Clinton refused to let the FBI vet most of his appointments. Most of them refused drug testing as well.

On the other hand, my hypothetical resume - qualified IAW N/S 0989-028-5000 - is meaningless. Which is the greater injustice?
Respect is due only from peers and earned. On the 'net, no one knows you're just another @$$h0!e. See my dot.sig.

Interesting article. I wonder how she got that first job at the White House under Clinton. Was she connected to an FOB (Friend of Bill's)?

Thank God for whistleblowers like Wainwright. This investigation was long overdue.

I can tell you from personal experience it takes years of hard work, doing required research papers and then a formal thesis to get a Masters' Degree from an accredited university. There is no shortcut to academic excellence. People who claim they can do it in two or three years are kidding. It took me the full seven years, plus a granted one semester extension, to complete the requirements. I don't claim to be a Doctor but I can claim to have legitimate academic credentials. The question naturally arises: why can't government employees?

Whom ever posted the Title seems to be implying the real Dr. Laura is a fraud. It's only when you read the article that you find out it's someone else. Suspicious to say the least

scary! I wonder how this Mrs. Calahan got her job in the first place? Political spoils from someone?

These people should be prosecuted, they compromise the entire professional field with their fraud.

It's all Bush's fault - he should have check up on this as soon as he stepped into that oval office! I'm sure he must have known about this!

Whom ever posted the Title seems to be implying the real Dr. Laura is a fraud. That subtitle comes straight from the original author Paul Sperry, not the poster.

Hey, fellow Hamilton alum. I was captain of the firing squad back in the early 90s before getting my degree in alchemy. Dr. Speedy.

WOW.
Fraud by the incompetent. Who'd a thought!
And a coverup by the bureaucracy. Another huge surprise. I'm sure "national security" and Political Correctness will ensure that this crook, not only gets away with her crimes, but gets to keep all the money she stole over the last couple of years.

It's easy to expose these people, as the article describes.
Similarly, it's easy to debunk people who claim degrees from actual institutions. Call the registrar at that school and ask. They will tell you whether someone graduated or not.
It's easy, but I don't know if employers or supervisors ever do it. Same thing with a DD 214. Either in my resume or at an interview I offer to make it available; no one's wanted to see it since I got it (12 years ago).
