We all know Sarah Palin isn’t running on brains, but just for fun I decided to research her academic background:
- In 1982, she enrolled at Hawaii Pacific College but left after her first semester.
- Next she transferred to North Idaho community college, where she spent two semesters as a general studies major.
- Transferred to the University of Idaho for two semesters. During this time Palin won the Miss Wasilla Pageant beauty contest, then finished third in the Miss Alaska pageant, at which she won a college scholarship and the “Miss Congeniality” award.
- She then left the University of Idaho and attended Matanuska-Susitna community college in Alaska for one term.
- Returned to the University of Idaho where she spent three semesters completing her Bachelor of Science degree in communications-journalism, graduating in 1987.
For those of you not keeping score, that’s 4 different schools in 5 years, two of which were community colleges. Her greatest “academic” achievement was 3rd place in the Miss Alaska beauty pageant.
Call me an elitist, but I’d feel safer if the person a John-McCain-stroke away from the presidency had more education than the average waiter at Denny’s.
