The State Dinner crashers, Tareq and Michaele Salahi, may have been doing this for a while.
In addition to their incriminating State Dinner photos – they were definitely not on the guest list – there are two other interesting photos.
Here they are inside the glass-enclosed presidential viewing box from the Inaugural concert at the Lincoln Memorial.
Their caption:
Tareq & Michaele were honored to be invited to President Obamas private viewing box at the Lincoln Memorial. Naturally this picture was taken after his departure. Sitting in the correct order of exactly were President Obama & First Lady were seated. The glass is not only bullet proof, but also electrified. Never try to touch this special protective glass.
And poor Oprah got roped in as well.
Here they are Kennedy Center. It sure doesn’t look photoshopped.
Their caption:
Tareq, Michaele & OPRAH backstage at the Kennedy Center after the Oprah TV Special Show. The Hottest ticket in town for the Inauguration, without a doubt.
The kicker?
Michaele was being filmed by a Bravo production crew during the 8 hours it took for her to get ready.The stylist asked her where the invitation was:
She starts rummaging through her purse, and then said, ‘It must be out in the car’.
The crew also tried to follow them in but were stopped.
How could they have not stuck out?
Maybe that was the point.
They’re expected to be on Larry King Monday night.
