Seeking Celebrity?

God knows we’ve all crashed a party before, but the Salahis went way too far. Lying to get into a White House dinner? Not only did they compromise national security by pulling this stunt, they also displayed incredibly bad manners.

It is not reality TV that is the problem here; it is the behavior of people who will do anything in the quest for celebrity while compromising their integrity; that is the issue. Celebrity based on outrageous behavior is fleeting, while a person’s recognition for good character is enduring. Sometimes we only get one chance to make a good impression.

AGREED! (And I've never crashed a party before. If I wasn't invited, there was probably a reason and I don't want to cause drama).

Couldn't have been said any better. As a fan of the original Housewives series I'm very disappointed to see the downhill spiral its taking, from Jersey, to Atlanta, to what's happening with the OC franchise.

I agree wholeheartedly. One thing is crashing a house party...another is crashing the President's home. Once integrity is built, it must be protected. Only we can do that...

Bravo, Countess. We know these poor folks who seek attention (of any kind) will do anything to get it. With you to speak specifically on the subject of this issue and other, we may have a toe-hold on civility. Well done, well articulated, well constructed and well thought out. A+
