[Mount Athos]

Whether he was up to no good or simply desperate to play BrickBreaker, a Mexican press attache was caught on camera by Secret Service pocketing several White House BlackBerries during a recent meeting in New Orleans, FOX News has learned.

[Wiseghy]

Maybe he thought they were strawberries and....

aww, never mind. ;->

[JSteff]

” it is unclear what disciplinary measures, if any, await him in Mexico”

Well he will not get his raise or his better job. Most likely it was deliberate

[M203M4]

the man claimed to have taken [the seven White House blackberries] accidentally.

I hate it when that happens.

[2ndDivisionVet]

He’ll be punished for NOT stealing the Blackberries he was told to steal for his compadres, is all....

[hamboy]

Diplomatic immunity!

[yarddog]

Actually, stealing them probably was his job.

[The KG9 Kid]

Spy.

[norton]

El Dos Oh Siete just ran out of prepaid minutes.

[Mount Athos]

I wonder when the people at the meeting will notice that their hub caps were missing too

[weegee]

Just liberating them for Aztlan.

[trumandogz]

The thief in question has Diplomatic Immunity.

[dennisw]

Nothing good comes from Mexico. A den of thieves and parasites. OK Some good Mexicans live here but they are not God’s gift to mankind. It’s a perverted dysfunctional nation which will soon lose any usefulness to us because they are trashing their oil industry through stupidity, not allowing US firms with superior technology to explore and show how to better extract and pump out the oil

[trumandogz]

He was simply stealing items that Louisiana elected officials are unwilling to steal.

[SpaceBar]

Has anyone informed Rip Van Bush? Oh that’s right, he’s napping.

[BigCinBigD]

Ahh, but the strawberries that’s... that’s where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I’d have produced that key if they hadn’t of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers...

Oh. You said “Blackberrys”....never mind.

[kenth]

There are things Louisiana politicians won’t steal?

[KingNo155]

Hang him high he is nothing more than a spy!

[trumandogz]

Just stealing the things that Louisiana Politicians are unable to steal.

[Right Wing Assault]

“Hey, man, choo can’t arrest me! I was hongry and I taught some of doze blackberries would taste real good for mah lonch. Buy dey were a beat to cronchy for me. I doan tink dey was ripe, choo know! Probly some steenken Mescan peeked dem too early.”

So shoot him in a diplomatic fashion.

Dress him in a tux first.

[ArrogantBustard]

SOB has diplomatic immunity ... so the best we can do is declare him persona non grata.

[conejo99]

Obviously that must include my wife, but does it also include our kids?

[weegee]

So shoot him in a diplomatic fashion.

Dress him in a tux first.

[savedbygrace]

“I was jest gonna clean them and give them right back to the people, man. They were dirty.”

[weegee]

He’s persona non grata under THAT identity. He can go to any flea market and buy a new one. If he has trouble at the border, he can pay a coyote to shuttle him across so he can do those things he cannot do at home to earn a dollar.

[joebuck]

They may also want to check their silverware and hubcaps.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Like that!

[SwinneySwitch]

Ping!

Well ... they are SOOOoo pleasant and tasty,
who could blame him ?!?!?!

:^D

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe!

Can you say ... Sandy Berger ??? :)

[dennisw]

No nation has a right to invade us via illegal immigration

Mexico is a disaster and a leech. You mileage may vary because you have a personal interest. I am an impartial observer

[wildbill]

Yo quiero White House souveniers berry berry much.

[conejo99]

Uh the irony.

[potlatch]

Lol, twenty lashes with a wild grape-vine!!

Besides, he won’t get the stains out of his pocket, lol.

[MeekOneGOP]

heheheee! :^D

[dennisw]

If you have a brief for Mexico-—post it.
I notice none of your immediate family lives there

[conejo99]

I know a fair amount about Mexico, some of it good, some of it bad. Mexico is a poorly run country. I compare it to what I image a corrupt big city government here would be if it were not restrained by outside forces and by the ability of productive resources to flee the city limits.

Mexican popular culture is taking on many American aspects, both good and bad. They have their version's of our tawdry musician's and our inner city gangs (both have gotten noticeably worse in the last 10 years). On the other hand they also have their version of our Hoover Institute academics.
I remember as a child hearing how all trends (both good and bad) start in California. Mexicans see something analogous.
Illegal immigration could be easily stopped by our government by denying illegal immigrants the ability to work. It is our fault that we allow this to continue.
Stopping it now will be very disruptive and stopping it 10 years from now will be more disruptive. I don't believe we have the political will to bear the current disruption.
I will not comment further on your remarks or why I find them ironic. As political allies we should probably just accept each other with our particular faults.

He wanted to make a blackberry cobbler.....
