   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.

   William H. Macy may be starting to regret some of his past   
   comments on giving his and Felicity Huffman's daughters a "leg   
   up" in Hollywood, in light of the recent college admissions   
   cheating scandal.   
      
   Huffman was among 50 people charged in a college admissions   
   cheating scam earlier this week for allegedly paying money to   
   help get the couple's eldest daughter -- 18-year-old Sofia --   
   into an elite college. She was arrested without incident on   
   Tuesday, appeared in court a few hours later on charges of   
   conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud   
   and was released on a $250,000 bond.   
      
   Back in 2004, Macy spoke to ET about the benefits of nepotism in   
   Hollywood at a junket for his film Cellular. "One can help your   
   children in this business, and the nepotism works, and I have no   
   problems with it," he said of potentially helping his daughters   
   to succeed in the business if they ended up choosing that career   
   path. "If I can give them a leg up, I absolutely would. It's a   
   great way to make a living. It really is."   
      
   Huffman has deleted her social media accounts in the wake of the   
   scandal, and is next due in court in Boston on March 29.   
   However, fans of the couple's career have been quick to point   
   out art imitating life -- including an SAT scam on Macy's Emmy-   
   winning show, Shameless, and a Desperate Housewives storyline in   
   which Huffman's character, Lynette, offered to pay a $15,000   
   "donation" to get her twin sons into a prestigious private   
   school.   
      
   In the case of their real-life scandal, court documents claim   
   that after Huffman made a charitable donation of $15,000 to Key   
   Worldwide Foundation (KWF), Sofia was given extra time to take   
   the SAT, and received a score of 1420, up approximately 400   
   points after the proctor corrected her answers.   
      
   In a February interview with Men’s Journal, Macy, 69, said that   
   the best advice he’d ever received was to “never lie.”   
      
   “It’s the cheapest way to go. Lies cost you a lot, and they’re   
   never worth what they cost,” he explained.   
      
   The actor also spoke out against lying when talking politics   
   with ET at the Bobby premiere in 2006. "There's a kind of person   
   who thinks it's alright to lie a little bit for a greater good,   
   but people who lie a little bit for a greater good are called   
   liars and that's the end of it," he explained.

   House star Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli have
