No Show for Salahi Photos
People simply aren’t crashing the gates for signed photos of the Salahis who gained notoriety for crashing a White House state dinner for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Just 15 autographed photos from among 200 signed by Michaele and Tareq Salahi have been purchased in the past month from eBay, and that too only after the price was slashed from $100 to $49. The Salahis signed the photos to help recoup a debt owed to a public relations firm. According to a description on eBay, “Brotman-Winter-Fried Communications, the Washington, DC Public Relations firm to whom the Salahis owe fees in excess of $20,000 for public relations services on behalf of the 2008 Americas Polo Cup were awarded a court judgment in the amount of $15,000 on June 3, 2010. As the Salahis have no assets through which to repay the debt, the couple signed 200 copies of the photograph taken as they arrived at the White House on November 24, 2009 to be auctioned off through eBay.” |
