Good for her. I hope it sticks.

~”To me, you’re not a man,” she told CNN. “George Zimmerman’s not a man. That’s still a little boy with a grown body.”

That suggests she has not turned her life around at all~

She is yet to learn a word “retarded”.

~There are a great many imbeciles who manage to read with reasonable facility; just look at congress.

Who knows, perhaps there’s a political career in her future.~

True. Sandra Fluke is not low-class enough to perform well in certain circles. Replacement needed.

There's no way she was tutored for 7 hours a day and able to graduate in a year “as she promised Trayvon” with where she was during that trial.

They pushed her through and gave her a diploma. Next up: Rachel Jeantel sues college that expels her for failing every class. Or she studies Victimization Studies and receive a 4.0.

I've tutored. She did not go from a 4th grade reading level and incoherency to graduate in one year! I've also wondered, it just seemed strange to me that Trayvon Martin was supposedly such good friends with a 300 pound girl that didn't attend school with him that he barely saw. I've often wondered if it was some one else she let use her phone. Just a wild conspiracy, I know.

Effort, even if she has exerted it, is not enough to excel. You must also have inborn talent.

The thought that she could get into college makes me shudder.

She’s still ignorant.

I’m a big believer in education and self improvement but I would be more impressed with her if she admitted that she goaded Trayvon into attacking George Zimmerman and expressed remorse for her part in that.

It doesn’t seem to say what she got her reading skills up to, just that she “graduated high school” after extensive tutoring. I have to wonder, did she actually graduate, or did she get a GED, possibly by receiving “help” with the test answers?

No doubt the “tutoring” was paid-for by leftist groups as a sop to her for supporting St. Skittles the No Limit N***a.

Oh, and per a previous thread on this, she didn’t lose weight. If anything, she’s gained some.

This is what her good friend Trayvon did.

Oz Never Did Give Anything to the Tin Man...

When that movie was over, the Tin Man was still just a Tin Man without a brain.

Same deal here.

That can’t be true because Piers Morgan said she was a smart cookie who was fluent in four languages!

I hope she does do some learnin’ and book smarts things.

I really do.

But because of who she is I suspect she will be coddled the rest of her life and given some $400,000 a year no show job like Moochelle.

She's still a democrat. We know where on the Bell Curve she locates. Besides, I'm having more of a problem, every day, in believing what the Leftist media claims.

The shot at Zimmerman doesn't sell me on her reading ability or intellectual improvement.

Fifty years of trying to counter Leftist hatred has worn out my personal willingness to turn the other cheek.

I'm more a fan of, "Kill them all. God will know His own."

I'm not buying into this one. She will turn her life around until she runs into the fact that most of us already know. Being responsible for yourself means you work hard to put a roof over your head and food on the table. As soon as she is faced with this she will fold like a Chinese fan and find a dozen excuses why it happened.

If you watch the two interviews, there is little evidence that she really has changed. She was not allowed to do much talking. Both of interviewers asked her pointed questions which seemed framed to make the interviewer’s point, and she mostly gave one word or a few word answers. They didn’t let her do much talking. In both cases, they seemed less interested in her than promoting their political agenda wrapped in a feel good package. Sadly, for her I feel that she is being used by the media and that they will dump her when she is no longer of use.

Tin man needed a heart.

I think the scarecrow was looking for the brain...the Tin Man was looking for a heart.

She's changer her life around? Did she check herself into Jenny Craig rehab for an eating disorder? Has she finally draduated from high school or is she still trying to pass “cursive” writing? Is she still trying to contact the spirit of the dead St. Trayvon Martin?
