Well, trading upon the names of charities just to dupe people into spending big $$ for tickets is no joke.

On the contrary, it is despicable.

Maybe next time those charities and others will think twice or more before associating with Mr. Cromwell or the Salahis, the latter under investigation by the Commonwealth of Virginia for their questionable “charitable” fundraising.

An old saying that still rings true: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”

They sold tickets and there was a cash bar. Howard Cromwell is just another social climbing, celebrity wanna be who is riding on the shady coat tails of the infamous White House crashing duo. The Salahis have had their own share of charity scandals. The fact that the press and friends were comp is very telling of their motives of self-promotion. They could give a crap about charities but saying it is for charity makes them look like DC’s most fabulous.
