Tareq Salahi Running For Virginia Governor

Former "Real Housewives of D.C." star and alleged White House party crasher Tareq Salahi announced he is running for governor of Virginia.

"As a Virginia native for the last 42 years, I am troubled to see how our current political figure heads continue to waste tax payer dollars during these difficult economic times!" Salahi said in a statement. "I'm a big believer in limited government, keeping taxes, regulation and litigation low."

Gossip website TMZ has a copy of the official paperwork filed by Salahi on Tuesday. You can view a PDF of the paperwork, which says Salahi intends to run in the Republican primary.

Salahi and his now-estranged wife Michaele gained notoriety last year after they allegedly crashed a state dinner hosted at the White House.

And while most politicians wait until they're already in office before being accused of a crime, Salahi is taking the opposite route: It was announced on Monday that Virginia's Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli filed a lawsuit against Salahi for allegedly scamming visitors to his vineyard.

The lawsuit alleges that Salahi and two of his business entities, Virginia Wine Tourism Inc. and Celebration Entertainment Productions LLC of not delivered on promised services to their customers and refusing to offer refunds when the touring services were not rendered.

However, even without a pending lawsuit, Salahi may not get an actual shot at replacing outgoing Gov. Bob McDonnell. While the next gubernatorial election is scheduled for Nov. 5, 2013, Salahi mistakenly filed "November 6" on his paperwork.



He's for keeping litigation low???????? :roll: Maybe now that he has no chance of squeezing $50 million out of Neal he suddenly believes in keeping litigation low. Seriously?? :?: :shock: :roll: Also, if you want to keep litigation low, maybe don't scam your customers out of their money!

QFT! He's probably looking to set up another scam to gain some money, following the lead of other equally worthless politicians. No surprise really. I actually expected something like this of him. He can't get money from Neal, so why not raise some nice crisp campaign cash? :shock:
