Not Enough Friends

I sense that I've been going about this all wrong. It has always been my practice to do what I was supposed to do (mostly), try not to annoy people, and generally be honest. While I have not attracted much worldwide attention, I haven't been arrested, either. Maybe I just need to be a bit more overreaching...
like the Sarahis.
This is the story of the couple who "crashed" the White House dinner the other day. Of course, their publicist indicates that such a thing definitely did not happen, despite the dozens of pictures of the Mrs. with Joe Biden, Rahm Emmanuel and others. Why would anyone want to do such a thing and risk federal scrutiny, you ask?
Well, it appears that the woman is a finalist for Bravo's new show "Housewives of D.C" and has been taping their lives for the past few months...I guess for the purpose of seeing if she's the kind of polo-playing hottie that would garner ratings.
It seems that their auto was turned away by the Secret Service for their not having an invitation; subsequently, they hopped out of the car with a makeup person, a hair stylist and a video cameraman in tow, and headed for the line of walk-up folks in order to get into the dinner.
Seriously...walk-up traffic to a White House dinner? What,do people take the bus in a tuxedo? I suppose cabs are possible, but, still...it's the White House! Limos, please!
Anyway, within minutes of their arrival, this woman's Facebook page (to be seen by her reportedly more than 4,000 friends, not including me)had all sorts of photos posted to confirm her presence at this gala affair. Somewhere along the line, they were found out and forced to leave...perhaps when all the guests were seated at the dinner and there were no name cards for them!
Bravo, of course, claims no culpability here, having been assured by the couple that they DID have an invitation...no doubt left in the OTHER tuxedo.
I say,enough already. Do something about global warming, sponsor cancer/HIV research to get your 15 minutes of fame (though this type of person doesn't usually WANT fame) or just try to live a life that benefits people other than yourselves. Even spending countless hours cultivating friends online has to be a more positive activity than we've seen lately from these egotists trying to become reality television stars.
While self-promotion seems to be all the rage these days, I just can't see rewarding these folks.
I'm sure the White House is not amused. Merely passing through a metal detector should not be the sole security measure, either. The "good taste" police should have been on duty.
Sheesh!
