Elayne Boosler: Getting Into The White House
Elayne Boosler is just a stand-up comedian, but she makes a good point. She’s been to the White House a few times, even at the personal request of the president at the time. Even with those kinds of creds, she had to go through a dozen levels of security, up to and including everything except a full body cavity search, to make it past the main gate. Her point is that it’s more than just the mother of all fuck-ups that the Salahis made it into a state dinner without an invitation, it suggests that there was a deliberate breach of security, perhaps by someone fairly high up the food chain.
I love a good conspiracy theory. On the other hand, I wonder why the righties haven’t jumped on this one with both feet. Even to me, this incident suggests a level of incompetence in the general neighborhood of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue that is more than a little worrisome. How are you going to make the world safe for democracy if you can’t even keep the president safe from a Washington Redskins pom-pom princess?
