Two US Senators - Evan Bayh (Dem-Indiana) and Jon Kyl (Repub-AZ) - say authorities must pursue criminal charges against the Virginia couple who crashed last week's White House State Dinner.
The two believe an example must be made in order to dissuade others from trying to get next to the President of the United States is so casual a manner, and without invitation. The 2 appeared on FOX News Sunday to discuss the issue.
Authorities say Michaele (mih-KEL') andTareq Salahi (TAH'-rehk sah-LAH'-hee) were allowed into the White House dinner Tuesday night even though they were not on the guest list. The Secret Service has apologized for the breakdown in security, and an investigation into possible criminal behavior is ongoing.Bayh says it's no laughing matter that two people could get so close to President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden without being cleared.

They weren't that casual. Not like they were wearing jeans and tennis shoes. ;)

It would be interesting what they would be criminally charge with. Is this a deflection of the GAF by the White House Staff and the Secret Service?

i believe they shoould be charged with being the fools they are and any network who pays them money to have them make an appearance should be charged with same offense...first the baloon boy now the party crashers..........this is getting ridiculous

I do think they should be charged. I also don't find it amusing that more than likely they were doing this as a publicity stunt for the sitcom on Washington Wives that is in the works.
