I can not believe these people got away with this! Uninvited people basically snuck in to the state dinner last night. Unbelievable. And then they boasted about it on facebook.

Evidently It also happened under the Bush administration. Apperently during a diiner a landscaping contractor was doing work on the gounds and one of his employees who was also here illegally managed to breach security and even got his picture taken with D. Chenny0

That's the thing. Its very scary, no matter what administration it is. I was watching CNN last night and they said that if the people had lied in to anyone working there to get in, it is a felony to lie to a government official. They could be in deep trouble (as they should be IMO). But the secret service has some explaining to do. I bet its hard with a party like this, because officials have to walk a fine line between maintaining security and not offending the guests who may be diplomats from other countries.R.i.p.

Yeah, as of recently I have read that they want to do some kind of reality show. You know, this and the bubble boy story makes me realize these people are just Jerry Springer guests who think they can make money.yahamita wrote:I heard this is the couple that will be on Washington DC Housewives..media whores already...Save room for dessert!0 -
i think it is hilarious how people think it is a good idea to pull off these publicity stunts to promote their as-yet-to-be-obtained reality shows. i hope they ALL go to jail and i hope they all learn a lesson from this.
but then again, americans will watch anything on tv, so its no wonder where the motivation of these people comes from."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

I heard the same thing, that they pulled this off as a beginning to their supposed lives on reality TV.Heatherj43 wrote:

I do relate this couple to the balloon boy people, but the ironic thing is...the media is giving them exactly what they want: publicity. Bad publicity is still publicity, and that leads to (somewhat) fame. The best thing the media could do is to completely ignore these nuts.0 -

to illustrate my point i was just flipping around and landed on fox...they were talking about tiger woods going to the hospital after having a car accident in front of his house at 2:30 in the morning....they said there was no comment on where he was going at 2:30 in the morning, who the hell cares!? they also reported his airbags didn't deploy so he had to be going under 35mph and no idea if he was wearing his seat belt or not....this is the fucking news???
i also see tucker carlson is having a series or special about the text books are kids are using in schooldon't compete; coexist

i was reluctant to reply here, because i really don't like giving 'plastic fantastic people' like this, any more attention than they have already recieved.
the sad truth is, reality tv pretty much mirrors what our society has become.0 -

"Reality Stars": Sign Us Up Before We Kill Again
This should be the year that made clear the distinction between the publicity-hungry, irremediably ego-needy actual denizens of show business (like myself) and the way more grotesquely hungry and ego-needy residents of the show-business underworld known charitably as "reality TV." If the Heenes weren't warning enough, here came the Salahis -- both families obviously just this close to the line of offering to kill family members if only it would get them on a TV series.
It was obvious something was adrift, or ajar, when the phrase "reality-TV star" began to be written and uttered with no trace of irony, even as more and more of these folks became involved this year in various serious crimes. And it will probably be no later than Monday before some defender of the Salahis analogizes them to computer hackers, suggesting that they performed a public service by probing for, and finding, holes in the Secret Service's security perimeter. Indeed they did, and their reward should be a two-season stint on a new reality show, The Real Housewives (and Househusbands) of Federal Prison.
And for the remaining rubes not aware that the "reality" of reality TV is to actual real life as "potted meat food product" is to grass-pastured beef, here's one of the wizards drawing back the curtain for just a moment ...
(Michael Hirschorn, a former executive vice president for original programming at the reality-centric VH1 channel) said prospective reality stars were becoming smarter about “self-producing,” knowing they had to inject drama into the shows.
“At this point,” he said, “there must be what, a thousand reality personalities on TV at any one time? So they know they have to stand out.”
Could they stand out in a South Dakota prairie in late January? You know, just for our entertainment ...

these fucking douchebags are really starting to piss me off...now they are the victims??? FUCK OFF!!
Tareq and Michaele Salahi, the couple accused of crashing President Obama's first state dinner at the White House, appeared on the Today Show this morning and denied any wrongdoing. Mr. Salahi insisted that he and his wife did not crash the party but were in fact invited, telling host Matt Lauer "This has been the most devastating thing that has ever happened to us."
The couple said they are cooperating with the Secret Service and they are confident that "the truth will soon come out." But on MSNBC, Press Secretary Gibbs insisted the couple had not been invited and that this wasn't a misunderstanding. The AP reports:
"This wasn't a misunderstanding," the spokesman said. "You don't show up at the White House as a misunderstanding."
Said Salahi: "We're greatly saddened by all the circumstances ... portraying my wife and I as party crashers. I can tell you we did not party-crash the White House."
