Sarah Palin's college years left no lasting impression

[AnAnonymousDemocrat]

In the five years of her collegiate career, spanning four universities in three states, Palin left behind few traces. Not many professors or students even remember her.

Reported from Moscow, Idaho -- What can we learn about our political stars from impressions they made in college?

Sen. John McCain is remembered as a passionate contrarian who won the hearts of his classmates at the Naval Academy. Sen. Barack Obama, who attended Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School, is remembered as a daunting scholar and calming influence. Sen. Joe Biden, who had a brush with plagiarism at Syracuse University College of Law, is remembered fondly by professors who found him charming.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, however, is barely remembered at all.

In the five years of her collegiate career, spanning four universities in three states, Palin left behind few traces.

1. I disagree.

She probably left the lasting impression that she's a moron.

2. She was too busy studying what a Vice President did

in third grade

[no_hypocrisy]

3. She reminds me of the saying "Nobody is completely worthless.

You can always serve as a bad example."

4. And after this VP loss will not be remembered in the future!

5. Did they check out the health records at the local clinics?

I'm sure her name must have turned up there on more than one occasion.

6. On her? agreed.

7. All that remains from those years is a photograph:

She looks like she's holding in a bong hit.

8. I'm still wondering about that pink thing ...

with the black knob on the end, right in front of her crossed legs. Don't even ask me how I would recognize something like that.......

:think:

10. Looks like one of those big fat highlighter pens

She strikes me as the kind of student who highlights entire pages of text, but understands none of it.

[ITsec]

11. Could be.. but...

it looks more like something that takes batteries.

[Dr. Death]

15. Oh, I knew what you were hinting at

But even Palin couldn't be dumb enough to leave that out for a photo, right?
:shrug:

12. Maybe she had a minor in Onanistic Studies?

:shrug: :rofl:

9. MEDIOCRITY

That is exactly what she represents. Thing is she IS like most people...most people are just kinda average. Good people, but kinda average. Not all of us have "Jeffersonian qualities" in us. It's just the way it is. That said, I want someone with those "Jeffersonian qualities", someone with great curiosity, brilliance, and steadfast leadership running the ship.

13. So, poor Sarah couldn't afford to get a passport and travel the world like the "elites"

but she had money to move to Hawaii and fuck around? I think that's just as elitist as backpacking through Europe, and I'm sure it was more expensive. I don't buy her act for a second.

14. ... on her brain. n/t

16. Of course McLoser won the hearts of his classmates at the Naval Academy

he was 894th out of 899. He helped skew the curve downward! :dunce:
