Party Crashing with the President, Car Crashing with Tiger

I was all set to blog about Tiger Woods. There was so much going on with that story. First, the fact that I had heard that he and his wife were fighting over affairs he supposedly had two hours before news of the crash broke (he was leaving his house after 2 a.m.)

They say most accidents occur within a few miles of your house, but this was ridiculous.

The best part was his wife using a golf club to get him out of the vehicle. I could see him coming out of his daze to yell "Not my good sand wedge!!!"

If he was having affairs, ya think maybe that golf club was used to smash his window, not to rescue him? That could've caused the accident. We'll see when the reports come out. The 911 call is coming out tomorrow.

I loved watching the newscasters say the weirdest things to explain who Tiger Woods was. I can't remember them now, but the Union-Tribune in their headline wrote "golf pro Tiger Woods."

Isn't Tiger Woods kind of like Madonna, Michael Jackson, or Michael Jordan? When they get in an accident, you don't need to explain who they are.

Two of my friends sent emails, saying I had to comment on the "party crashers" at the White House dinner.

Apparently the guy is trying to get onto a reality show. I wonder if Richard Henne is somewhere screaming "Why didn't I think of that? A stupid helium balloon over an airport instead of the White House!!!"

Knowing his idiotic mind, he would've designed a balloon and tried to float into the White House garden, only to be shot down for being in restricted air space.

So, let's review reality show contestants. Amorosa, Jon and Kate, three of the biggest dopes around.

That guy that killed his wife and himself, after that VH1 reality show, and now this. You wonder when the reality show attempts will end.

Remember, it was that local guy in Encinitas that first did the "marry a millionaire" reality show, and there were doubts as to whether he had millions.

He had a toilet in his front lawn. And a marriage that lasted a week.

We had our own local party crasher that had met a President before this couple. Dion Rich, who I interviewed for the Reader years and years ago.

He's a Point Loma resident who had crashed 20 straight Super Bowls, even appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated carrying Cowboy coach Tom Landry off the field.

He once crashed an event and had his photo taken with President Clinton. That also got him a five hour visit with the Secret Service, who laughed about it afterwards.

They aren't laughing about this latest incident, and charges might be pending (apparently, lying to the Secret Service is considered illegal).

What I always wonder with stories like this...will the first Secret Service agent that let the couple in be fired? They should be.

It's one thing if a person climbed through a window. It's another if you just walk up and can wear a tuxedo and talk your way into an event.

Rich always said that you can act like you belong and dress nice, and people won't bug you. I think it helps that he's a senior citizen.

I think security is more worried about the metal detectors. So many things set them off, that when a couple like this comes up, it's the least of their concerns.

The procedure for this event seemed like it would be a tough nut to crack. This wasn't some party at a swanky pad in Rancho Santa Fe, that you could slip into and meet the First Lady.

A week before the event, an engraved invitation was sent from the White House. Invitees needed to RSVP to a telephone line, leaving their name, Social Security number, and birthday. All this for background checks.

You also needed to leave the make, model, and license plate number of the vehicle you'd be driving.

Their vehicle was turned away, so they walked up (with a film crew catching it all).

I remember signing up for a tour of the White House a few years ago. And I was amazed at how easy it was. Although, we only saw a few small areas with antique furnture and paintings of various first ladies. The White House likes portraits.

Now, why didn't this couple just have a portrait done? They could've tried to hang it up on the White House wall. That would've been cool.

President Obama met with that racist guy from Harvard, and the cop that arrested him. They laughed about the incident over a few beers.

Yet, I hadn't heard about him inviting any Special Olympic athletes to the White House after saying some insenstive things regarding his poor bowling skills.

Maybe this couple will be invited back for a beer with Obama. And they can film it all for the next reality show --

Beers with Obama.
