Decision 2010: More Padded Teaching Experience Accusations

Illinois Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Kirk is being accused of puffing up a part-time work-study stint at a nursery school in a story in the New York Times.  Failed Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Poizner was accused of doing so by none other than This American Life's Ira Glass (see previous post here). Used to be, political candidates seemed to pad their military records or business accomplishments.  These days, it's their teaching experience.
