Why Is This News?

Is there anyone out there (outside of Washington) that cares about these so-called White House party crashers? Why is this getting so much media attention? I heard a congressman on the Today show this morning say the entire thing was about ensuring the safety of the president. Was he really so much more unsafe there than he ever is? Think about it - these people weren't on the guest list, but they still went through a metal detector and were likely fully checked for weapons, so why did they pose any more danger to the president than when he makes an appearance anywhere else?

I'll tell you one thing - I'm so glad our elected officials are putting in lots of their time "investigating" this incident rather than working on a budget or health care plan. Aren't you?
