The 'Real' Michaele and Tareq Salahi? New Book Will Tell Alleged Crashers' Tale
By Annie Groer - Politics DailySo . . .Nearly 10 months after Tareq and Michaele Salahi burst onto the global stage by allegedly crashing President Barack Obama's first state dinner, investigative reporter Diane Dimond has whipped out "Cirque Du Salahi: Be Careful Who You Trust." Starting Wednesday, you can wallow in all things Salahi via a $15.99 paperback. Or you can just watch a promo video, complete with ominous music and popping flashbulbs and Salahi photos, which promises "the truth about this most compelling couple. Are they squeaky clean?

Salahis Fail to Show at Hearing
By Andrea Stone - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (Dec. 3) -- This time, Tareq and Michaele Salahi really had an invitation. The White House gatecrashers had been summoned to appear before the House Homeland Security Committee to explain how they got past the U.S. Secret Service last week at a state dinner for the Indian prime minister.
