Would-be reality TV stars crash Obama party

A couple of aspiring reality-TV stars from Northern Virginia appear to have crashed the White House’s state dinner Tuesday night, penetrating layers of security with no invitation to mingle with the likes of Vice President Biden and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Tareq and Michaele Salahi — polo-playing socialites known for a bitter family feud over a Fauquier County winery and their possible roles in the forthcoming “The Real Housewives of Washington” — were seen arriving at the White House and later posted on Facebook photos of themselves with VIPs at the elite gathering.

“Honored to be at the White House for the state dinner in honor of India with President Obama and our First Lady!” one of them wrote on their joint Facebook page at 9:08 p.m.

Real nice..."penetrating layers of security", those layers couldn't have been too deep for a couple of nimrods to get in.

Sure seems like this is a bit more serious than someone holding up a sign at a town hall meeting. Spin away...

That's what she said...

WASHINGTON (AP) - A White House official says the Virginia couple who attended a state dinner without an invitation met President Barack Obama in the receiving line.
Michaele and Tareq Salahi were admitted into Tuesday's dinner for India's visiting prime minister although they were not on the official guest list of more than 300 people. It had been unclear how close they may have gotten to Obama.

A White House official said Friday that the couple met Obama in the receiving line.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of an ongoing Secret Service investigation into how the couple slipped through its usually tight security.
