Couple slips though security to crash state dinner


WASHINGTON – Crashing a state dinner at the White House apparently takes a security breakdown as well as some kind of nerve.
The Secret Service is looking into its own security procedures after determining that a Virginia couple, Michaele and Tareq Salahi, managed to slip into Tuesday night's state dinner at the White House even though they were not on the guest list, agency spokesman Ed Donovan said.
President Barack Obama was never in any danger because the party crashers went through the same security screening for weapons as the 300-plus people actually invited to the dinner honoring Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Donovan said.
Donovan confirmed the identities of the couple. The Washington Post, which first reported on their evening out, said the Salahis were well-known in the Virginia horse-country set and were being considered for the Bravo reality TV show "Real Housewives of D.C."
In an interview with the "CBS Early Show" in September, Michaele Salahi said, "President Obama has made it very accessible for anyone to visit the White House, so that's like a big thing right now."

Since they conned the job anyway, I initially thought the headline was a spoof on Osama and Mitchell.

If that is any indication of where security is going in this country....we should all be very nervous.

My money is on the administration shot callers hamstringing the Service guys in order not to give the hollywood types a hard time.

one of the most secure places in the world...

Apparently not...... i wonder if they were terrorists and succeeded in whacking the frauds, if the former Osama administration would hold THAT trial in DC?
