No Degree? No Job!

Iran's Interior Minister got the boot after admitting that his honorary degree from Oxford University was fake. He previously stated that his degree was issued for his "managerial and executive experience and for submitting a thesis to Oxford University via a person who had opened an affiliate office in Tehran in English language affairs".  Via 'a person'?! Perhaps he should have claimed the degree was from a slightly less prestigious University to make it more credible. Or better yet, wait until he actually earned one...no wait, this is a politician we're talking about.
