Why do you think Cheney is out there ranting and carrying on? To protect his own hide? No. To do the same exact 'Darth Vader' fear mongering that won him the war in Iraq. That is why Cheney is out there.
If this proves to be the case, the Salahis lives aren't ruined. They have made a name for themselves in a far different way than they expected. They have a 'beef' with whomever started this rumor and not anyone else.
Evidently, the Salahis may very well be very connected in "DC Social Circles" (click title to entry - thank you) and may have even been 'set up' to have this play out.
Mrs. Salahi is obviously involved in the public rhelm and may very well feel very 'at home' at a state dinner, an official function, of the White House. If that is the case, the media and everyone that jumped to faux conclusions owe them a sincere apology. I think the evidence 'on the web' speaks somewhat for itself.
Apologies to the Secret Service as well if it is discovered this was nothing more than a political trick to embarrass the President and First Lady. We await the investigation.
...The crew followed the Salahis to the White House (click here) but could not get into the dinner.
"Everything we've worked for," she told NBC, "for me -- 44 years -- destroyed."
The Salahis declined to tell NBC who invited them to the dinner, saying they had turned over documents including e-mails to Secret Service investigators....
