I am just beside myself with amazement that a couple of wannabe reality TV stars from Virginia somehow weaseled their way into one of the most important buildings in the country without getting so much as a "Hey, can I see your ticket?" So, it doesn't matter how much the White House, the Secret Service or the media tries to paint the Salahis in a negative light the ones who failed at their jobs are the ones who look stupid. Of course, the couple are denying they crashed the dinner and adamantly declare they were invited saying in an interview with NBC's "Today" show, "We were invited, not crashers, and there isn't anyone who would have the audacity or the poor behavior to do that. No one would do that, and certainly not us."
Well, actually, there are plenty of people who would do that, especially TERRORISTS! I'm sure that if they knew it would've been that easy, the White House would have been obliterated a long time ago and our president assassinated. Has 9/11 not taught us anything??Fortunately, the incompetence of government security was exposed in a harmless situation, thanks to a couple who only wanted attention. Despite the embarrassment and anger, I think it's safe to say that this nation really lucked up with this one.
