Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH) won’t leave all the bamboozlement to Kaloogian?

A new elections complaints alleges (and pretty credibly) she said she had a degree she didn’t; earlier one tagged her for bogus ‘endorsement’ by Ohio Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH).

Schmidt’s response: Okay, maybe she never got the degree. But she took enough classes to get it.

The backstory here is that these elections complaints grow out of an inter-wingnut smackdown. The complainant is the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes, an outfit founded by Schmidt’s past primary opponent Tom Brinkman.
