WASHINGTON – Michaele and Tareq Salahi like a good party, an attorney who knows them said Thursday, and maybe that's why the couple from Virginia's horse country didn't look out of place at the White House state dinner for the Indian prime minister.
They were all smiles as they rubbed shoulders with Vice President Joe Biden, White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty and CBS News anchor Katie Couric.
No one suspected the Salahis were a couple of brazen party crashers — and wannabe reality TV stars.

It was on the news, I think it is kind of funny. They had their picture taken, I think it was with Biden. Like, if they are that slick, they probably livened the party up some.:wah:

How to Crash a Party
Ever notice a great party going on down the street from your house, but have to kick yourself for not knowing your neighbors enough to get an invite? Read this and have fun!
Dress well and stylishly, but be yourself.
Make yourself clean: brush your teeth and hair, apply makeup and perfume or cologne. Basically, be what I call "date-ready".
Calling a cab is a great idea, so you don't have to find parking or drive home drunk.
When you get to the party, walk in confidently and say hello to a few people as you enter.
Look for someone who appears to be nice, helpful and approachable, and ask them who the host of the party is and their name. It is helpful to have them introduce you or at least point out the host.
Introduce yourself to the host, making eye contact and offering a firm handshake. Tell them "I live/work/stay/play/drive nearby and I couldn't help noticing what a fun party you were having- I just had to crash it to meet the person behind it all-I hear that is you, am I right? I am (insert name here)."
By this point (if you chose the right outfit) the host's arm should be around your shoulders and they should be leading you to the bar, and introducing you to a few people along the way.
Have fun!
Thank the host and get their contact info to invite them to your next shindig, before you leave.

Ronald Kessler, author of a book on the Secret Service, said in an interview, "While the couple did pass through a magnetometer to detect weapons, they could have assassinated the president or vice president using other means — anthrax, for example. The additional security checks referred to by the Secret Service spokesman screen for such items as radiological contamination but would not detect secreted biological weapons."
This is just not funny!:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl
awesome security systems!:wah:
