Alvin Greene: America's most unlikely politician
The Guardian (via OkiePundit.com) ^ | July 8, 2010 | Ed Pilkington

“Another thing we can do for jobs is make toys of me, especially for the holidays. Little dolls. Me. Like maybe little action dolls. Me in an army uniform, air force uniform, and me in my suit. They can make toys of me and my vehicle, especially for the holidays and Christmas for the kids. That’s something that would create jobs. So you see I think out of the box like that. It’s not something a typical person would bring up. That’s something that could happen, that makes sense. It’s not a joke.”

Alvin Greene- political byproduct resulting from a successful vote fraud scheme.

OK, skipping past the fact that he seems mentally challenged or chemically enhanced in most interviews - logistically, I’ve been wondering how a man of 32 could have spent 13 years in the military and obtained a university degree (usually takes 5 years these days.) Does anyone know? Were many of his military years in the NG? What’s with changing services and what are the circumstances of the “involuntary discharge”?

This is one of the worst cases of social promotion by all entities (high school, military and university) I’ve ever seen.

How about this: The action doll comes with an island that tips over. Just put the island in your pool, put the action figure on it and watch it tip.

Yeah, it sure doesn't add up, does it? But to me, the real puzzler is that this joker supposedly has a four-year degree from the University of South Carolina. As bad as standards may have slipped in U.S. universities, I just don't see how a simpleton like this could have gotten a four-year degree from a major state university.

"It’s not a joke.”

We know, Alvin, and we're not laughing. We're shaking our heads in disbelief.

Questions, not answers:

Is this degree an AA (two year) or a bachelor's (4 years)?

the politics degree he gained at university
The man "sounds" slow witted (in interviews). He MAY be, or he MAY be merely inarticulate, giving memorized, cliched answers. Do either of these scenarios comport with this sentence?
"First-time non-violent offenders should be entitled to pre-trial intervention programmes, like seminars or courses that would expunge the charges. "

Now, consider this:

moments of lucidity interspersed with moments of the complete opposite.
What would a person sound like, who holds a degree in political science (possibly, obtained while IN the military) several years in Military intelligence (with a 4 yr degree, could have been an officer) and an "involuntary," but "honorable" discharge? If he were trying to sound "simple?" Just questions, no answers.
