Please Don’t Hate on the Salahis. Crashing Parties is Awesome.
Man, I hope that the Salahis (you know the couple that crashed that White House party last week) don’t go to jail. I mean, national security is super important, and nobody should be able to just run up on the leader of the free world. But, it’s not like this tandem was a crazed terrorist duo. They were just random party hoppers who were trying to get next to the Prez. I don’t think there is anything too wrong with that. After all, who doesn’t want to be at the most cracking party in town?
Of course, I could be a little biased, especially because I cut my teeth as a journalist in the music industry sneaking into parties and running up on celebrities. Trust me, there is no greater thrill than shoving a microphone in the face of an unsuspecting star, who just minutes earlier ignored your interview request on the red carpet. Really, nothing beats the expression of fear on a famous person’s face when you are all up in their personal space. It’s sort of like payback for all the little people who have been kept on the bottom by “the Man”. (Ok, maybe it was only that big of a deal in my head.)
On second thought, I can sort of see why the government might want to prosecute these two. I’m sure that they prolly want to deter people from thinking that they can just sneak into the White House whenever there is some sort of shindig. Especially given the fact that President Obama has a lot of detractors who would prolly love to shove something a lot more life threatening in his face than a microphone. After all, Obama got a Secret Service detail assigned to him earlier than any other Presidential candidate in history.
You know what? I have changed my mind completely. I think the Salahis should be thrown into Gitmo like Harold and Kumar. We can’t have any more socialites thinking that they can get close to the President. Where is Dick Cheney when you need him?
