White House party crashers fit a new mold: Fame at all costs | csmonitor.com
Tareq Salahi, a polo-playing winemaker, and his wife, Michaele Salahi — the White House crashers who sashayed into the most closely guarded party in the world — fall into an emerging mold: Those who’ll risk jail time for a fleeting shot at fame.
You've heard about them by now. You've seen the blonde in the red dress strolling by a group of photographers with her husband into the White House state dinner that hosted the Prime Minister of India.
As we all know now, they had no business being at the dinner because they weren't on the guest list. The reason they were there is because the wife is pushing to get on Bravo's "The Real Housewives of DC."
The reaction outside the White House, on TV talk shows at least seems to be a pathetic pretense of concern while stifling chuckles about those wild and wacky reality show contestants.
Forgive me for being a spoilsport but I don't find any of this funny.
I hope these two are hung up by their fingernails. Throw the federal book at them and use every law possible to make them an example.
Why you say? Well let's see:
- They could have meant to do the president, first lady or the prime minister of India harm.
- They made the president's security look foolish in the face of a visiting international leader.
- They used the White House, one of the great symbols of American leadership as a set for their crappy audition for "The Real Housewives of Hell."
The only people who should be slapped around more than this lame-ass couple are the Secret Service agents who let them get in. Who the hell was asleep at that switch!?
This is getting beyond pathetic, people. Knock it the hell off!
