McCain Campaign Sells Blackberries Filled With Confidential Files

[Joanne98]

Oops! Somebody forgot to uh.. do a complete reset. Oh, no big deal, just some private phone numbers, names & emails of campaign contributors of a failed presidential run. LOL! –Ms. Information …

Fire Sale on All McCain-Palin Campaign Equipment - Run, don’t walk, to John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va., for an amazing Blowout Sale! Computers, blackberries, televisions, desks, you name it - everything must go. Hurry while the offer lasts!

That’s right, the failed McCain-Palin campaign is having a fire sale this week on leftover equipment. Everything is on sale at reduced prices. An email sent over the weekend to all campaign staff, which was subsequently forwarded to the Sleuth, reads:

“Starting Monday December 8, 2008 the prices will be slashed to 36% of the original price for furniture, office supplies, blackberries, and many campaign computers. This is a great opportunity to own a piece of history, finish your Christmas shopping, or simply replace your old laptop.”

Don’t have any cash on you? No worries. An attached price sheet says, “We accept cash, checks, and credit cards.”
Among the hot deals listed for sale on the price sheet:

- A Dell Latitude D620 laptop for $417.00.

- A Dell Latitude D820 laptop for $570.00.

- Brother multifunction printer for $189.00.

- RIM Blackberry 8700c for $30.00.

- Folding chairs for $3.60 each.

- A 55-cup steel coffee urn for $77.00.

- A power strip for $1.

- Ethernet cables for $1 a pound.

A Fox reporter documented the find:

When I found out from Wonkette that the McCain-Palin campaign was holding a firesale of campaign sundries — including teevees and laptops — not far from my neighborhood, I briefly thought about driving over to see what deals there were to be had. My wife talked me out of it, telling me that what she wanted for Christmas was a gift “not drenched in the stink of terrible failure.” As it turns out, I should have gone, because the campaign was selling twenty-dollar Blackberries choked with campaign emails and addresses of GOP bigwigs!

There were only 10 left. All of the batteries had died. There were no chargers for sale. But people were snatching them up. So, we bought a couple.

And ended up with a lot more than we bargained for.

When we charged them up in the newsroom, we found one of the $20 Blackberry phones contained more than 50 phone numbers for people connected with the McCain-Palin campaign, as well as hundreds of emails from early September until a few days after election night.
