LoneStarTimes [1] 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 [2] and advocating property rights [3], was on Fox 26 News again.

Here’s the video [4], 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.
