A hard-hitting MSM investigation of Chicago crony bundler Desiree Rogers?; Update: WH invokes separation of powers
Nope, just kidding.
It’s another sympathetic MSM puff piece on the Friend of Valerie Jarrett/Obama bundler-turned-White House social secretary…from the notorious lefty fashion writer Robin Givhan at the Washington Post.
Shorter version: “She’s glamorous!”
Rogers will not show up to the House hearing on Crashergate.
In an attempt to put out the security fire, the White House announced “new” policies to prevent another party-crashing fiasco. Well, not “new.” Just the same old policies that had been in place during the last administration that Rogers flippantly ditched.
As expected and predicted, Team Obama isn’t throwing senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett’s close Chicago pal under the bus. The AFP headline: “White House backs top aide over ‘gatecrash’ flap.”
One Democrat thinks she should attend the hearing, via Jonathan Tilove:
Rich Masters, a former top policy and communications adviser to Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., who now does crisis public relations for a living, said he would advise Rogers to appear at Thursday’s hearing.
“From a PR perspective, it is always advisable to be as open and honest as possible about these things,” he said. “It’s clear mistakes were made, but if she does not appear, you run the risk of you being the scapegoat.”
But at least she’ll be the best-dressed scapegoat in Washington, yes?

Update: White House invokes separation of powers to protect Rogers from testifying. The Crashergate couple won’t be accepting the invite either.

If we’re gonna have good lookin’ wimings run the country, we need Our Hostess, Ann Coulter, Michele Bachman etc.
We need Pretty wimmings wit actual brains dontcha know.
Well, our mo should take some input from this rogers outfits. Our mo might find out who is rogers fitness person to see…..
I know I am a tacky lady!

No. That beige and white thing looks like a potato sack.
AlohaGuy,
At least she does not look like a birthday cake.
L
Sounds like the Secret Service is going to take this one for the BHO team.
Glamourous? ha! That’s a laugh.
I wonder why Morgan Freeman isn’t in Odumbo’s administration? He’s marrying his Granddaughter after all. That should qualify for something.

Then they’d have to find a Czar position for Woody Allen, the only guy I’ve ever heard of that turned his ex-wife into his mother-in-law.
What the hell is she wearing???
Love 2
\
Yeah thats it, what else is there?
DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LADY….
Glamorous? That dress looks like the one Bride of Frankenstein wore.
Seriously.
For the press to not investigate this and other shortcomings is ridiculous. They are only enabling more stupid behavior.
I still say “follow the money”. Something is afoot!
No matter, her looks. To me she’s just another unqualified Chicago patronage cronie who’s bad judgement exposed a weakness to our enemies. I pray the “fix” will be enough to protect all those who work at the White House from the evil doers who are sure to probe for additional weaknesses.
Oh so much to do, makeup, lip rouge, picking out todays dress, posing for pictures, so little time left to do this job thing, this security whatever thing. Ohhhh, I do so love myself.
Disiree.
It is the empty-headed morons like this who pretend to run our government. Congratulations Obama. What a team you have here.
Glamorous?
She looks like a character from the new movie “Avatar”.
And that dress is ugly. It looks like it was put together with scraps.
But the libs think she’s gorgeous,(even though their taste is questionable) so that excuses her from not doing her job.
One of the most hilarious things that I have heard Chris Matthews say recently was this gem: “Barack and Michelle Obama. They are just cool people”. I suppose if your definition of cool is being a policy wonk who likes high taxes, then I guess that they are cool people.
Curtains from Valerie’s hood.
Hey, I’ve a few pans on the stove tonight…I can’t utilize my nogin as fast as I would like tonight…
That is one UGLY dress.
Her only qualification was being connected, like so many of their other cronies. That is why they can not get anything done correctly. Amateur
houruh, presidency.Legally bland?
She could have gotten her boss killed, and the WH is covering her backside.
Irony abounds.
I expected no less. In typical white house/Obama fashion, it’s “Circle the Wagons” time. For someone who is invoking “separation of powers” in order to protect his friends, I would suggest that he might focus a little more attention on that executive-legislative separation. Since Obama and Pelosi are joined at the hip, an operation of sorts would seem in order.
One of the many Chicago Style Political traditions is that people who screw up sometimes end up missing or dead. Should Ms. Rogers start watching her back. Maybe she’s in need of some help from the witness protection people?
If the Obama Administration does not want to have a complete investigation of how their security was breached to prevent their boss from potentially getting hmself shot or blown-up, that is their choice.
Not smart…..
The only thing missing was the curtain rod resting on hers houlders LOL Just sayin
A ’scapegoat’ is someone or something that takes on the blame of others (like the two goats at Yom Kippur).
This person is entirely to blame. A ’scapegoat’ is what they’re trying to do to the Secret Service.
The blame rests completely on her.
I don’t recall the separation of powers clause protecting Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld etc., from Congressional Dem persecution.
Isn’t the president accountable to Congress? After all, it’s not about making sure Barack Obama is safe, it’s about making sure the president is safe. Something our TOTUS just can’t seem to grasp. The office and the man are two separate things. The country can’t afford to have the WH run like a Chicago ward office.

Exactly, they don’t seem to be acknowledging how serious this is. I didn’t vote for Obama, but I’m still thankful that the “party crashers” were just that; they didn’t mean the President, his family, or anyone else any harm. If something worse than a breech of security protocol had happened, heads would already be rolling.
I finally found something positive about this Administration. They are such a joke, I constantly find myself laughing out loud.
Separation of powers invoked because the Social Secretary screwed up? Ahahahahaha…
Hey, there might be some vital national security information at stake here. Unlike, for example, the KSM trial.
Hahaha. They’re transparent all right – even if not forthcoming…
Yea, the speech on Afghanistan was a real knee-slapper too.
Obama to the Taliban:
Hey, hang out, lay low until after July 2011.
Ahahahahaha
Separation of powers….for the event planner? Oh brother. What a joke.

Should that even apply to the freaking Social Secretary (or whatever her title is)? Anyhow, I guess technically it does, or they couldn’t invoke it.
It pays to be in the inner circle where you are privy to all the secrets and foibles of the front men like Obama.
The boy king was placed in danger, though these two clowns meant no harm, just by the fact that they gained entry and access to him.
Considering the boy king’s massive narcissism, had it been anyone other than this insider, it would have been “off with her head!”
Does the Obama Administration want to look like Clowns in the public’s eyes?
That would take 100’s of yards of material.
Last night I-forget-who said that social secretaries in previous administrations stood with the guards at state dinners checking off names. Rogers put herself on the list and attended the event as a guest.
Can’t actually expect her to do her job or anything, can we? She’s SPECIAL!
update & on topic–did anyone else see Gibbs get as upset over the subject as he was accusing the questioner of?
I think I have reasonably sophisticated taste in fashion but that dress just blows!
As far as I’m concerned, she’s at fault for the slip-up because she didn’t keep the “stiff” experienced staff around.
Her goal is to relax standards.
Then the Secret Service gets takes the blame.
Yep. He’s an #ss. Does not look good to be talking down to a woman, especially a black woman. She was no more persistent than most of those reporters.
They were white and “stiff”. Can’t have that anymore.
Does anyone else see the resemblance?

Someone with Photoshop could do a nice picture.
beachmom:
You mean the Avatar character resembles Desiree?
Try going to LOL cats for the look-alike feature.
She is just like her boss: All Show, No go!
