Plum presents our raw footage of Michaele & Tareq Salahi, alleged White House party crashers, at the 2008 World Snow Polo Championships in Aspen.

We were combing through our video archives today and, oh my, look what we discovered: Alleged White House party crashers Tareq & Michaele Salahi! The Salahis attended the 2008 World Snow Polo Championships in Aspen, and Michaele Salahi took a stab at hosting for Plum TV.

Rick Carroll of The Aspen Times reports on the Salahis participation in the World Snow Polo Championships:

New Castle rancher Barry Stout can now say he has something in common with President Obama, and it has nothing to do with the war in Afghanistan or the health care debate.

Like Obama, it's doubtful Stout will be inviting Michaele and Tareq Salahi over for dinner any time soon. Not after the couple, who've earned the dubious distinction as the “White House party crashers,” allegedly stiffed Stout to the tune of $19,500 for their entry into last year's World Snow Polo Championship, held Dec. 20-21, 2008, in Aspen...

...Stout said the couple put down a $3,000 deposit that went toward the tournament's $22,500 entry fee. He said he allowed the Salahis' Team Land Rover to participate in the event because he needed a fourth team.

    These two should be put in jail for at least 1 year from their con job to get into the White House. If they were honnest, they would have gone to the gate that night and said "We are not sure if we are on the guest list or not and just thought we would drive over to see if our names were on the list." White House security would have said, "I am sorry, but your names are not on the list, but thank you for stopping by to check." Instead it would seem that they walked over and introduced themselved and gave every impression that they had been invited. Shame on them, but they did get in an had a good time, so now it is time for them to pay the price - 1 year in jail.

    hey supercute - wy do we "have to love her"?

    I don't see a pretty, decent woman. I see a desperate, insecure, con artist. Michaele Salahi & Tareq have defrauded hundreds of decent people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. They've promised to "support" REAL charities that are trying to end horrific diseases in kids and adults (cancer, MS, leukemia, lymphoma, etc). They advertise that any donations go to the charities - the only charities that received the donations were their own pockets.

  • Correction

    Did someone say "Supermodel", oops, perhaps the correct term is Supper Model as she appears to pose as a cheeseball or hot dog, or some other street fare. Bon apetit!

    Stout, don't give up, maybe you can request the red dress as payment and sell it on ebay!
