It's pretty much common sense that when you're ditching your old cell phone you want to
erase your personal data, contacts and emails -- or at least try to. Oh sure, there are plenty of examples of
failing to do so, but this one's rather... shall we say, "special." Some operatives at Fox 5 in Washington, D.C. booked over to the McCain-Palin campaign headquarters' yard sale yesterday, and they saw some ultra cheap Blackberrys -- just $20 a pop, probably an
inventor's discount -- so they picked up a few, undoubtedly thinking they'd make nice holiday gifts. They were kind of surprised to find that, after giving the 'Berrys some juice, one of them had 50 contacts for "campaign leaders, politicians, lobbyists and journalists" as well as hundreds of emails. When reached for comment, a campaign spokesperson said that "procedures are being put in place to ensure all information is secure," followed minutes later by a blank email CC'd to his entire address book with the subject line "We're so screwed."

ha! i need reading comprehension? i refuted one of your points. and then you go off on some insulting tirade about how i didn't understand your point about media bias against palin, but the truth is i just don't care about your main point. you come off as a confrontational condescending wanker, so in the end no one reaaaallly cares what you say. congrats.
Palin sure is stupid. Lile when she said, "When the stock market crashed Franklin Roosevelt got on television..."
Oh. wait...
"Palin sure is stupid. Lile when she said, "When the stock market crashed Franklin Roosevelt got on television...""
uh... that was biden...
...
(for the record)
ay caramba... you sure didnt get his sarcasm and with his 'oh wait' i thought it was obvious. you sure failed this time.
This is the best "hijacked cell phone" related story ever. Way better than that staged Paris Hilton B.S.
A washed up politician's addresbook? Really? That you find so interesting? Good for a few jokes the next day and that's it IMHO.
dude, if the contacts are still on those phones, there's a solid chance that all the data is too. There could be a heap of embarrassing/hilarious/disasterous information that could go public I find that awesome, even if we never get to hear about it.
Screw the top secret emails and full address book, I want the Crackberry with Palin's naughty MMS....
Why? Seriously, of all the women in the world you want her SMS's? Now after she's a nobody again too, makes no sense to me but to each his own I guess.
Messages or it didn't happen.
Can you say lawsuit? Doesn't matter if they sold the devices or not. If they try and pub the information found on them....hehe. Lawsuit city.
wow the amount of leftists in this blog is unbelievable. most of them probably can't even grasp and imagine the concept that it is the Republican Party that promotes technological advancement in the United States.
- Keeping health care privatized is what create innovation and better medicine because it is profitable to do so. Why would anyone want to invent the cure for cancer or anything if it's not gonna make them rich?
- Pentagon Budget is the no.1 hallmark of USA, hence most of the innovative technology trickles down to the civilian world.
- Unionization is just pure cancer, auto industry prooves it. I love American cars, but out of spite for unions I will go German
But seriously, I am truly glad John McCain lost, because he is even a bigger socialist than Bush's 2nd term. If John McCain won, it would be a sad day for the Republican party. I would be sad though if Palin lost the Presidency.
Yah Republicans promote tech. I guess that is what the infrastructure implemented by Gore in the white house was virtually unused by Shrub and his staff. I guess that is why McCain and the Repub party so completely utilized mobile phones to communicate with their supporters. I guess that is why the Repubs were the first to hit up youtube with addresses. Oh wait. No they weren't.
You revisionist historians are always so amusing. Next you will tell us that Bush's reason for going into Iraq was to free the people and not WMD's. You can make up all the shit you want, but history will see through it.
LMAO... WHAT A PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT THOSE TWO WOULD HAVE MADE!!!
I try not to think about it. No really. A 24 year old single malt scotch helped after the polls closed that evening.
Where is Joe the techie when you need him?
Republicans republicans never learn. You betcha.
Blackberries for $20...I want to find a yard sale like that! No matter what is left on them.
I bet most of the messages are to and from Satan...
Probably since Jesus and God wouldn't return her e-mails or calls. I mean really. Do you think God would be caught paling around with Palin....ewwww.
