White House party crashers plan tell all interview

By now you’ve probably heard about Michaele and Tareq Salahi. The now infamous couple crashed the White House State Dinner last week, embarrassing the White House and the Secret Service. How’d everyone find out about it? Michaele, who claims to be a former supermodel (along with a former Washington Redskins cheerleader – though the Redskins and several of the companies she says she’s modeled for all say Michaele has never worked for them) posted pictures all over her Facebook page. Though I should note that her page isn’t a traditional Facebook profile like most of us – with regular egos – have. It’s a fan page. That she put up at least five months ago (the oldest picture date I can find was uploaded in July), well before anyone had ever heard of her. Narcissism doesn’t even begin to describe what this chick has going on.
Supposedly Michaele wants onto the “Real Housewives of DC” – and even brought along a film crew. She’s definitely ravenous for whatever fame she can get – she and Tareq are shopping around their tell-all interview like no one’s business.
The White House gate-crashing couple is looking to cash-in on their exploits by selling the first exclusive interview for a six-figure sum. Tareq and Michaele Salahi – who got up close and personal with President Barack Obama – have pulled out of a planned interview with CNN because they want to land a big pay check for their tell-all.
Representatives for the couple have approached network chiefs asking for hundreds of thousands of dollars for the low-down on how the pair foiled the Secret Service and breached White House security. Major networks have been encouraged to get their bids in to secure the interview about the incident that sent shockwaves though Washington D.C.
Although their names were not on the official list managed by the Secret Service, the Salahis apparently had no trouble gaining entrance to the dinner honoring Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Michaele Salahai has been trying to land a spot on Bravo’s The Real Housewifes [sic] of D.C. with many people claiming the whole incident was just a huge publicity stunt by the couple.
RadarOnline.com revealed that the aspiring socialites are no strangers to controversy as they have been named, either as defendants or plaintiffs on 16 different lawsuits. One of their businesses is in bankruptcy. Tareq has even sued his own mother. Through competing lawsuits, the couple won control of Oasis Winery from Tareq’s mother in 2007 but quickly ran the Virginia establishment into financial ruin.
Oasis filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in February, listing the IRS and American Express among the unpaid creditors. It also owed $224,000 for “rental of FedEx Redskins Suite and related hospitality services.” Among assets they’d acquired with Oasis money — but had already been subject to repo — were a $150,000 Aston Martin and a $90,000 boat. It remains to be seen if charges are brought against the pair who have reportedly been questioned by the Secret Service following the incident that was reported worldwide.

Their scandalous, duplicitous, thieving history is epic. I truly am without words, I just don’t know what to say about them. Looking over Michaele’s Facebook fan page makes me physically ill. She has this link to clips from their 2003 wedding on YouTube. When you click to go directly to YouTube, you see the spot where people can write a little summary of their video. Michaele’s (improperly spelled) short summary is 566 words long! She goes into the monotonous details of the embarrassingly over-the-top wedding, noting:
A Wedding filled with love & passion with an exciting 1,836 Guests at the Historic St. Matthews Cathedral in Washington DC followed by the spectacular reception/wedding celebration at Oasis Winery in Hume, Virginia. This Wedding featured 28 Bridesmaids, 28 Groomsmen, 8 Flower Girls, 2 boy ring bearers. Highlights included best friend and Twenty Time Grammy Award-Winner Claude McKnight performing in Cathedral & at Oasis, a live 16 piece Choir, Herald Trumpets, A Live Orchestra during pre-reception, a 36 piece Big-Band during dinner & dancing, the barrel room & tasting room turned into late night dancing, concluding with a 30 minute MegaFireworks Show! Wedding was filled with the whos who of best friends from Washington DC, Virginia and guests from the entire globe that attended this wedding that celebrated Love & Passion! Featured wedding speakers were United States Supreme Court Justice Kennedy, Governor Mark Warner, Her Excellency Ambassador Margaret Heckler of Ireland, Family Member/Uncle Eddie OMalley, former HR Director for the CIA.

I’m sorry, I just realized you probably threw up in your mouth. My bad. That’s only the first teeny little paragraph. I have never wanted to slap a bitch so badly in my life. This is one of those people that doesn’t understand “your [fill in blank] is the center of your world, not THE world.” A lot of people seem to like her for the moxy it took to pull one over on the Secret Service. I challenge any of those people to read about all the lawsuits, all the businesses she’s put out of business, all the millions of bad debt, all the forgeries and lies, and tell me there is anything to admire about this parasite.
