Maybe the Russians Created the Diploma?
[quote]Florida candidate tried to prove she’s a college graduate. The school says her diploma is fake.
The political kerfuffle around Melissa Howard began when a news site reported that the Florida state House hopeful is not a college graduate, as she claims to be. To prove the story wrong, Howard (R) reportedly flew to her proclaimed alma mater, Ohio’s Miami University, to get a copy of her college transcript and posted a picture of her smiling next to her framed diploma.
Faced with Howard’s alleged proof of her academic credentials, FLA News walked back on its story and published a correction. But the news site’s mea-culpa was only briefly in effect. In an email sent to Florida news outlets, Miami University revealed that not only did Howard not graduate from the school, as FLA News previously reported, but the diploma that she touted was fake. An email from the university’s general counsel suggested that Howard also had not been truthful about when she supposedly graduated, what degree she supposedly obtained, and what major she supposedly studied.
Miami University general counsel Robin Parker wrote in the email, which was also obtained by The Washington Post, that the diploma showed Melissa Fox (Howard’s maiden name) graduated with a bachelor’s degree in marketing; the university offers no such degree. The diploma also stated that Howard graduated in 1996, but she was not enrolled that year, Parker said; instead, she attended the university from 1990 to 1994 without graduating.
Howard’s campaign told FLA News that she was one credit short in 1994, but she completed the requirements and graduated in 1996.[/quote]

It does seem like she went thru an awful lot of trouble to "fake" graduating, especially if all that was needed was one credit.
She should have earned the credit and graduated.
Would voters have given a damn about that?
No.
But they DO care about fake crap!
