This chick is publically proud of claiming descent from Marie Laveau, the infamous Voodoo priestess of New Orleans.
Can you believe it?!

Isikoff also reports the Obama administration is putting all blame on the Secret Service and is dismissing any inquiries as to the responsibilities that night of Desiree Rogers: Not smart.

Rogers thinks she’s different? So does her boss. And may he be as fired as quickly as she will be.

Let's see. My grandfather's first cousin was John Dillinger's wife.
Not that anybody is proud of that (besides, she was married 5 times anyway), but it's certainly more praiseworthy than being a descendant of Madame Debo.
Uh, John is credited by some with the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago ~ which clearly didn't go far enough.

"We don't feel we have a need for that anymore." Rogers's explanation, according to Hargraves: "In these economic times, I don't think we're going to have very many lavish expensive dinners. It wouldn't look very good."Because they're too busy with the weekly Wednesday night soirees...

This is what Desiree wore to the dinner, rather than check invitees at the door. Reminds me of the time I put on my winter parka and I had some underwear from the laundry stuck to the velcro.

The Wall Street Journal did its share of slobbering over Rogers in April:
Desirée Glapion Rogers is the descendant of a Creole voodoo priestess named Marie Laveau Glapion. The first time I meet her, she welcomes me into her East Wing laira rhythm and blues tune plays on a white iPod, a potted white orchid perches between two windows, fresh flowers sit on a heavy wooden desk. This is a woman who never sees a wilted bloom. The 49-year-old turns on just enough Southern charm to camouflage an aura of self-assuredness typically.....

It is definitely "alien", and distastefully so.
Gad!
Gaack! (hairball).

It looks like it could have one of those long underwear flaps in the caboose.

One reason for scaling back the responsibilities and position of a guest-list security evaluator, is when you know you’ll be inviting guests who can’t pass a White House security check. It reads that supervisory functions were overseen by a loyalist, and that blame was kicked down to the Secret Service instead.
To: kristinn
Why do you keep using the term "throw under the bus" in regards to this situation? Doesn't she DESERVE to be canned? If so, the term "throw under the bus" does not apply.
throw under the bus: to sacrifice some other person, usually one who is undeserving or at least vulnerable, to make personal gain.
One is thrown under the bus when they are made the scapegoat or blamed for something that wasn't their responsibility in the first place. A coverup for your mistake.
Clearly this WAS her mistake. It would appear that Obama is throwing the Secret Service "under the bus". It's not possible for him to throw her "under the bus" in these circumstances.

This is a cheap sheer curtain draped over an apron with knee pads.
Just awful. No mirrors in the White House?
