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.

Felicity Huffman has at least one staunch defender in her 
alleged role in a massive college admissions scam: David Mamet.

Federal agents arrested Huffman, 56, on Tuesday in a nationwide 
college admissions bribery bust.

Authorities claimed that Huffman and husband William H. Macy 
"made a purported charitable contribution of $15,000" to scam 
mastermind William Rick Singer "to participate in the college 
entrance exam cheating scheme on behalf of her eldest daughter. 
Huffman later made arrangements to pursue the scheme a second 
time, for her younger daughter, before deciding not to do so."

She was released on a $250,000 bond.

Huffman and Macy's daughter reportedly had twice the normal 
amount of time to take the SAT, and her proctor was paid to 
correct her answers after she completed the test.

Mamet, a longtime friend of both Macy, 69, and Huffman, wrote an 
open letter in The Hollywood Reporter slamming the United 
States' elite colleges for their exclusivity, calling the 
schools a "corrupt joke."

“Harvard was once sued for restricting the admission of 
qualified Jews; a contest currently being waged by Asians,” he 
wrote.

“The unqualified may be accepted for many reasons, among them, 
as Legacies, and on account of large donations made by their 
parents," the 71-year-old acclaimed writer continued. "I do not 
see the difference between getting a kid into school by bribing 
the Building Committee, and by bribing someone else. But, 
apparently, the second is against the Law. So be it."

Mamet, who is the father of "Girls" actress Zosia Mamet, also 
detailed his history with Huffman and Macy.

“We started two theatre companies together, one of which, THE 
ATLANTIC is still in operation in New York, after 35 years,” 
Mamet wrote of his friendship with the "Shameless" actor.

“I’ve known Felicity Huffman for those 35 years, she was my 
student, my colleague, worked in many of my films, and created 
roles on stage in three of my plays. I’m crazy about them both 
... That a parent’s zeal for her children’s future may have 
overcome her better judgment for a moment is not only 
unfortunate, it is, I know we parents would agree, a universal 
phenomenon."

He concluded, “If ever there were a use for the Texas Verdict, 
this is it. For the uninitiated, the Texas Verdict is: ‘Not 
Guilty, but Don’t do it Again.’”

Fuck them.  Throw their asses in jail for a couple years.
