One of my Twitter followers steered me to an interview that White House social Secretary Desriee Rogers gave June of this year to BizBash. Read this part of the report: “When asked what she does with event crashers, Rogers replied (to much laughter), that she’s begun adding an extra table, row, or bench to every event she produces, as each time she found extra people would show up in hopes of gaining entrance. “Lots of people just come anyways, they won’t take no for an answer,” she said. “Finally I just said, ‘Alright, come on in, it’s no use kicking you out.‘”

Does anyone wonder why the WH did not send her up to Congress? Well, I wonder no more.

Rush Limbaugh was (yet again) right on the money when he said on his show a few days ago that Rogers likely was the one who made sure the crashers came in this time too.

UPDATE: I ran the quote on Google, and saw a blog or two that have already her words, one writing that her words about adding tables were said “joking.” The BizBash text, however, does not appear to me as a joke. But, I didnt hear audio of that interview, so I dont know if it’s a “smoking gun,” or if something that should make me laugh.

Update II: In a story published this past Friday, BizBash re-published its own June report quoting Rogers’ line about the crashers, but the current BizBash report mentions the June line only in a passing manner; it’s not the thesis of its report. O, and by the way… The Friday report does not write that Rogers’ comments about being lenient to crashers was said as a joke.
