A GOP challenger to Rep. Alan Mohollan (D-WV) has come under scrutiny after accusations he falsely claimed to be a veteran of the first Gulf war. Republican candidate Chris Wakim (right) has also been questioned about the type of graduate degree he received from Harvard University, ROLL CALL is reporting today.

Wakim currently serves as a member of the House of Delegates in West Virginia.

He has claimed to be a veteran of the first Gulf War, honorably discharged for injuries sustained "in the line of duty." However, the Delegate was actually stationed at Fort Devens in Massachusetts from 1988 to 1991, the period encompassing the war.

Waskim has also been questioned about his claim of earning a “Masters Degree in Public Policy from Harvard.” Wakim did not attend Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, the only school at Harvard that awards such a degree. ROLL CALL reports he “graduated from the Harvard Extension School, and he received a Masters in Liberal Arts.” Harvard Extension School has open enrollment, meaning everyone is accepted for courses. The school is not a part of Harvard University, although the two schools are affiliated.

Well he did record some great grades and who wouldn't at an on line college when you have hours and all kinds of help to find the right answers. He did all this while in the service. He sure had a full slate. Is his type of degree anything like what my grandpa got from Sears and Roebucks.
At least he'll have help raising money from some of todays greatest lier's. First lady Laura Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Speaker Dennis Hastert and Rep. Roy Blunt. Watch your wallets and your daughters people, this gang is dangerous.
I hope these fools get a photo with the guest because each one of them will soon be long gone and I hope never forgotten.
