White House party crasher 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 in 2010 after they allegedly crashed a state dinner hosted at the White House.

But in his defense he's no worse a con man than Ken Cuccinelli.
