Executive Privilege? For a Dinner Party List?

by sinde on December 3, 2009

Okay, I suppose we all knew there would be little transparency once the Obama team began to feel comfortable in the White House.  It was inevitable that sooner or later something would happen that the team wanted to confine within the walls of the White House.  Who would have guessed that it would concern the dinner party list of attendees at the Obama’s first state dinner?

On the one hand many of us feel we have extended the Salahi’s fifteen minutes of fame to an unfashionable and now boring several days.  On the other hand we are all concerned about the lapse in security that would allow two uninvited social climbers into the first Obama state dinner.  Or, if I had a third hand maybe I would ask if the crashers were invited or not.

To be honest in our opinion the story has taken on a life of its own.  Who are the winners?  Obviously, the Salahis.  If they wanted their name splashed across every newspaper they have succeeded.  But, amid the national concern over gate crashers infiltrating the White House grounds the invocation of executive privilege to prevent Desiree Rogers from going to Capitol Hill to discuss the matter seems a bit dramatic …. and reminiscent of the Dick Days.
