The NY times yesterday reported in detail on the style breaches that the Salahis’ commited. Here are some funny lines at the end of the article.
It doesn’t seem to matter that the couple were never a threat. Nor does it seem to matter that security at the next state dinner will obviously be so tight that anyone who receives an invitation ought to leave the moment it arrives in the mail, because they’re going to have their IDs checked and retinas scanned for a good long time. Nor does it matter that the Salahis are now struggling with a fate so rich with irony it seems like something O. Henry scripted: A couple besotted with fame and media attention finally wins both, but by doing so lands in so much trouble that when every TV show in the country begs them to come on the air and blab, they have to say no. O.K., they accept one, the “Today” show. But that’s it. To every other invitation—yes, authentic invitations—they must decline. Seriously, Washington, think about how much that has to hurt the Salahis. Now, is that not punishment enough?
