   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.

   Golfer Phil Mickelson says he got suckered into hiring William   
   “Rick” Singer to help out with his kids’ college admission   
   process, but insists there was no illegal activity involved.   
      
   “Our kids would disown us if we ever tried to interfere,”   
   tweeted Mickelson on Thursday.   
      
   The PGA legend and five-time major winner claimed his family —   
   “along with thousands of others” — used Singer’s college   
   counseling company The Key to help guide them through the   
   admission process.   
      
   Mickelson has three children, ages 15 to 19. His oldest   
   daughter, Amanda, currently attends Brown University.   
      
   Mickelson on Thursday claimed he had no idea that Singer was   
   allegedly laundering money and committing mail fraud for   
   Hollywood celebrities — including actresses Lori Loughlin and   
   Felicity Huffman — while working with him.   
      
   “We are shocked by the revelations of these events,” the 48-year-   
   old said of the bribery scandal. “Obviously, we were not part of   
   this fraud.”   
      
   Mickelson’s Twitter statement came Thursday, shortly after he   
   competed in the opening round of The Players Championship in   
   Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Afterwards, he spoke to reporters   
   about his relationship with Singer, whom he met through   
   acquaintances.   
      
   “He was highly recommended by numerous friends that checked out,   
   so we ended up using him,” Mickelson said. “Where he and his   
   company were helpful was helping our kids, who have such   
   different personalities, to find the best place for them. And   
   then knowing going in what you need to do academically, score-   
   wise, to be able to get there.”   
      
   Mickelson told reporters that he never even thought about   
   engaging in any criminal activity while working with Singer.   
      
   “Our kids….schools are like fighting to get them,” Mickelson   
   explained. “And I say that as a proud dad. Their grades and   
   their outside activities, and their worldly views on things have   
   colleges recruiting them.”   
      
   Reiterating what he wrote on Twitter, Mickelson said: “We’re not   
   a part of this. Most every family that has used the company is   
   not a part of it. So that’s why I think we’re all surprised.”
