   Liberal Democrats, too lazy and stupid to compete   
   scholastically.  This is the result of the present day inferior   
   California school system, once the envy of the entire free   
   world, after 40 years of Democrat control and parasitic   
   socialist union infestation.

   Felicity Huffman has at least one staunch defender in her   
   alleged role in a massive college admissions scam: David Mamet.   
      
   Federal agents arrested Huffman, 56, on Tuesday in a nationwide   
   college admissions bribery bust.   
      
   Authorities claimed that Huffman and husband William H. Macy   
   "made a purported charitable contribution of $15,000" to scam   
   mastermind William Rick Singer "to participate in the college   
   entrance exam cheating scheme on behalf of her eldest daughter.   
   Huffman later made arrangements to pursue the scheme a second   
   time, for her younger daughter, before deciding not to do so."   
      
   She was released on a $250,000 bond.   
      
   Huffman and Macy's daughter reportedly had twice the normal   
   amount of time to take the SAT, and her proctor was paid to   
   correct her answers after she completed the test.   
      
   Mamet, a longtime friend of both Macy, 69, and Huffman, wrote an   
   open letter in The Hollywood Reporter slamming the United   
   States' elite colleges for their exclusivity, calling the   
   schools a "corrupt joke."   
      
   “Harvard was once sued for restricting the admission of   
   qualified Jews; a contest currently being waged by Asians,” he   
   wrote.   
      
   “The unqualified may be accepted for many reasons, among them,   
   as Legacies, and on account of large donations made by their   
   parents," the 71-year-old acclaimed writer continued. "I do not   
   see the difference between getting a kid into school by bribing   
   the Building Committee, and by bribing someone else. But,   
   apparently, the second is against the Law. So be it."   
      
   Mamet, who is the father of "Girls" actress Zosia Mamet, also   
   detailed his history with Huffman and Macy.   
      
   “We started two theatre companies together, one of which, THE   
   ATLANTIC is still in operation in New York, after 35 years,”   
   Mamet wrote of his friendship with the "Shameless" actor.   
      
   “I’ve known Felicity Huffman for those 35 years, she was my   
   student, my colleague, worked in many of my films, and created   
   roles on stage in three of my plays. I’m crazy about them both   
   ... That a parent’s zeal for her children’s future may have   
   overcome her better judgment for a moment is not only   
   unfortunate, it is, I know we parents would agree, a universal   
   phenomenon."   
      
   He concluded, “If ever there were a use for the Texas Verdict,   
   this is it. For the uninitiated, the Texas Verdict is: ‘Not   
   Guilty, but Don’t do it Again.’”   
      
   Fuck them.  Throw their asses in jail for a couple years.
