This is slightly stale news but it's always entertaining to see someone with a fake degree exposed, especially if that person is a politician. http://www.pe.com/localnews/inland/stories/PE_News_Local_S_sdegree20.2389424.html Here's here candidate statement from the official ballot: www.election.co.riverside.ca.us/voterInformation/.../bt000028.pdf DR. AMY MARIE BHUTTA OCCUPATION: Educator EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS: I'm a teacher who has lived and worked with the children and families of Lake Elsinore for over a decade. I'm proud to be one of the few people in the nation whose PhD has been certified and signed by former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell. One of my political inspirations is my Great Aunt Harriet Beecher Stowe Alas, the exposure had no effect and "Dr" Bhutta was elected to the Lake Elsinore City Council.
