Party Crashers
Tareq and Michaele Salahi, White House Party Crashers, Want Apology, Launch PR Blitz
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyBrace yourself, America. Tareq and Michaele Salahi -- brazen White House gate-crashers in the eyes of many, and the world's most misunderstood and maligned presidential invitees in their own minds -- have kicked off a nationwide ubiquity tour, presumably to gin up interest in their newest vehicle to fame if not fortune, Bravo's "The Real Housewives of DC." Oh, and let's not forget the action figures, 500-page book and Halloween costumes also in the publicity pipeline. With another state dinner on tap Wednesday, the timing must have seemed propitious.

Should the Salahis Be Punished?
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Dec. 2) - Some people are so upset about Michaele and Tareq Salahi crashing the White House State Dinner that they want the publicity-hungry socialites prosecuted. While there's new evidence that they weren't invited, it's not clear whether they did anything illegal. The Salahis were not on the guest list for last week's party, according to the White House and Secret Service. And although they've said they believed they were invited, newly released e-mails undercut the couple's claim. News that they were escorted out of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's awards dinner a month ago ...
