Barbara Bush robbed in Argentina

[Ninot]

My American Politics prof brought this up in class today. He was dismayed that such an old lady would get mugged in Argentina.

He thought we were pulling his leg when we insisted that the twin was named Barbara too.

I wonder if this will be like when Paris Hilton had her cell phone stolen. Sorry to make light of this, but it is so natural to do so, with someone who is so privileged.

She's got insurance on it, and Daddy's moneyed.

I fail to see how this is a real problem to either of them?

dictionary.com:

[Origin: 1595–1605; < F détail, OF, n. deriv. of detailler to cut in pieces, equiv. to de- dis-1 + tailler to cut < VL *taliāre; see tailor]

1603, from Fr. détail, from O.Fr. detail "small piece or quantity," from detaillier "cut in pieces," from de- "entirely" + taillier "to cut in pieces." Modern sense is from Fr. en détail "piece by piece, item by item" (as opposed to en gros), a commercial term used where we would today use retail. Military sense is 1708, from notion of "distribution in detail of the daily orders first given in general," including assignment of specific duties. The verb is from 1637.

detail is also car slang - get a detail together and detail the captains car

Well, they're both potential targets for assassination, or kidnapping. If the SS dropped the ball on such matter...

At least I'm glad it wasn't First Lady #41. I like her better than her granddaughters. Plus I can tell her apart!

If it was her, the mugger wouldn't have gotten away with it. He would have been beat down... by Barbara.

The thieves were not argenchileans,

2 were peruvians and 1 brazilian

they were cought immediately by the police

"Efectivos de la Prefectura detuvieron en Puerto Madero a cuatro delincuentes que momentos antes le habÃan robado un bolso a un turista francés que almorzaba en un restorán.

Según dio a conocer la fuerza, todo empezó cuando personal que patrullaba la zona observó a cuatro desconocidos "en actitud sospechosa" que ingresaron a un local de la zona.

Los efectivos siguieron a los sujetos, que tras ocupar una mesa en el negocio le hurtaron el bolso a un turista a un turista francés que comÃa en el lugar.

Los delincuentes fueron capturados de inmediato. Según informó Prefectura, tres de los detenidos (dos hombres y una mujer) son de nacionalidad peruana, mientras que también fue apresada una mujer de origen brasileño.
