Salahis -- 'We Were Invited, Not Crashers'

Posted Dec 1st 2009 12:50AM by TMZ Staff

The White House Party Crashers say they're anything but -- and this morning said they are certain they'll be "completely exonerated" when all the details come out.

Tareq and Michaele Salahi were on "Today," where they said they were "devastated" and "shocked" by claims they weren't invited to the White House state dinner -- and are currently working with the secret service to clear their name.

They claim they have documentation proving they were guests -- we haven't seen it yet, but we gotta ask ...

3. They were invited. But after a news blogger discovered they have ties to Hamas the SS and EH had to have a coverup put together very quickly.

6. There are at least three areas upon entry to the White House where names and identification are strictly checked. They WERE on the list (had to be) because NO ONE gets into the White House unless OK'd by a top official of the WH staff. Start there. Start with an insider doing something as a favor for a 'friend.' One of Obama's staffers knew and approved.

7. They should be prosecuted. Make an example out of them and send a message to all the other media hungry, reality show wannabes that pull crap like this just to get on TV. The Secret Service also needs to be reprimanded in some way and they need to overhaul their security measures. This should never have happened and would never have happened if the Secret Service was doing their job.

9. HA HA....

did you see his Face..and hers?!?!?
I've Not seen BRICK SH!TTING on Television like that since Kato took the stand in the O.J. Simpson trial...
U.S. Secret Service has been GRILLING THEIR ASS like Steaks on the Barbie!!!!
And OBVIOUSLY they're BROKE, and CRASHING THE CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS event?!?!?! how Desperate can you be to be a celebrity!!!
THIS IS TWO FUNNY!!!!
But in the end, since This Particular President's personal security is not a MAJOR issue (can't imagine why..)and everyone seems to have a "cavalier" attitude towards his safety, they'll be "let off" lightly,...maybe misdemeanor trespassing on FEDERAL PROPERTY....IF there is such a thing?!?!?!
Ahhhh...the virtues of being blond, "white" and entitled....

10. Not buying their story but in the end absolutely NOTHING will happen to them as the Secret Service (not wanting to look completely inept) will eventually back up their lies.

11. What a bunch of liars! The real reason they don't want to go public is to give (pray) they Secret Service will save face and claim they were indeed invited plus they don't want to bury themselves deeper in their own lies.

What a outrage when they claim there private lives were invaded by the media when in fact they are trying to get on a Reality show and brag about their lives on the internet.

Why didn't Matt asked about her claims being a former Washington Redskins cheerleader? Matt did a poor job with his softball questions.

12. Last night I watched an interview on local news with his brother. They have not spoken in FIVE years, because of a family business issue. The brother is a local doc here. Check out the interview: news4jax.com.

13. WHO ARE THEY?? CAN SOMEONE TELL ME?

14. Bullsh-t. Matt starts out with "we didn't pay you," but NBC owns Bravo and they'll get a huge payday for being on that show. That seems to be the most honest portion of the interview as well.

15. Last time I checked, party crashing is not a crime. They went to the White House and they were let in; they did not climb over the fence and they did not break in. Whether they were invited or not, it was the President's "protectors" that allowed them to enter the White House because they were "cleared of weapons." However, they could have had anthrax or ricin ready for their up close and personal time with the President and Vice President. The one's responsible for letting them in should be fired! They put the President in potential danger. If they had been asked to leave then refused to do so, then they could have been charged with trespassing.
