Much like Parents of the Year Mayumi and Richard Heene, fellow oddly-named scumbags Michaele and Tareq Salahi know the quickest way to strike it rich in America involves doing something tacky and quasi-illegal, and then getting the elitist media to cover it endlessly, and turn a handsome profit in no time at all!
It's the American way!
Why else would that nice couple from the upcoming reality TV show "The Real Housewives of Washington DC" sneak their way into the White House and crash President Obama's first state dinner if they didn't care that much about America?
It's not like gatecrashers Michaele and Tareq are bankrupt, fame-obsessed celebrity-wannabees with a long, bizarre history of crashing A-list soirees, who owe money all over town but have no way of coming up with the cash unless...
Wait. You don't think this fab duo figured they might be able to use their gatecrashing skill (hot blonde+rich "ethnic" dude) and almost celebrity status to oh, I don't know, let's say, break into a presidential banquet, Facebook the sh*t out of their latest crazy accomplishment, and then sell their wacky White House adventure to the highest bidder for a handsome six-figure sum, do you??
And to think, I just figured they were happy, well-adjusted individuals with deeply fulfilling lives who in a sudden surge of patriotic love and pride decided they simply had to get a handshake from that man everyone was always buzzing about, Barack something or other.
Comments
Julie,
I beg to differ.
I'm no fan of the media either, but with so few details being release about the actual "security breach", how can anyone exclude the possibility that someone on the White House staff bypassed the Secret Service and invited Michaele and Tareq Salahi to the event?
You don't just waltz through a multi layered Secret Service security operation by accident. I don't care how they looked, who they knew, or how much money they have or didn't have . The longer this gets dragged out, the less I believe the Secret Service is at fault.
After all they didn't look terribly out of place smoozing and smiling with Rahm Emanuel, Joe Biden, and Obama.
I think the fact that they looked like they belonged helped them "dupe" secret service agents into believing they were invited. The woman being an attractive blonde probably didn't hurt either.
Julie- "I think the fact that they looked like they belonged helped them "dupe" secret service agents into believing they were invited."
If that is the case Obama better take out traveler's insurance the next time he flies Air Force One.
Something just doesn't add up about this story Julie. It's too simple. Too many holes and too many unanswered questions.
I'm not holding my breath waiting for a straight answer from the White House. I'll just have to wait for the reality show to find out.
OK OK, you got me. I put Sasha and Malia up to it. It was dey dat let em in...
Please ignore this kind of CRAP!
