Fake Diplomas Used By Government Workers

The Ruling Party has made a lot of noice about “Values.” It’s worked for them rather well. But the trouble with any schtick is that there’s a point where it won’t work anymore. Sometimes people are tired of it, other times it’s because it’s shown to be fraudulent. I think the latter is what’s been happening in Washington, lately. The whole business about traditional and family values is like a movie set: all front and no substance. Eventually, a wind comes along and blows down the whole damn' thing.

At least 135 federal employees, including a White House staff member and National Security Agency employees, bought bogus online college degrees from a diploma mill, a lawyer in the case against the mill operators said.

Some of those who paid thousands of dollars for phony diplomas include a senior State Department employee in Kuwait and a Department of Justice employee in Spokane, defense lawyer Peter S. Schweda said Wednesday.
