10 Things We Can Learn from White House Party Crashers, Tareq and Michaele Salahi

Joe should be honored to be sandwiched between such geniuses.

I don’t recommend busting into the White House uninvited, but I figure if you’ve got the guts to do it, you’re a braver person than I am.  And heck, if they can make it all the way to the room where the president is located and shake his hand without an invitation and without getting caught, I think we should hire them up right and give them top positions in the espionage department of the CIA.  And while I’m not condoning what they did, I’m certainly not on the “throw ‘em in prison bandwagon” like Neil Cavuto, among others.  If you dig through all the hooplah, we can actually learn a lot from this whole fiasco.  Like:

1. The secret service isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. How can they allow two uninvited guests to not only enter the White House, but also make it all the way to the president and even get a picture with them?  It’s amazing they’re able to protect Barack from all those crazies out there that want to take him down.
2. The recession has definitely hit the news media. Sure news agencies have said for years that they don’t pay for interviews, but you and me both know that 4 years ago SOMEONE would have stepped up by now to fork over what the Salahis are asking for to land an exclusive interview.
3. Some people will never take responsibility for their actions. Though I haven’t heard anything about the secret service doing this, I’ve read many articles from reputable news personalities saying the Salahis should be “ashamed for embarrassing our secret service”.  Umm I think the secret service has that covered on their own, thank you.
4. Saturday Night Live should plan their off-weeks better. Everyones favorite Saturday night entertainment missed a great oppurtunity for a parody of this event.  Kristen Wiig and that guy she does the “Two A-holes” skit with would have been brilliant as the Salahis.  Oh well, there’s always next week.
5. America really is making great strides away from racial prejudice. With a name like “Tareq Salahi”, this guy is just a turban away from being on the “100 most dangerous terrorist list”.  It’s refreshing to know that we’re at a point where people who just a few years ago would have been background checked to fill up their gas tank are able to avoid harsh judgement.  I just wish this lesson could have been learned in a manner that would have been so devastating if all of the “what if”s would have played out.
6. Facebook really is the root of all evil. I have a Facebook, but I only made it to make The Conservative Journal fan page.  On last count, I have zero friends.  Sad I know.  Regardless of my own friendlessness, the Michaele has proven that Facebook is the downfall of modern society.  If she hadn’t posted pictures on her Facebook page, she and her husbands presence probably would have gone undetected.  But then again, what’s the point of doing anything if you can’t make it your Facebook status?
7. We’re running out of reality show ideas. When you have to stoop so low as make several different versions of a show called “Real Housewives of [insert city here]” (the show the Salahis are trying be cast for), it’s obvious the reality show well is drying up.  Watch out for the next big thing of 2010, “Real Housewives of Tyler, Texas”.
8. The stress of the office is getting to Barack’s hair. In the picture of Michaele and Barack ( found here), you can clearly see Barack’s hair color is making the famed shift that all presidential manes experience: from colored to Paw-paw.

If there’s one thing the Salahis aren’t, it’s unmotivated.  Unlike the many fame-whores before them, I actually wish them the best.  Because the likes of Perez Hilton, Speidi (these two are the worst), and others NEVER managed to do something as impressive as sneak into the White House.

Can you think of anything else we can learn from the Salahis?  Leave your comments below or send an e-mail to theconservativejournal@gmail.com.  Don’t forget to bookmark The Conservative Journal and sign up for the RSS Feed and the daily e-mail newsletter.
