Burner should inject truth into campaign statements

In the Seattle Times article “Burner’s exaggeration is a matter of degree” Oct. 23, she makes the statement, “This should be more than people playing stupid semantic gotcha games.”

Come on Darci! You’re the one who said “I loved economics so much that I got a degree in it from Harvard.”

The fact is you’re the one who made a false statement, a deliberate attempt at word games to make it appear to voters that your degree is in economics when it is in computer science. While I applaud the fact that you earned a degree in computer science from Harvard, it doesn’t give you the right to deliberately deceive voters by embellishing your resume. You need to come clean and apologize for your false statement. Before you represent us in Congress you need to go back to school and take a class in ethics.
