National Park Service Issues Permit for Tareq and Michaele Salahi’s America’s Cup of Polo

I called the National Park Service today, and low and behold they have granted a permit for the Salahi’s to use the West Potomac Park area for their America’s Cup of Polo next weekend. The permit was granted yesterday for use of the area on Saturday, June 12th. So it looks like the event will happen, which is unbelievable to me and many Washingtonians.

Their publicist and attorney have resigned. They may be in breach of their contract with NBC Universal for Real Housewives of DC. They are being investigated by both the State of Virginia and the Department of Agriculture. They are threatening legal action against a young DC reporter, who “trespassed” on their property. Where is karma?? When will there be consequences for these two out-of-control individuals?

Tareq Salahi

It will be interesting to see if Bravo TV cameras will be at this year’s match like they were last year for the filming of “Real Housewives of DC”.

    Well, isn’t this all just curious as hell.

    I wonder if the upstanding couple will stay in a travel trailer on the site as they did overnight at the Capital Polo Grounds outside of Poolesville in May of 2009, and then pleaded with a local vendor to bring them fuel to continue to run the trailer’s generator. Got to work on that hair, don’t you know.

    Works for me.

    After all, they do seem like the ultimate example of trailer trash.

    Just my opinion.

  • [...] misleading. Is the event “on the National Mall?” No. It’s scheduled for West Potomac Park. Is India participating?  No. The Indian Government pulled out after the Salahis crashed that [...]

  • What could the Salahis have put up as collateral for the $3 million bond required by the Park Service, and what company was reckless enough to issue a bond for this event? We will probably find out when NPS makes a claim to pay for restoration of the turf at West Potomac Park.
