Clipboardgate
  With all the high security technology at its disposal, the White House still relies on the old fashioned clipboard to check the guest list for those officially invited to State dinners.  Staffers who referred to written notes as Michaele and Tareq Salahi entered what are supposed to be among the most protected grounds in Washington on November 24 relied on an old, and outdated method,
