O’Donnell Graduates!

Filed in Delaware by on September 3, 2010

Our gal of the week, Christine O’Donnell finally recieved her degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University.   And in typical O’Donnell fashion there’s conflicting stories…

Citing privacy reasons, Giglio [assistant director of public relations at the Madison, N.J] could not explain the reasoning behind the timing, but O’Donnell’s campaign manager said Friday the candidate met a final course requirement this summer.

“She’s gone through the process to receive her degree, that’s not the story. She fulfilled the last course requirement this summer. It was just a general elective course,” said O’Donnell campaign manager Matt Moran.

But that contradicts previous explanations O’Donnell has given about her education history.

Contradictory stories from the O’Donnell camp?  Well, knock me over with a feather!

Her 2006 Senate campaign website described her as a “graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University.” In March of this year, she told the Delaware News Journal that FDU was withholding her diploma because she had not yet paid off her student loans. “I finished the coursework,” O’Donnell told the newspaper.

Okay, so which is it?  Was her diploma withheld because she didn’t fulfill a course requirement, or because she hadn’t paid off her student loans?  Or is she just a serial liar?

    The tbagz have to be kicking themselves for having such a flawed candidate, and yet with all her flaws, the DE GOP is getting really bloody going after her. If nothing else, maybe the tbagz will sta home in Nov.

  2. The university doesn’t care if you paid your student loans – they care if you paid them. Aren’t the student loans supposed to pay them anyway? I’ll bet it was course work.

  3. Everyone should congratulate the new graduate! It only took 20 yrs to earn a B.A.

  4. anon says:

    Good on her. I’m not laughing – it took me almost that long myself.

  5. a. price says:

    If i run for office before i get my degree (at this pace, that is likely)
    I will just answer questions about it with a simple “i didnt know a degree from some elite school was a requirement to run for office”

    the upside for chrissy o’edumacated is, now she has a better shot at getting a real job once the campaign donations dry up.

  6. I know a lot of people who took nearly that long to get a degree. It was always work/life/money issues. None of them falsely claimed to have a degree they didn’t or say it was because of loans.

  7. pandora says:

    I’m not knocking her degree. I’m pointing out that, yet again, what she says one day doesn’t mesh with what she said another. Why do the lies keep coming from this woman?

  8. anon says:

    I wonder if she got the in-state tuition rate for that last course.

  9. Dr. Crazy says:

    The “loans” thing doesn’t fly, and I’m amazed that anyone accepts that as an answer.

    You get a student loan, the lender pays the school, and you do your work and get your degree. Whether you pay off the loan is between you and the lender. No school on the planet cares if you pay the loan or not.

    Why did Chrissy use a socialist gubmint loan program in the first place?

  10. I dun been edumacated to hi skool gradiation. I sure as shooting don’t lie about it neither.

    Zero point Zero
    Crazed, religious and deceitful is no way to go through life

    “Crazed, religious and deceitful is no way to go through life”

    At least Bluto KNEW he was fat, drunk & stupid! Dean Wormer also put the entire house on “double secret probation”. Hahahahaha

    O’Donnell is one of those people who have convinced themselves that they are the 2nd coming of Christ.

    She’s obviously delusional & she avoids intelligent, well researched questions like the plague. Christine counts on voter stupidity & laziness.

    FWIW, I’m not a republican & I can’t vote in the primary. Castle, in my opinion, is Captain Milquetoast, but he’s better than Coons any day.

    O’Donnell hasn’t got a chance in the primary or the general election. She’s a right-wing nut job & this is a centrist/moderate state. Castle knows his electorate. That’s one reason why he’s never lost an election.

  13. Dr Crazy says:

    Did she graduate cum laude or laude how cum?

  14. Joe Cass says:

    Tyrone, put this in your pipe and smoke it: the American electorate is ignorant. Put a Snookie in front of them and its all they can stand, because we all recognize she’s an idiot and that makes us feel swell. Trouble is when you put a dick jetson or any other recovering drug addict in front of the mic constantly spewing the talking points making us out to be snookie. You ever read a book called “The Right Wing Noise Machine”? Download it on your kimbo or maxipad or whatever it is you numbnuts are using.
    O’Donnell still can take the primary, and for no logical reason other than they want their country back. Where’s the logic in that/ In truth they want to give the country over to the overlords.

  15. Joe Cass says:

    Dr. Crazy, I think its your shift to work the bushes. Let us know how loudly she cums,

  16. Aoine says:

    OR – cum how laude?? or if she is a virgin – LAWD – cum how??

    oh – that would bring us back to her views on masturbation….

    would that include sex toys???

  17. Joe Cass says:

    Shall we break it down to limericks, shall we?

    If a lad makes the sign of the cross
    then his mule meat he shall not toss
    He can’t jerk off to O’Donnell
    or picture her tunnel
    Like his semem her bid is a loss

    give me a minute, i need a beer, a smoke and time pray

  18. Joe Cass says:

    Chrissy has all right wing boys
    In christ they find all of their joys
    Can’t stand the heat in the kitchen
    when her panties are itchin’
    then she inserts all her sex toys

    give me a minute. I’m sure I’m onto something.

  19. jason330 says:

    Well…She doesn’t just bring out the worst in her supporters I see. It seems to be a fairly universal thing. It is starting to feel like the NJ comments section up in here.

  20. Joe Cass says:

    And I’m not exactly trying to piss anyone off, exactly

    O’Donnell finds truth such a hassle,
    as she did to earn the mortar board tassel.
    But with the Tea Party in
    and preaching against sin
    She still has no chance to beat Castle

    I’m getting there. I haven’t smoked yet. Or prayed. I’m praying right now I can smoke in the house. No. Damn anti-theist morality makes me go outside.n Other people’s lungs suck!

  21. Joe Cass says:

    A woman in heels can’t speak the truth
    A man in heels challenges Joe Booth
    they both share a trait
    nothing is ever kept straight
    And are personally uncouth

    as a side note, I take all comers, you won’t me as easily pushed aside as the gop.

  22. pandora says:

    Isn’t there a way to make your point without being so offensive? There are valid criticisms concerning O’Donnell. Perhaps you’d like to try making them, instead of using this comment section like the wall of the little boy’s room.

  23. Delaware Dem says:

    Yeah, the sexual comments are crossing the line. It is sexist, for I doubt you would write such things about Mike Castle or Chris Coons.

    Christine O’Donnell has a treasure trove of opinions, statements and actions that we can rightly criticize. There is no need to devolve to this level.

  24. Ishmael says:

    TB, that was Flounder, not Bluto who Dean Wormer admonished.
