Update: On the local news this morning, I learned that the DC Police can act as escort, but there is paperwork involved and a fee. The Salahi’s submitted no paperwork and no fee is on record. An internal investigation is under way.
In Episode Two of the Real Housewives of Washington DC, Michaele and Tareq Salahi arrive at the party they are throwing for Paul Wharton in a white stretch limo escorted by a DC police cruiser, lights flashing, siren on.
The problem: DC police officers are not allowed to escort ordinary civilians to parties.
On Friday, D.C. police spokeswoman Gwendolyn Crump acknowledged that the episode raised some questions. “The Metropolitan Police Department was not involved in any official escort of the Salahis,” she said in a statement. “We are investigating the circumstances of the cruiser appearing in the segment.” She declined to comment further.
A representative from Bravo, the cable network that airs “Real Housewives,” could not be reached.
The Salahi’s pulled off this stunt in October, 2009, one month before the infamous White House State Dinner gatecrasher incident.
Let’s wait for the episode showing the Salahi’s in the police car.

I am amazed at how some people are able to manipulate others to get what they want. This couple should serve time for crashing the White House dinner but they wriggled out of it, they get a police escort and not so much as a slap on the hand, and they don’t pay their bills on a want to keep up with the Jonses level, and they get on t.v. to blab about how wonderful life is and how well they’re living. WOW! TWO pieces of work.
