So now the Secret Service says, “Well, we guess we also let some other dude go to the State Dinner at the White House, because …. he was with these other Indian guys.” Jeez, doesn’t Barack Obama know this is the War Century? Nobody is releasing the name of this so-called “member of the Indian delegation,” because of the way terrorists are coddled and cuddled by this fucking administration, my god, why even HAVE a country if this is what is going to happen.

Does anyone know if this ever happened before? I cannot believe that it never did.
LOVE Edward Gorey. His alphabet was one of my favorite books.
[re=488641]Doglessliberal[/re]: I love the Gorey alphabet book too! One of the kids died of ennui…
Was it called The Gashlycrumb Tinies?
[re=488641]Doglessliberal[/re]: Z is for Zillah, who drank too much gin.
You’re either with us or you’re with the gate-crashers.
[re=488643]Sweet Baby Cheeses[/re]: yes!

[re=488641]Doglessliberal[/re]: I read a NYT article that said it has happened a lot, as it’s bound to. I myself got into the VIP reviewing stand at the ski jump of the 1980 Olympics; I told everyone I was press. I was 17 and looked like I was 12. Another time I passed myself off as an Air Force intelligence officer so I could play racquetball on base. It was nice. I got saluted. I don’t even know if there is an Air Force intelligence, maybe they didn’t either. I am currently masquerading as someone competent at my job. Everyone’s a sucker.

Let’s hope the Secret Services isn’t responsible for protecting 7/11′s since they can’t tell Apu from Siddhartha from Ishmael. Don’t they watch “24?” Golly. At the very least they should watch Sesame Street and learn how to count.
[re=488648]slithytoves[/re]: yes, people operate under the assumption that everyone is who they say they are and no one is lying to them. This is why con men do so well. We don’t go around assuming we are being conned. That being said, I think White House security should make the asumption everyone is lying and/or trying to kill the President.
So the way to sneak into a White House party is to join with a large group of people who are authorized to go, and just go in with them as if you’re part of the group. I’m half expecting the Secret Service won’t release this guy’s name because he was actually Sacha Baron Cohen in costume.
In the night through the house it would aimlessly creep
In spite of the fact of its being asleep
I once crashed a New York Bankers Association party–the best food, drink and the Mommas and the Poppas played. I also snuck into the control room of a Soviet mission, boy were they mad. It’s not as hard as some may think.
[re=488656]Doglessliberal[/re]: This is how I behave in Tijuana. I walk in the middle of the street, try to look nondescript, assume that everyone wants to kill me, and I drink massively. So far I’m in one piece, but maybe I’m lucky.
Confidential sources claim that the uninvited guest was Bobby Jindal. He wanted to check out the Whitehouse because he will be moving in on Jan. 20 2012.
Make that Jan. 20, 2013.
How funy is it that this guy crashed the party and nobody cared while those white dipshits got all that ridiculous attention? really funny if your me and you like the idea of a smart and polite guy just quietly piping up in his office with: “oh, you guys reading Gawker? yeah, I was at that party too. I didn’t get caught though because I wasn’t an attention-mongering jackass. Y’all want to se a picture of me fist-bumping Rahm? too bad I’m not showing it to anyone ezxcept my grandkids.”
[re=488644]SmutBoffin[/re]: [re=488641]Doglessliberal[/re]: N is for Neville, who died of ennui.
A Secret Service spokesperson said “wait..wha? We’re supposed to protect ALL the Presidents?”
But the Secret Service said all three uninvited guests went through other screening, such as metal detectors, before the event.
As though that should reassure us. I’m sure we’ve all heard that terrorists are experimenting with weaponized samosas. We’re just lucky that third crasher didn’t disappear for 20 minutes with the mint chutney.
[re=488680]populucious[/re]: [re=488644]SmutBoffin[/re]: I love Wonkette.
[re=488685]SayItWithWookies[/re]: this whole posting is making me starving.
Said Joe Biden: “In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts or a state dinner unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”
At least they kept Tonto out.
[re=488643]Sweet Baby Cheeses[/re]: Who cares about neville?
[re=488730]chaste everywhere[/re]: Said Joe Biden: “That’s feathers. These guys are dots.”
Why even have a country indeed. Let’s divvy it up and sell it off. Dibs on a spot in Switzerlands area.
[re=488730]chaste everywhere[/re]: Dots . . . dots . . . Sometimes Joe the Veep goes right over my head (even when I’m playing a turbaned ruffian).
About an hour after she eats a plate of vindaloo is when my wife starts having her uninvited indian guests.
The problem with securing one of these shindigs is simple, everyone attending it is an over entitled asshole. You can’t do what you’re supposed to do, which is have them kneel in the mud with their hands behind their heads while you keep the muzzle of your automatic rifle pressed against the base of their skull and call your higher echelon to confirm their story. If you stop them from waltzing in and they are actually supposed to be there, your next guard mount will be on a radar station two hundred miles inside the arctic circle.
I’ve stood guard over some highly secured locations and once came this close ( |..|) to putting a couple of rounds into my battalion commander (Major Malfunction) who foolishly attempted to approach post #4 without “advancing one to be recognized”. He didn’t believe I’d ventilate him until he heard the selector switch on my M-16 click from “safety” to “let’s party”.
Light up a couple of mid-level bureaucrats at the outer check point of a Gala and this bullshit would cease pronto, I guarantee.
[re=488675]TheWaltonFirm[/re]: I suspect the third guy didn’t get nearly as much press because he isn’t being followed around town by a TV crew shooting a reality TV series.
[re=488768]dijetlo[/re]: Kinda made me wonder what would happen if, during the security check, someone were to bellow the command “Stand and deliver!”
What would fall out of those evening gowns and tuxes?
[re=488700]Doglessliberal[/re]: Inspired me to make Tikka Masala tonight!
This post basically made my day. I feel there must be some political allegory in Gorey’s The Curious Sofa what with the butt secks and all.
[re=488768]dijetlo[/re]: Awesome. You can be the guy in the suit and dark glasses with the little coiled-wire thingee behind his ear at my kid’s next birthday party.
That’d look pretty cool in the middle of a Chuck E. Cheezes.

Second story down.
[re=488656]Doglessliberal[/re]: Aren’t our politicians all con men?
<3 The Doubtful Guest. That’s my wall calendar for 2010, I presume it will make for a good year.
[re=489029]finette[/re]: HA! me too.
