Friends In High Places: The Salahis And The Famous People They Take Pictures With | TPMDC
The woman (Michaele Salawi) claims to have been a Washington Redskins cheerleader but no one remembers her and she isn't in any pictures of them. Newspapers have already printed this kind of thing as fact, and that she was an actress in a reality show, but I would not necessarily believe anything biographical that these people claim. There is a rich history of people who invent their own biographies (Fellini is a prime example.)
Here are some of the people she and her partner Tareq have insinuated themselves into photographs with such as Joe Biden, Justice Anthony Kennedy and Charlie Rangel.
Then there is Donny Osmond, John McCain and Prince Charles. There is a "Fan" page on Facebook where the photos have been posted and the couple claims to have been invited to the White House, but that is apparently not true and Secret Service are investigating. Security should be better. I know it's fun. It's a lark. I've been photographed with Gephart, Kucinich, Dean and Kerry (but not Obama) and it didn't take alot of effort and I had done some political work and gone through appropriate screening. Getting in with no invite at all should not be happening.
Daily Kos: They came THIS close. WTF?! There were a couple of interesting things in the comments - the photo of Mata Hari, and the video which shows how one of the Ghandi family was assassinated (and not the first in that family to be done in that way.) This fact was disconcerting to some of the Indian guests and readers, to say the least!
I think this was an unfair thing to have let happen. You open the doors to the wrong doers letting them think it would be easy to hurt Mr. or Mrs. President or the VP family members. Yes, they should be peanalized so no one will think it would be easy. By the way how can you hurt the child of God. The President and his wife are children of the king. Please, people get that out of your minds about wanting to hurt them because anything you try God will protect them. So, get over the fact of him being a person of color and yes, he and his wife are both georgous.

The party crashers should get penalized because this was not a joke. The should be found guilty, and given a fine to pay for fraud. What they did is a felony offense and it should not get overlooked. The President and wife as well as the Vice President and his wife lives were in jeopardy and that should not be taken lightly.

I agree.
