Now hold on. You assured us she had a poor academic record, yet now you reveal you had no documented basis for your assertion? And no, the allegation of six years inferring something negative is bogus.

First, the accounts I have read indicate she finished in 5 years, not 6. The error is due to the difference between simple calendral subtraction versus actual semesters from beginning to end. It’s an easy error to make (called a boundary condition error in computer science), so don’t feel bad. I have two in college right now so its easy for me to get that.

Besides, my daughter is a 4.0 student in a difficult major and she’ll be finishing up closer to 6 than 5 because of holding out a year to work and wait for lower in state rates. People not born to wealth and inclined to carry their own weight often have interruptions that delay degree completion.

Therefore, your inference from delay is entirely without merit. You are assessing Palin’s intellect based on unsubstantiated rumors fabricated by the left out of thin air. Look at her recent work product. That will tell you more than faked records and poorly calculated degree completion times. That is, if you really want to know.

But that's the problem. Palin didn't take a difficult major. She majored in journalism. This wouldn't be an issue if it took her even 6 years to complete a B.Sc in physics or chemistry.
