I actually agree with Bayh and Kyl? Wow...

I don't know if it would be "hilarious" if they were sent to jail, but it would be healthy for the rest of America to figure out that breaking the law in the service of reality TV stardom is unacceptable.

But I think we should also at least questoin the rest of the guest list... is there any reason there were so many celebrities in attendance?

Would it be possible for my taxpayer dollar to fund a state dinner where, instead of Brian Williams as a guest, we could have an award-winning high school science or humanities teacher?

I don't know that I find the Salahis so much less compelling than some of the attendees. It seems to me that columnist Tom Friedman has little more honor than my local bus driver, who not only delivers me safely to my destination but wasn't stupid enough to promote the Iraq invasion some years ago. And my local bus driver exemplifies "green living" much better than the wealthy idiots like Friedman who promote carbon saving yet live in absurdly expensive-to-light-and-heat mansions.

This country needs to take a serious look at its pathetic self.

Not the first time the Obama White House has had gatecrashers.

Little stunt you say delmoi? Here's a little backround on this cute pranksters:
He drove a family business into the ground (delcaration of Bankruptcy). He has MULTIPLE Warrant in Debt and Unlawful Detainers against him in Fauquier County and he is being evicted from his home! And now he is to open another business? Not to mention all of the claims against this man from the VA Department of Labor.

Please do not visit this winery, they dont even make their own wines! While at Oasis, Rappahanock vineyards "bottled" the wine and oasis slapped a label on it.

Tareq was too concerned with purchasing a new aston martin than to worry about the quality of his wine. He would even make the employees go out and polish the car every day. Funny how he would not pay the employees overtime and he showed up with a new 165k automobile.

He also placed the employees on two different payrolls, Oasis Winery and Oasis Enterprises. Even if you did not work in the winery, you would receive a paycheck from them. This was done so he could avoid paying his employees overtime. The employees would have to work 18 hour days (when the events occured at the winery eg weddings, concerts, ect). No overtime.

Anything that would happen regarding pay...Tareq would blame his mother. He shafted employees out of thousands of dollars.

They are two bit grifters, out on the town.

Ok one more for "Leave the Salamis alone" delmoi:

Tareq Salahi, co-founder of The Land Rover America's Polo Cup, and his parents have been battling in court over control of the family's Oasis Winery in Fauquier County, Va.

The parents claim they need to sell the 108-acre winery to pay off more than $1 million in debt their son has allegedly tallied. Tareq Salahi is fighting to hold on to the winery, betting he and his wife can turn the business around next year.

His father, however, has little faith.

"They lost the home," Dirgham Salahi, 82, told The News, explaining that his son's 4,000-square-foot house in Front Royal, Va., is in foreclosure.

No one answered the door of the couple's $660,000 home, which remains furnished, and a dog could be heard barking inside. A photo of Tareq Salahi posing with Prince Charles was prominently displayed on a wall.

Michaele Salahi told Washingtonian magazine in 2004 that she owned close to 300 pairs of shoes.

Neighbors said the couple are far from royalty.

"Nobody wants to deal with them," said a neighbor.

Another neighbor said the Salahis were living out of hotels around Washington in recent weeks. The neighbor said the couple's cars, including a Maserati and an Aston Martin, have been repossessed.

"People come in our driveway looking for them," the neighbor said. "The sheriffs have come by twice lately."

Best punishment for her would be to threaten to boycott Bravo if they cast her on their ridiculous reality show.

Preposterous. You don't invent laws to take away someone's liberty and subject them to years of confinement because of embarrassment. I'm ashamed that so many Americans, politicians and others, are calling for jail time for a couple of court jesters. Is it a crime to insult the king?

Bayh and Kyl aren't worthy of being Senators.

Continuing... why do you think they should be prosecuted? Do you even know what law they are alleged to have broken? Or are you of the mind that federal laws should be studied on vain to find some technical violation in order to put two people into jail for an arbitrary time? Those of you that are advocating imprisonment, I hope you're never subject to the type of politically-motivated prosecution that you wish upon others.

Thank goodness President Obama and Attorney General Holder have enough common sense to realize that no prosecution is even remotely warranted.

Shame on those who want to deny liberty to people that embarrass our leaders.

Could we arrange for all reality-show-aspirants to be locked up - for their own good, as well as the good of the nation?

The "tut-tutting"of these mischievous rascals makes me want to puke. I'd like to see security heads roll. These two grifters have their hands full with bill collectors nipping at their high heels, their window of opportunity has long since closed. Screw them. They're in way deeper shit than security breeches. When there credit cards are canceled then we will see how ingenious they are. Those clever rascals will love 3 square meals and a roof over their grifter asses. Bon Voyage little cons.

I am not a lawyer, so, take this with a large grain of salt: It isn't clear to me what law(s) these jokers violated. Perhaps trespassing?

They have a pretty solid case that they weren't trespassing since nobody tried to tell them to leave and were generally receptive of them, no?

Some are asking what law they broke. What a ridiculous question. Why should the Omnipotent Unified Executive have to explain this? Jeez, I thought that was clear by now. Lock 'em up as enemy combatants!
