Gate Crashers



I am going back and forth trying to decide if I should cheer on Tareq and Michaele Salhi. On the one hand, I am extremely impressed that they were able to sneak into the White House state dinner. One the other, what a boring party to crash? Rubbing shoulders with the VP and chief of staff is not worth the legal costs or time in court. PLUS!!! The party was not even in the white house. The dinner was located outside in a tent on the south lawn!!!

And the dinner.... potato and eggplant salad, red lentil soup, roasted potato dumplings with tomato chutney, and green curry prawns with coconut aged basmati rice? The dessert did sound more filling.... pumpkin pie tart, pear tatin, and an assortment of brittle, petit fours and pralines. Before taking the time to crash, I would need to know what kind of coffee? Was there real half and half for the coffee? I like to eat fabulous desserts with a great cup o joe!

How did they crash? OH COME ON!!! SHE IS BLOND AND FREAKING STACKED!!! Any red blooded man would have let her into the party!!

I can not put this prank into the same league with the wacko balloon boy parents. I felt horrible for the their kids. The poor little "balloon" boy was distraught by the probing questions trying to keep his parents lies. Moreover, the incident involved plenty of worried rescuers from police to the military to keep an eye on the balloon. No one was harmed in any way by their gate crashing except the pride of the White House Security Staff.

If this was Austin Kutcher (MTV punked) would he be in trouble for party crashing?

So much for security!

We saw this in England. We were all fascinated as to how they did it. She looks the part though doesnt she?

All right for some!

I'm planning on crashing the next state dinner. If I don't have anything better to do that day. Now, where did I put the peroxide and the sparkly heels?

Granny Annie said...

Oh, will they really have to do jail time? Your spin on her getting past security because of appearance is exactly right. Boobs -- the key to unlock any lock!

15 minutes of fame is not to be ignored... Boy, somebody took the wind out of your sails.. Kinda miss the gal who used to let'er rip..

Anne said...

I hear she's being considered for The Real Housewives of DC. Listen, Michaele, I am a real housewife, I don't play one on TV. Somehow I don't think I'd be crashing a lot of parties, though. sheesh.

Anne said...

Oh, I also heard on local news, they were still subject to all the security searches when they arrived, they just talked their way past the guest-list check.

Mike said...

I would let her crash my party!! :))

I'd forgive Ashton! :D

While it was incredibly ballsy to crash the party, this couple has managed to let us all know what a joke national security is.

They shouldn't go to jail, they should get a medal.

Jaime said...

i can't believe they were able to get into that party. blond hair and boobs only get you so far. (and let's be honest, her chest isn't THAT impressive...)

hope you guys had a great thanksgiving.

Rubbing shoulders with the VP? Snore . . .

What some people will do for their 15 seconds of fame... ;)

Unknown said...

Ashton Kutcher can crash my party anytime!

I wish I had the nerve to pull off something like that. If I even attempt to do something least bit dishonest, it's like there's a flashing neon light on my forehead. I can't hide it.

So what do you think? 1/2 and 1/2 or some decadent flavored creamer?

Exactly what coffee, and how it was served, and was it Fair Trace, and so on, are definitely important questions, you've got that spot on.
