Crash a State Dinner and Get 2 Wikipedia Entries

Tareq and Michaele Salahi not only managed to weave their way into photos with the most prominent of American political luminaries and snag some first-class grub, they also have accomplished something which most of us never have: two Wikipedia entries in a week. (However, there is a debate on Wikipedia to merge the two Salahi entries into one.)

Of Mr. Salahi we read: Tareq is the son of Israeli-born Palestinian parents, Dirgham & Corinne Salahi. Tareq is a graduate of the University of California, Davis. He is an accomplished polo player and, prior to a bitter family fued that bankrupted the operation, was the CEO & owner of Oasis Winery.”

In Mrs Salahi entry we discover that she “Michaele Salahi is a former model and Washington Redskins cheerleader who has been featured in numerous television spots, was the face of Virginia.org’s Wine Getaways ad campaign, and has been featured in O, Gourmet, Conde Nast Traveller, Home & Garden, The New Yorker, Vogue, Elle, Victoria’s Secret amongst others.”

Wikipedia also mentions a long list of notable individuals who attended their wedding and says that the Salahis are no strangers to controversy.
