Tareq Salahi, whose age is listed in various places as being between 39-41, grew up helping his Israeli immigrant father build the family's modest Fauquier County, Va., winery into a million-dollar business, while at the same time turning himself into a world-class polo player and playboy.

Michaele Salahi, 44 and whose maiden name is Holt, married Tareq in 2003 in a lavish ceremony attended by 28 bridesmaids and, according to a video posted on YouTube and her Facebook page, enjoyed a reception prepared by 46 chefs hosted in a 36,000 square-foot tent,

Remember when Clinton dropped the nuclear football? Wonder if Obama is keeping tabs on it.

And what was the carbon footprint of that tent? They had portable heating elements brought in, because it’s cold in Washington this time of year. You have a beautiful mansion with a beautiful state dining room, and you pitch a tent in the backyard?
