SPOKANE, Wash. (Sept. 4) - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin seems to have switched colleges at least six times in six years, including two stints at the University of Idaho before graduating from there in 1987.
Federal privacy laws prohibit the schools from disclosing her grades, and none of the schools contacted by The Associated Press could say why she transferred. There was no indication any were contacted as part of the background investigation of Palin by presidential candidate John McCain's campaign.

They still have to find the unpaid lunch slips from junior high school.
She probably couldn’t stand all the idiot liberal teachers she was getting stuck with.
already posted earlier. and I thought it was 5 times?
I also heard she bared her ankles, drank beer, and wore tshirts with funny slogans on them. The horror.
The limp-wristed, flag-burning, bedwetting, twinkletoed Media is getting scareder and scareder every day.
who cares, at least Sarah Palin’s middle name is not Hussein.
Hey-I heard in grade school she went to the potty without a hall pass!
But did she flunk out of Divinity School?
Talk about fishing expeditions...they’re still trying to find something that will stick. They are scared to death! Too bad they won’t be as diligent about finding the dirt on Obama.
yyyyaaaaawwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...........
Imagine going to journalism school and landing a job with a paper and having to do this kind of “investigative reporting”——makes me glad I learned a trade.
Meanwhile MSM ignores radical anti-semite Islamist aiding Obama into Harvard.
Percy Sutton, NYC political icon in the African American community, tells a news reporter that Dr. Khalid al Mansour solicited favor and recommendation on behalf of Barack Hussein Obama in order to secure Barack’s entry into Harvard. Think about that.

Most people are on the 5+ year plan anyway.
What about unpaid parking tickets? I hear there’s an investigation into a mattress tag that mysteriously disappeared. And there’s that horrible scandal about her killing defenseless animals. [/sarc]
So you *admit* this is retroactive dirt-digging by Obama.
More PDS.
Hey, Bambi -- keep on attacking her and you can make like the Sheriff in Blazing Saddles:
"Hey, where are all the Hillary Voters at?"
Cheers!
The headline is wrong. It’s 5 colleges in 5 years. If you count where she attended for a full semester, it’s only 4. Two of the 4 were community colleges. One of the community colleges was 14 miles from Wasilla.
From http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-politics/20080904/CVN.Palin.Education/
“According to a biography — “Sarah” by Kaylene Johnson — Palin and three friends went to the University of Hawaii at Hilo after graduation from high school in Alaska in 1982. But they left after a few weeks because of the constant rain there, the book said.
Palin, then known as Sarah Louise Heath, and a friend then traveled to Honolulu and enrolled at Hawaii Pacific University, a private, nonsectarian school. She attended only as a freshman during the fall of 1982, school spokeswoman Crystale Lopez said.”
I like the way MIchaelTArchangel laid out her education in http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2074833/posts. I’ve plagiarized it below. It really tells the story of an average American girl getting her education. I’m impressed with her education choices! It makes mine seem boring. I’ve added comments to his list.
S?/F?82: Hawaii Hilo - left after two weeks
F82: Hawaii Pacific University, Business Administration (With at least one friend. Could have been the friends’ plan to live in Hawaii for a few months and still work towards a degree. Remember her parents are teachers, so she knew education was important.)
S83: North Idaho College, General Studies (a community college - great way to get basic classes in a cost effective manner, and it looks like a cool place to go to school. http://www.nic.edu/overview.asp)
F83: North Idaho College, General Studies (ditto)
S84: No college listed (took a semester off to earn a little money)
F84: University of Idaho, Journalism (?).
S85: University of Idaho, Journalism (?).
F85: Matanuska-Susitna College, Journalism (?) (About 14 miles from her hometown of Wasilla and part of the University of Alaska Anchorage. Maybe something was going on at home and they needed her help, or maybe she needed to be close to home to earn some money again. http://www.matsu.alaska.edu/)
S86: University of Idaho, Journalism
F86: University of Idaho, Journalism
S87: University of Idaho, Journalism
