(BlackPress. org) - Desiree Rogers, the disgraced former White House social secretary, has put out the memo that she is hoping to extend her 15 minutes of fame.

That's not a typo. Rogers, who was forced to leave her swanky post after she allowed as many as three gatecrashers to enter President Obama's first State Dinner and take photos with high-profile political superstars,  just doesn't seem to get it.

First, Rogers failed at the most basic thing of her job: Maintain credibility and ensure that only credentialed people are allowed in. For this woman to actually take a seat at a table as if she was a GUEST just shows her BLATANT disrepect for the Obama Administration, for the Public Relations profession and for the security of the White House.

That it was easier to gain access to that event than a Lady GaGa concert shows exactly why Rogers should do herself and the everyone in media industry a favor and move on to another profession.

She's already proven that she can't be taken seriously. She's already proven that she's not a gatekeeper, not a PR pro and not the person who should land at the top of anyone's list for a job that will involve maintaining the security of credentialed and invitation-only events!

Rogers says she "not crying for myself" over losing what amounts to the most important job of her career. To be frank, where can she go from here? The White House is the pinnacle of everything American. And what corporation is going to trust the integrity and safety of their CEO and other top brass to someone like Rogers.

To add insult to injury, Rogers attended the White House Correspondence Dinner as a guest of the Huffington Post to show that she is more interested getting attention than doing her job.
