Michaele Salahi: A Career Con-Artist

White House state dinner crasher Michaele Salahi is apparently old pro (or at least an old cheap hack who needs to be locked up) at whatever it is she does.

According to a source, the Real Housewives of D.C. fraud once tried to fake being a cheerleader for the NFL's Washington Redskins ... for reasons unknown.

A former cheerleader who worked with the poser at Nordstroms in McClean, Va., from 1989-1994, was shocked to see her at a 2005 Redskins Cheerleader Alumni reunion. The source says she had no idea Michaele Salahi was a cheerleader.

That's because she wasn't. Team officials have no record proving her claims of being on the squad. Yet she lied her way into the 2005 reunion anyway.

Not quite as serious as somehow posing as a socialite, getting past security and crashing a state dinner at the White House, but equally puzzling.

Michaele Salahi met the President of the United States last week. Pretty soon, we imagine she will be meeting with members of the United States Secret Service.

Michaele and her husband, fellow state dinner crasher Tareq Salahi, had a private box at FedEx Field, where the team plays, and invited some of the real cheerleaders back to the their seats to hang out after the halftime performance.

“It became apparent she was trying to fake her way into looking like a Redskins cheerleader, to position herself as a social gem in society," the source says.

“Micahele is a con artist on every level.”

One who might consider seeing a shrink. Wonder if Bravo will rename its new show The Mentally Unstable, Pathetic Frauds Who Pose as Rich Housewives of D.C.
