I don't even have the words...I don't think there are any words for that. The Russia, The Bush Doctorine, Attacking across borders...I feel so confused and frustrated.
6 colleges in 6 years? Were they all in Alaska? Were they all accredited? What the hell?
I just can't. and I wont!
Im going to watch Obama on Youtube. I need a pick-me-up.
Oprah does not need to have that type of ignorance on her show. GOP women can boycott what they want, but I want to know how much of an impact they think they'll make on a woman who basically Single-handedly took on the Entire Beef Industry and WON. Really though? These ignorant and overly desperate housewives need to get over themselves. |
You need a pick me up? LOL. That's hilarious.
Yes, it's very confusing to watch. This is the kind of thing that you don't let kids watch b/c they will be so confused about world relations after that mess that it's just detrimental to their own intelligence.
The colleges were in Idaho and Hawaii. My fault, it was 5 in 6 years, not 6 in 6 years. Wouldn't want to discredit her.
Here's the September 2008 article from the Huffington Post. Maybe she was on the run. LOL. Who knows.
I tell you, the more I see this woman, the more I wonder about the reasons that McCain picked her.... I smell dirt. I can't imagine that it's really anything else. We all know he has a thing for young ditties. Guess we'll just have to wait and see why he REALLY picked her. Hope it comes out before the election. Really, there must be more to this story b/c this goes against all reason and logic. Maybe that's it. Is McCain getting senile? No, seriously. Maybe that explains it.
Here's the article.

POKANE, Wash. - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin attended five colleges in six years before graduating from the University of Idaho in 1987.
Federal privacy laws prohibit the schools from disclosing her grades, and none of the schools contacted by The Associated Press could say why she transferred. There was no indication any of them were contacted as part of the background investigation of Palin by presidential candidate John McCain's campaign.
"Our office was not contacted by anyone," said Tania Thompson, spokeswoman for the University of Idaho in Moscow.
Palin, the governor of Alaska, was born in Idaho. Her family moved when she was only a few months old to Alaska, where she was raised.
She began college at Hawaii Pacific University, a private, nonsectarian school in Honolulu. She attended only as a freshman during the fall of 1982, school spokeswoman Crystale Lopez said.
Then known as Sarah Louise Heath, she was in the business administration program as a full-time student, Lopez said.
"We're trying to track down someone who knew her," Lopez added.
From Hawaii Pacific, Palin transferred to North Idaho College, a two-year school in Coeur d'Alene, about 30 miles east of Spokane. She attended the college as a general studies major for two semesters, in spring 1983 and fall 1983, spokeswoman Stacy Hudson said.

"We were not able to track down club affiliations or anything," Hudson said.
The school identified one of her professors but he did not remember her, Hudson said.
Prior to her selection by McCain, the North Idaho College Alumni Association notified Palin in June she would be the recipient of its 2008-2009 Distinguished Alumni of the Year Award.
From North Idaho College, Palin transferred 70 miles south to the University of Idaho, the state's flagship institution. She majored in journalism with an emphasis in broadcast news. She attended Idaho, whose mascot is the Vandals, from fall 1984 to spring 1985.
She then returned to Alaska to attend Matanuska-Susitna College in Palmer in fall 1985.
Then she returned to Idaho, for spring 1986, fall 1986 and spring 1987, when she graduated. Despite her journalism degree, she does not appear to have worked for the college newspaper or campus television station, school officials said. She worked briefly as a sportscaster for KTUU in Anchorage after she graduated college.
The McCain campaign did not have an immediate comment on Palin's higher education record.
In a recent interview with the school's alumni magazine, before her selection to run on the GOP ticket, she explained that her curiosity and love of writing made journalism a natural choice.
"I was always asking everyone the questions, and I still am today," Palin told the magazine.
The University of Idaho is taking advantage of Palin's nomination. A prominent photograph of her is featured on the school's Web site.
