Something about this story makes me very happy.
A couple of aspiring reality-TV stars from Northern Virginia appear to have crashed the White House’s state dinner Tuesday night, penetrating layers of security with no invitation to mingle with the likes of Vice President Biden and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
Tareq and Michaele Salahi — polo-playing socialites known for a bitter family feud over a Fauquier County winery and their possible roles in the forthcoming “The Real Housewives of Washington” — were seen arriving at the White House and later posted on Facebook photos of themselves with VIPs at the elite gathering.
“Honored to be at the White House for the state dinner in honor of India with President Obama and our First Lady!” one of them wrote on their joint Facebook page at 9:08 p.m.
I like to think of it as an example of the Founding Fathers’ desire for a government accessible to the people. Plus I love how they don’t know how to spell Rahm Emanuel’s first name.
We discussed this over drinks last night and concluded it’s not a big deal because the closest they apparently got to a VIP was Joe Biden.
Comments
OK, so now the photos come out showing them meeting Obama. I hold MaxFortitude personally responsible.

his name is tareq? he's clearly a terrorist.
the secret service should have denied him entrance simply based on the fact that he was wearing a double-breasted suit.
the daily news had this awesome map of the salahis' movement through the white house. apparently they walked down a hall and up some stairs.
