It took Christine even longer than Sarah to get through college -- more than 20 years.
Although she pretended to have that degree until she actually got it -- this month.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_O%27Donnell

She attended her university's commencement ceremony in 1993 but did not receive a degree. O'Donnell later said the degree was withheld due to unpaid tuition.<13> In 1994, Fairleigh Dickinson University sued her for $4,823, winning a judgment for the entire amount according to court documents. The debt was paid in 2003.<4><12><13> After O'Donnell completed a required course in the summer of 2010,<12> Fairleigh Dickinson awarded her a bachelor's degree in English literature,<9><12><13> with a concentration in communication.<9>

1. Love that fiscal responsibility!
She also defaulted on her mortgage and owed $11,000 in back taxes. In addition, she filed a gender discrimination complaint with the EEOC (a federal agency), and sued her former employer for $6.9 million in a Federal court, a suit she eventually dropped. Damn that evil Federal government!

2. Maybe taking this long to get a bachelor's degree is just part of her masters-abation program.

3. Oh c'mon!!! It took me almost 30 years to get my BA - from 1946 to 1974,
but I was raising three kids, too.

4. But I bet you weren't lying about having one. She was listing
a non-existent degree for more than 20 years.

5. Her degree was in English Literature? The woman who spoke of something being "unfactual"?
Her vocabulary and her grammar are pathetic.
