   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.

   Hopefully there’s a chapter on legal trouble!   
      
   One of the wealthy moms accused in the college admissions   
   bribery scam is a Beverly Hills-based marketing CEO who once   
   penned a book called, “The Modern Girl’s Guide to Sticky   
   Situations.”   
      
   Jane Buckingham, 50 — who runs the boutique marketing firm   
   Trendra — allegedly agreed to make a $50,000 “charitable   
   donation” in exchange for having a professional take the ACT for   
   her son in July 2018, according to the criminal complaint.   
      
   But before she was busted in the cheating scam the former   
   Cosmopolitan magazine contributor wrote a 2010 book, which bills   
   itself as, “a handbook for surviving headaches, pickles, jams,   
   and everyday emergencies,” according to the Amazon.com.   
      
   “Buckingham dispenses savvy solutions to life’s myriad little   
   annoyances with warmth, great wit, and impeccable wisdom,” the   
   book description notes.   
      
   The Horace Mann and Duke grad may now need some of her own   
   advice.   
      
   The marketing big wig and self help guru is facing federal   
   charges for her role in the scheme, which was laid out in court   
   papers in which she made it clear she thought getting her son   
   into college was on the same level as peace in the Middle East.   
      
   “I know this is craziness, I know it is,” she told alleged plot   
   organizer William Singer according to a conversation detailed in   
   court papers. “And then I need you to get him into USC, and then   
   I need you to cure cancer and [make peace] in the Middle East.”   
      
   In a criminal complaint, authorities say she schemed with Singer   
   to hire a test taker from Florida.   
      
   Singer, identified in papers as CW-1, tells Buckingham, “Okay,   
   so your donation is gonna be 50” in exchange for having the   
   professional take the test.   
      
   “Okay,” she replies.   
      
   Five days before the test taker was scheduled to cheat for her   
   son, the adviser called to request a handwriting sample from her   
   son, so he could fake it.   
      
   Buckingham replies, “Yes. He has not great writing.”   
      
   She later sent the adviser an emailed sample of her son’s   
   chicken scratch and a note reading, “good luck with this.”   
      
   Her son, who is not named in the criminal complaint, later   
   received a score of 35 on the test. It wasn’t clear where he   
   went to college.   
      
   Buckingham later told the adviser she would “probably like to do   
   the same thing with [my daughter].”   
      
   In addition to being an executive, Buckingham is a Southern   
   California socialite who last Saturday co-hosted a fundraiser   
   for Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who is running for president. Other   
   hosts included comedian Will Ferrell and TV producer Shonda   
   Rhimes.   
      
   Buckingham did not return calls for comment.
