While eating dinner, just saw on Channel 1 that Yair Peretz, MK for the Shas obscurantist poverty pimps party, retired from politics today. Why? Get this: he had apparently tried to fraudulently acquire a psychology degree from "Burlington University" (never heard of, unless they mean U. of Vermont at Burlington). He went to the library, picked nine papers by outstanding students, and submitted them as his own. He got caught when one of the lecturers actually read the submitted work and wondered why the male ultra-Orthodox MK wrote in the first person singular female. (Unlike English, the Hebrew first person singular is gender-specific).
The Dutch expression "too stupid to dance for the devil" comes to mind...
