President Bush’s daughter Barbara had her purse and cell phone stolen Sunday, the first night of a two-week trip to Argentina. The story was made public Tuesday. La Nacion, an Argentina newspaper reported that two thieves approached the first-born Bush daughter and snatched her purse from under a table. Barbara, not to be confused with the President’s mother, was dining at a restaurant in the artsy Buenos Aires region of San Telmo. As any president’s daughter, Babs had her two secret service agents with her during the purse-snatching, however according to La Nacion, the agents stood at a distance and did not catch the heist. Barbara’s cell phone was inside of her purse and there is no word as to whether she has yet sent one of those mass emails saying “Hey guys, I’m such an idiot, I lost my phone, send me your numbers.” I have two thoughts regarding this incident. The first is how inept these secret service agents are. If two thieves were able to get so close to the president’s daughter to steal her purse, surely they were close enough to stab her, bitch-slap her or even grab her titty. Moreover, ABC news reported that during the same trip, one of Barbara’s bodyguards got beaten like a bitch outside a Buenos Aires nightclub. Who are these clowns? Lastly, if I were a Bush kid, I would not travel outside of Texas. You’re just asking for trouble.
