Barbara Juniorbush robbed in Argentina!
« on: November 22, 2006, 03:25:39 PM »
I spent nearly two weeks in San Telmo and felt pretty safe.
Perhaps the Secret Service guards with her were former Intel people who advised about WMD's.
There seems to be a bit of a contradiction here. Either it was Barbara or Jenna. The Argentine newspaper was unable to say which one was robbed, but this story says it was Barbara.

I wonder if they have dialed her number to see who answered.

"You're under arrest!" they could say. Or perhaps they could trace the phone to the thieves.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - U.S. and Argentine media reported that one of President Bush’s 24-year-old twin daughters had her purse stolen while being guarded by the Secret Service during a visit here.

ABC News, citing unidentified law enforcement reports, reported on its Web site Tuesday that Barbara Bush’s purse and cell phone were taken while she was dining in a Buenos Aires restaurant.

La Nacion newspaper, citing anonymous government sources, said in its online edition early Wednesday that one of Bush’s daughters had her purse taken Sunday afternoon in the popular tourist district of San Telmo.

A pair of thieves removed the purse from under a table while Secret Service agents stood guard at a distance, La Nacion reported. La Nacion said its sources did not reveal which of the Bush daughters had her purse stolen.

Argentine police told The Associated Press they had no complaint of any such incident on file, and the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires said it would have no comment. In Washington, the White House, Secret Service and State Department also declined comment.

CNN cited a law-enforcement source who was briefed on the incident as saying that “at no point were the protectees out of visual contact and at no point was there any risk of harm.”

Argentina’s largest-circulation daily, Clarin, ran an online report citing the government news agency Telam as saying that Barbara Bush had her purse taken along with a cell phone that was inside it. Telam cited an official source who did not wish to be identified by name and who provided no other details.

Barbara’s twin, Jenna, visited neighboring Paraguay last month to take part in a UNICEF program for young professionals.

I bet that there was very little cash in it.

I got this in my email, and no URLs were in it.

Bush daughter robbed in South America.
[news story excerpt:]
Three police motorcycle officers were injured when they crashed on slick pavement while escorting his motorcade on Tuesday. Two were taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where one was described as in serious condition and another was described as stable.
Members of the White House medical team — including an ambulance — were cut loose from the motorcade to help, said Dr. Richard Tubb, Bush’s doctor. Local ambulance and fire units were sent, too.
Also, acting White House Travel Office Director Gregg Pitts was beaten and robbed by at least two men while out in Honolulu Monday night. Pitts suffered head and other injuries in the attack. He was awake and alert but remained behind at a Honolulu hospital because of a possible concussion, White House spokesman Tony Fratto said.
