Well, he seemed to think he was immune from being a stupid.

I think the fact that he felt the need hack in to raise his grades already indicates that even HE thought he was too stupid to do it normally.

he's 28 and is a student or he wanted his GPA boosted retroactively? Quoth the article: Shriber wanted Lyger and Jericho to break into the computer system at Texas Christian University, from which he graduated in 2000. He wanted to retrofit his grades. Mind you, the exchange happened months ago, but nobody put together he was a Congressional aide until recently.
