But now it has been revealed that scores of Harvard students are suspected of cheating on a single class. And the course's title? An Introduction to Congress.

That probe has now found some 125 of the course's final papers were suspicious and has begun contacting students involved.

Possible punishments range from being suspended for a year to an official warning. The class was taken by only 250 students meaning a staggering half are now suspected of cheating.

TVNL Comment: Where are future members of Congress supposed to learn to cheat and lie? The only interesting thing about this story is that Harvard does not have a course entitles "Congressional Cheating 101."
