Michaele Salahi a/k/a Michelle Holt is originally from northeast PA. Back in the '80's, she was a greeter for a local car dealer.

By WILL THOMAS/myfoxdc

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Less than a week after their appearance at the White House State Dinner, Michaele and Tareq Salahi have some more explaining to do. Representatives from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation say the couple also attended their recent awards dinner without an invitation, and multiple sources say they sneaked into the event through an entrance meant for bus boys and caterers.

Last Tuesday, the Salahis strolled into President Barack Obama's first State Dinner. They said hello along the official receiving line, but the White House says they weren't invited. They say security was breached, and an investigation was ordered.

But there are more images posted on Michaele Salahi's facebook fan page , including photo opportunities at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's Awards Dinner four weeks prior to the State Dinner. Photos show the couple among the likes of Senator Roland Burris and his wife, Patrick Kennedy, and Star Jones. President and Mrs. Obama were also in attendance.

Give it a couple more days.

That's when we'll finally find out that they were sorta-invited by some White House appointee, and were let in "unofficially" when they showed up.

stop giving the attention whores attention.

*deep breath*

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh you poor, poor things. Heaven forbid you should have to, you know, suffer the consequences of your actions. I mean, we should totally just let you get by on this one, because you clearly had no ill intentions or personal gain for pulling this stunt. Oh, by the by, how's that bid for a reality tv show doing?

/personal responsibility ftw

Maybe it's because I'm reading the article before I've had my coffee but does this sentence make any fraking sense to anyone?
"The White House gate caper captivated a capital frequently as well known for its high-end social life and celebrity eruptions as the occasionally mundane day-to-day business of governance."

They must have pulled the ole forgot the travel/multi/omni pass in the purse routine. The question I have is why is the secret service hiring movie extras to do screening on white house visitors?

You shouldn't. Everyone I know whose ever had any dealings with them call them lying manipulative, dishonest SOBs. People who had their wedding at his winery (before his mother sued him to take it back) say they were promised the moon when they booked with them; but the Salahi's never delivered and/or gouged them at the last minute to deliver what they promised.

On the Washington Post's chats about this, all sorts of former co-workers of hers (back when she her name was simply Michele) are coming forward to say how incredibly NOT suprised that she'd try to pull a stunt like this.

And the only people crashing the "Congressional White Caucus dinner" would be cops to arrest them all for hate crimes.

It's only racist when whitey does it, but the Blacks are allowed to get away with anything as "payback" in 0bama's world.

But their better than everybody else because they have ultra-white teeth and flawless skin right?

The little people on TV never get in trouble with the secret service and everything is alright in 30 minutes...

When is your next party, and where?

waiting for frowning upon shenanigans.

tired of waiting:

However much they're AW idiots, I don't understand why they're the object of such anger & ridicule--I say good for them for getting into an event that was supposed to be secure. This is a black eye & learning experience for Secret Service, nothing else.

I would vote for Obama in 2012 if he threw these two in Gitmo even as others are moved out.

Example?

Can we just agree that if you're doing anything and it slips out that you're trying to get on/pitch a reality show, you're automatically put on the reality show "Let's Shoot the Attenion Whores with Uzis" ?

Yes, please. I would gladly pay for this show.

cirby: Give it a couple more days.

Trust me, no mid-level staffer in the White House has even vaguely enough authority to "sorta" invite someone to a State Dinner and no one "unofficially" lets any one into the White House without making a MAJOR error.

State Dinner invitations are the most coveted tickets in town (which is why it was considered Such a major dick move for Boehner to decline his- especially after complaining publicly that Obama hadn't met with him in 3 months); the final guest list decisions are made at the White House Chief of Staff level.

The reason these two were busted is largely because the Washington Post gossip columnist, who was covering the event, recognized them from stories she'd run on the winery feud, and knew instantly that they weren't the sort of people who get State Dinner invitations. So she immediately got a copy of the guest list and saw that their names weren't on it. She says she questioned more than one WH staffer about their presence, but apparently no action was taken to verify their right to be there.

Good for them for going out and having fun. It's a better life than sitting at home on your computer complaining about spelling errors in headlines on FARK.

This is Fark. Generally, people here are at least somewhat educated. I guess what I'm saying is that there are entire sites on teh interwebz for inbred conspiracy theorists; don't taint Fark with your ignorance...we can can do that by ourselves.

As a full half hour or hour spot would either a) be way too much BS filler or b) deplete our supply of attention whore douche bags far too quickly, could we perhaps have a "Let's Shoot the Attenion Whores with Uzis" video podcast that say did one a day? Like my morning coffee, it would be a great way to wake up.

Why is it such a security risk that people showed up without an invite? They were checked for weapons and such at the door I'm sure. So they didn't really represent any danger. I do not understand this story. And it has lasted for a really long time (this news cycle is slow...I've been hearing about this stupid speech tonight for like 1.5 weeks).

I don't know. Shooting them in the kneecaps and other creative areas could be dragged out for a while.

Oh, the wilkes-barrity...

This frowning negro shennanigans picture amuses me.

I've always wanted to see it with WFT? and an arrow to a circle around the white guy in the back row though.

I'm thinking these two are going to be shown some of the fine print in the Patriot Act shortly.

So that would make them the equivalent of every professional politician, no? They may be douches, but they're douches that are causing some embarrassment for our current crop of politicians. In my book, that gets them a gold star. Doesn't mean I'd let them in my house (apparently I do a better job of screening than the WH), have tea with them, etc.

Let's see them go on vacay with Obama.

I was going to write, "Yeah the rich, bored white ladies love the BBC - Big Black Caucus."

But it's been done by now, I guess, that whole idea with the HOT*HOT*HOT*Interracial*Love® innuendo. Of course, by discussing this manner in the way I have, I get to say it anyway and be in the deviant-kids' club.

Senator Roland Burris and his wife, Patrick Kennedy, and Star Jones.

And the question was *puts up envelope to head* who are the three people you'll like to caucus-punch the most?

. . . and we were all like we were invited, and they were all like come on in, and then they were all like meet Obama, ohmigawd!, and then they were all like you were so not invited, and we were all like yes we were that girl at the pentagon said we were, and she was all like no I didn't, and we were all like, yes we were totally invited, and they were all like no you weren't, and then like everyone like totally got on our case, and we were like that's so totally f'd up 'cause we were like so totally invited by the lawyer dudes who talked to that pentagon girl, and now we are like so totally bummed and . . . .

Huckabee got them tickets to go to the party.

You want to put time, thought, dedication and above all ATTENTION into the killing of the attention whores? Way to play right into what they want.

The real reason Obama's mad is that they got in without paying bribe moneycampaign contributions first.
