Evidently, the well dressed White House party crashers were allowed into the White House to get them in out of the rain.
Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss), chair of the House Comittee on Homeland Security announced plans to hold a hearing about the White House party crashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi. The fun seekers will be “invited” to testify, according to the Washington Post:
“The Committee plans to invite testimony from Mr. and Mrs. Salahi, who managed to attend portions of the State Dinner without proper White House and Secret Service clearance, and Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan, who is responsible for the safety of Secret Service protectees and the plans his agency develops and implements to secure them,” a statement from the committee said.
The Salahis are not yet confirmed as attendees at the hearing and already have canceled a scheduled appearance on “Larry King Live” as they seek to sell their story to the highest-bidder. But refusing to show up at a congressional hearing on the subject of their caper, even if they do not yet have a tell-all deal in hand, would likely be perceived as the height of insolence and diva-like behavior even for aspiring reality television stars.
The committee has not had to subpoena a witness in its seven-year history, a Homeland Security spokeswoman said, though she did not rule out the possibility the panel would use one should the couple decline to appear.”
Studiously avoided by the media thus far is Salahi’s board membership with The American Task Force for Palestine (ATFP) on which he serves with Obama and Ayers’ good friend, terrorist supporter, Rashid Khalidi.
A caller to FNC’s Brian and the Judge show tried to talk about the connection and the possible implications. Judge Andrew Nepolitano insisted that if such a thing were true, it would be front page news.
If only he were right.
