The fact that your lumping all four items into one “complaint” indicates that your criticism isn’t worth dealing with at a detail level.

And if it was “facially ridiculous,” I would have lost 4-0, not 3-1.

Only one of the four could be thrown out on the grounds you mentioned.

As for the Schmidt resume thing, I’ll be overly generous and match her teaching cert vs. masters degree (I have a spouse who is working on it, and I’ll tell you that she has to do additional work to get certification over and above what it takes to get the Masters degree, so you’ll have to excuse me if I’m not impressed with the hubbub) with McEwen’s serial lying about regular appears on GMA, Today, LKL and Crossfire, when he hasn’t seen the inside of those studios in 13 years, and call it even.

I understand your disappointment over the results…but your complaint was facially ridiculous. I’ve said elsewhere that there are certainly things about McEwen that provide fodder for criticism, but you seem to be intent on exagerrating and distorting the valid criticisms to the point that they become ridiculous… remainder of paragraph deleted on grounds of inappropriate analogies.

Your complaint was doomed…and not because of some sort of conspiracy against you. You are upset that they wouldn’t take your word under oath about what others said to you….that is textbook impermissable hearsay…a bedrock rule of evidence. I’m sure you’ve seen at least a couple episodes of Law & Order at some point in time…so you have to know about the hearsay requirements. The OEC simply is NOT allowed to take your testimony into consideration in that case.

Also, at least admit that Schmidt screwed up and fibbed on her resume instead of making excuses for her. I certainly don’t expect you to crusade against Schmidt over the issue…but at least don’t make lame excuses for her if you DO respond to it. Jean didn’t know the difference between obtaining a BA and getting a teaching cert? C’mon…anyone who was graduated from a program knows darn well what they got.

From experience, I can tell you that the confusion between teaching cert and degree is not unusual.

It doesn’t exactly rise to the level of lying about currently and frequently being on TV shows where someone hasn’t appeared for probably 13 years. By that standard, I’m a TV star if I appeared on Uncle Al as a kid.

The problem is that I have a life and didn’t devote the thousands of dollars and dozens of hours necessary to nailing things down by OEC standards.

….is that BizzyBlogger can now return to getting a life.

ADDED: BizzyBlog has the details of his complaint which failed.

Hang in there Bizster… after all there will alway […]
