News exec: State Dinner crashers shopping interview

[gristy]

NEW YORK — A television executive says the couple who crashed President Barack Obama's first state dinner is offering to talk to broadcast networks about it for a payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the network does not publicly discuss bookings, told The Associated Press that representatives for Michaele and Tareq Salahi contacted networks to urge them to "get their bids in" for an interview. The executive says the Virginia couple was looking for a payment in the mid-six figures range.

The couple's success in getting into the state dinner Tuesday without an invitation embarrassed the White House and Secret Service.

2. I know this became news because of what it represents.. but isn't it strange how often it is getting

repeated? It has been on everything all weekend long. I know, for the most part people in places like DU don't pay much attention, other than noting what happened, so why does the media think this will get them more ad revenue. I just want to turn off the radio as soon as I hear another story on it..

3. Sounds almost like extortion

Send these morons off to jail
