Memo: WH Shares Party Crash Blame

Heads continue to roll over the State Dinner party-crasher fiasco. Though White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs initially placed the blame on the Secret Service for the improper admission of ambitious D.C. socialites Tareq and Michaele Salahi to the event, a new memo suggests the White House shares blame. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina says an investigation's "preliminary findings" suggest that, though the Secret Service "failed" at their job, the White House "did not do everything we could have done to assist the United States Secret Service." Messina outlines a new protocol for official White House events, including requiring White House staffers to be physically stationed at Secret Service checkpoints and to confirm every guest's presence on the guest list.
