Aw, c'mon guys! For a couple of days you were my heroes and now you've gone and messed it up. I'm writing, of course, about Michaele and Tareq Salahi, who delighted many of us by successfully fooling the Secret Service, which is not easy, and crashing Barack Obama's state dinner for the prime minister of India this past week. It was a great coup. They got to pose with the Prez; they looked terrific and right at home. Those screams you hear are from the Secret Service agents being flogged in the White House basement. Has it ever been done before? I don't think so. Could be wrong, but I go back a few years and can't remember anything like it. And they had no intent to harm, of course. It was just a terrific prank we could all enjoy. But now they want to sell their story, news reports say, for several hundred thousand dollars. Boo, hiss, guys! Do they need the money? Hard to know. The New York Times reports that "For years, the Salahis have publicized their own flashy adventures in the social and sporting scenes of Washington and its outlying horse country, and left behind a record of lawsuits and unpaid bills...." Tell you what, Salahis--I'd be glad to listen to your story over a good meal somewhere--it's on me. But six figures? You've got to be kidding.
