I thought it was a joke, but then I saw a pretty authentic-looking document that's also making the rounds on the blogsphere. It's a compilation of her academic record and photos that someone (??) assembled and posted for view. The link is here:
http://clapboard.org/temp/SarahPalinReport.pdf
In just looking through it, we find that her then-latest high school grades went like this: she scored a B in English, a D in Foreign Language, and didn't get an A in anything. Her SAT scores were 425 verbal and 416 for math.
The report also has a LOT of media clippings, all negative, about Palin. But what got my attention was the information about Bristol Palin's soon-to-be husband Levi Johnston. It claims that his MySpace has race-hate words...
Bristol Palin's boyfriend, the father of her unborn child, refers to himself as proud to be a "fuckin' redneck" on his MySpace page (before his profile was removed). He also said if anyone “messes” with him, he would "kick their fuckin' ass." He uses the N-word freely, and under hobbies, says “I like to shoot shit" for fun.
Ah...OK!
The document also has her education and resume:

1978-1982: Wasilla High School, diploma, 2.2 GPA
1982: Hawaii Pacific College (dropped out)
1983: North Idaho Community College (dropped out)

Wow. Palin attended, let's see, five colleges in five years! WTF? What was up with that? Think about it. You would have to sign up for a new college midway into the time you were at the existing college.
She's got some explaining to do there. I've never seen a VP candidate with a resume like that. I wonder if it has to do with that "83"....
Hmm....
I wonder who Sarah pissed off so badly they posted all of this information? It's clear someone in Alaska's got it in for her.
Both the sat and IQ scores are hoaxes:

..but everything else you commented checks out.
ReplyDelete5 colleges (verified on Wikipedia). Grades are verified. Facebook stuff was verified. So regardless of the authenticity of the scan you're referring to, the numbers all seem to fit.
If the shoe fits...
