SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — 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.

This is big news, but Senator Obama having communist, socialist, black separatist, Nation of Islam, terrorist and Islamofascist mentors, associates, friends and staffers isn't?! WTF?!!

She graduated in 5 years. 6 years come from counting calendar years, so if you go in the fall semester and then spring semester that counts as two years according to their rules. Also, they double count the University of Idaho because she attended one semester at a college in Alaska during her time there. So she really attended 4 colleges for 5 years, two of those for one semester each.

They are desperate to try to stick anything on her. Next thing you know they'll have video of her double dipping a potato chip at a party in her teens.

Beat me to it...

Is it not amazing in the Internet world how AP reporters still try to hide from everyone by posting their articles with no e-mail to reply back to the writer. So typical..

In 1983, while playing Galaga at the local arcade, she noticed an extra token in the coin return slot... But, guess what?

She didn't return it. Instead she used it to play a SECOND game of Galaga.

OMG!!!! OMFG!!!!

Isn’t it all on her MySpace page?

I was a rogue scholar myself (four universities in eight years).

I'll wait for the MSM to report on Obama's Ivy League schooling. (sarcasm)

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Hey MSM, that’s some great digging. Now will you please find out what Obama’s and his wife’s SAT and LSAT scores were and whether they got into Ivy League Schools merely as tokens, perhaps we’ll have a fuller picture to look over when we make our vote decision.

GRETA POINT! I've been saying that for 4-5 months now!

[webschooner]

Meanwhile, OBammy stated in his own book, that he was doing cocaine, pot, and alcohol at age 17 or 18 ... but of course, that is of no concern to the LibMedjia.

Meanwhile, they find it scandalous that Sarah went to 5 different colleges before graduating.

The Libtards are exhibiting desperation!!

Al Gore Flunked OUT of school. 'nuf said.

[goodnesswins]

I’d say then, that she probably knows MORE about education than the HAHVAD educated Obama

[skeeter]

Why do these news organizations even bother?

They're like denizens in a primate exhibit, flinging all the crap they can lay their paws on hoping something - ANYTHING - will stick.

[mirkwood]

How can I register the quote “msm-obama” ?

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Does Gov. Palin have a MySpace page?

[gimme1ibertee]

Very bright,astute people tend to wander because they get bored easily...especially when they’re being BSed.She was just looking for a decent school,that’s all.

[italianquaker]

Wow that equals how many deferments biden received to stay out of Vietnam

[seekthetruth]

“Here the MSM is digging out 30 year old rubbish. I smell desperation at work!”

Just wish they would dig for some rubbish on Obama! They wouldn’t even have to go back 30 years. Try 1999! And on top of that, the rubbish would be true!

[SkyDancer]

The MSM will show that she can’t stay in one place long enough ....
