LoneStarTimes brings us an update on the Cuban flag/Che Guevara controversy at the Obama volunteer office in Houston:

"Maria Isabel, who volunteers for Barack Obama when she’s not lionizing communist murderers and advocating property rights, was on Fox 26 News again.

Here’s the video, and here’s my rough transcript:"

Reporter: “What is your connection to Cuba?”

Isabel: “I am Cuban. I was born there…Cuban-American”

Reporter: “Do you see a problem with –”

Isabel: “I don’t want to talk about the — I am so busy, really — you want to talk about the Cuban flag? (nervous laughter) I am really busy. I have an appointment in about half an hour. I gotta talk to these people right here — my posse.”

Reporter: Do you realize there are over 2,000 blogs angry at you right now?

Isabel: I don’t have time to talk about that right now, and I don’t pay any attention to that. You need to call my publicist…there’s someone in charge at camp that can talk to you about that. Gotta go!

Reporter: Do you want to apologize?

Isabel: Apologize for what?

Reporter: Do you think it was poor judgment?

Isabel: I think this is a waste of my time.
