The Salahis Follies: Coming Soon to Vegas!
By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics DailySomeone help me out here. True or false: If you have the reputation of being the couple whose major claim to fame is gate-crashing the White House, wouldn't you want to sit down and be quiet? Wouldn't you limit your social exposure until your infamy faded away? Wouldn't the last thing you would want to do is to show up on anybody's red carpet? You wouldn't. Not if you're Tareq and Michaele Salahi. The infamous social climbers of the Beltway have accepted an invitation to be the official party hosts on Jan. 16 at the Pure Nightclub in Las Vegas.

Dozens of paparazzi jostled in a hallway of the Cannon House Office Building to await their arrival. Alex Ogle, AFP / Getty ...
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 ...
