6 Colleges in 6 Years

Foxnews.com posted a story off the AP wire that indicates Sarah Palin switched colleges 6 times in 6 years. Now, it might be hypocritical of me to point this out, since I myself transferred schools once and finished my Bachelor's degree in 5 years (but it seems like the 5 year plan is more common these days & I'm also not a VP candidate). However, to spend 6 years getting a B.S. in Journalism, while attending at least 3 different colleges before she finally graduated in 1987 doesn't make me think that she took her education very seriously.

Now it would be very unfair and hypocritical for me to criticize Palin when Joe Biden has had a couple of bumps during his prior education and political career for plagiarism. However, in comparing the education of the two, Joe Biden has a strong advantage over Sarah Palin, as he received a J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law and was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1969. In 1981, Biden received an honorary degree from Saint Joseph's University. He has also served as a n adjunct professor at the Widener University School of Law where teaches a seminar on constitutional law. Source: Wikipedia
