Sorry, Joker.

These folks are rather infamous in the home area. He almost sold the
family winery to Shaq a few years ago; iirc one of the lawsuits
between him and his father nixed that. They like promoting rip-off
polo events, where you get charged a lot of money but don't get food
or latrine facilities. Lovely people.

At least the dude who crashed all those Super Bowls was there to help
carry the load...

Hey, Tom, who is that guy?
Super Bowl XII: The Super Bowl has legendary gate-crashers like Skipper
McNally, who helped carry Chiefs coach off after winning Super IV, but
nobody beats Dion Rich, who has snuck into more than 30 Super Bowls, and
is pictured here carrying Tom Landry off the field after the Cowboys beat
the Broncos.

If we cannot secure the White House, how can we secure anything?

They're total dipshits and most people around here has known it for a
while. Sadly, these are the kind of people this swampy provincial
backwater of a town attracts, although these were technically courtesy
of our neighbors to the south. Apparently federal felony charges are
being considered, that would make it so much more worthwhile.

That's it in a nutshell. You show up dressed for the event, looking
like you belong, and acting like you belong and you can go almost
anywhere. It's all in your attitude. The old cliche about if you've
got a clipboard you can go almost anywhere is true.
They showed up and nobody questioned it because who would think that
anybody would have the balls enough to try to crash a state dinner.
They didn't "lie" because they were introduced as themselves. They
were even annouced as they walked in to go through the receiving line.
And as the Secret Service pointed out, nobody was ever in any danger
because everybody has to go throught physical pat downs and a metal
detector.

I'm not trying to make a bigger deal out of it than it was, but I
assume they did have silverware at this dinner, including knives.

Nope... All jello and mashed potatoes...

Good point, although I suspect that even at a State Dinner Obama's
Secret Service Detail was never more than a couple of feet away and
packing serious firepower.
Not to diminish what these folks did, but they're nothing more than
publicity hounds.

Scot buddy, is your "spellcheck" broken? I think more of this couple
than I do people who don't use "spellcheck."
We're "throught" here.

I think more of publicity hounds than I do people who unnecessarily
capitalize words. It's all in the "Details" bro.

The Secret Service would *have* to say that because right now they
look like slapped asses.

Apparently the "invitees" offered the networks interviews for "several
hundred thousand dollars" and were shut down, most notably by CNN/
Larry King after they were scheduled to be on. You gots to love this
town, never a dull moment. Boy would I like to see these people in
jail.

Attributions are kind of messed up there, my bad...
