Jeff Perry ‘proud’ despite work on bogus degree

[ccharles000]

Republican congressional hopeful Jeff Perry said he’s “proud” of his academic record even though he was conned out of thousands of dollars by a fake college that issued him a bogus bachelor’s degree.

“I went to night school for 15 or 20 years. I’m really proud of that,” Perry (R-Sandwich) told the Herald. “It hurts a little bit that people . . . try to diminish my educational accomplishments.”

Perry, who’s running for the seat being vacated by U.S. Rep. Bill Delahunt (D-Quincy), has come under fire for receiving a degree from Columbia State University, an online diploma mill that was shut down for fraud. In a sit-down with the Herald editorial board yesterday, Perry said he pulled the bogus degree off his resume as soon as he found out the school was phony.

He later went on to receive a bachelor’s degree from Curry College and a law degree from New England School of Law.

1. He's an arrogant little idiot with a bunch of rabid supporters.

This guy has more baggage than an airport carousel. He was involved in an illegal strip-search of teenage girls when he was a cop.

Even the comments entered on the right-wing Herald's site are against him.
