McMurry, said state Treasurer Joe Meyer, a longtime friend of the Cheneys.
Only if they hold a lottery where the winner gets to kick Cheney in the ass
And people wanted this man with his finger on the button. Dipshits all of em'.
Your talking about an entire party of people who would change their values if they heard the right slogan or read the right bumper sticker. Your talking about a group of people who while in debt are saying the Democrats want to take away their wealth. This is not a "smart" group of people.
I swear they would all be Dem's tomorrow if someone would run the story that Newt eats live babies or Rush got married to Hannity, but then would change back the very next day because Newt, Rush and Hannity would all come out and say it was the liberal media - and the knuckle-draggers would all come right back into he Repug's party.
Remember this is a group of people who believe sexual preference can be cured, and that if you give enough rich people all the money then all us poor slobs would get what "trickles down" - this is not a smart group of people!
...because John McCain still calls his computer the "Internet machine", so how the hell would he know that little 'black thingy' stored information?
Just thought ye all should know ...someone decided to burn down Sarah Palin's church ....read it here >>> http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/matsu/story/62...
Sarah seems to think those 'liberals who were mean to her' were to blame for starting the fire. *rolling eyes*
I read the article about the "everything must go" reslug campaign sale when it was first announced and laughed. I said to my husband, "Hey hon, want to get hold of a whole bunch of personal info and campaign secrets? Let's buy a laptop from the mcsame campaign."
LOL! No shit. I've actually been expecting this story.
It was only a matter of time.
Too funny.
Hey if nothing else at least mcsame and his clown car full of "experts" gave us some laughs.
Wonder if any of them are used enough to contain any of those 5 million missing e-mails.
far left loon >.<
porn and hookers.
Porn And Hookers....Why am I thinking that should be the name of ys's blog?
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
Hookers and Porn.

But I already own that one.
:P

Once a hack...always a hack.
If the computers still have the user accounts in them then I am willing to bet that they do not bother to use a deguasser on the hard drives. I bet they just delete the user accounts and call it good. Someone is going to buy these hard drives and recover the data. I bet they find out and share with the rest of us all sorts of nasty things.
I bet all employees were fired as of 5:00 PM, election day and there was nobody "in charge" of cleaning up these machines so they were put out just as the FSM left 'em.
And 46% of the American people voted for these imbeciles!
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
Some people are good at campaigning and bad at governing (e.g. Bush/Rove).
There are no doubt people who would be good at governing, but who never get a chance because they suck at campaigning.
But given McCain's impulsive and emotional bent, I have to believe that his governance would have sucked at least as much ass as did his campaign.
A couple of years ago an acquaintance asked if I could help them with a new computer they had just acquired. It came from the Klobuchar campaign. They couldn't logon to it and the person that they had acquired it from didn't have the relevant information. Long story short - the PC still had campaign information on it. I deleted all the user accounts and any related information. I also sent Senator Klobuchar an email about proper disposal of computer equipment.
