Pardon my ignorance, but who the heck is this ‘Bonnie Fuller’ and why should I, or Sarah Palin, care what she thinks or says/writes? And exactly what qualifies her to give advice on how other people should raise their children, and/or how grown adults (including a combat veteran) should conduct their educational experience?

Bristol turned 20 on Oct, 19th.

What I’d hate to think is that you, Sarah, see it as politically detrimental to your folksy, down-home image to have your children go to college.

Why is it I get the feeling that not only does this peraon not hate thinking it, but is actually quite pleased with themselves for it.

Mini-bio: Fuller, Bonnie Hurowitz

1956 - Bonnie Fuller, born in Toronto, Canada. She was the editor of Flare magazine, YM magazine, the first American edition of Marie Claire magazine, Cosmopolitan magazine, Glamour magazine, and Us Weekly.

Dog-Ugly Canadian liberal Fuller, defending Michelle 0bama's massive arms at HuffPo:

"All those big-mouth Republicans are major Mr. Softies: Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich. Between the bunch of them, they probably wouldn't last five minutes on a treadmill. They are afraid -- Michelle COULD punch them out."

[panthermom]

Liberals don’t actually DO anything. They choose professional student as a life choice because they cannot DO anything else. They don’t have the internal fortitude to actually accomplish things so they pool their minimal brain power and spend their time “thinking” of ways to get out of work or have someone else pay for the sh!t.

LOL.

I have a degree.

I don’t see why I would take people for task for choosing a different route. College isn’t for everyone and that’s a good thing.

But then I’m not a PC zombie...

What is it with Leftists and their reverence for degrees from paper mills?

Oh yeah, it’s the indoctrination that you would miss if you skipped college.

I have 3 college degrees, but I understand that most of them are worthless.

Being a successful salmon fisherman is probably a lot more of an educational experience than going through some lame “liberal arts” education in an American university these days.

If you aren’t going to get a degree in something useful, such as chemistry or some engineering field, then college is mostly a waste of time and money. It is especially a waste if you go into debt to get that paper from the diploma mill.

There’s a reason why men are leaving college and women are going to it in the trends they are today.

[Jacktown]

AMEN !

My son is back home after a divorce. He’s a full time student and he’s almost 30. And guess what ? He pays for it himself.

I hope to God he doesn’t bring home a Bonnie. The Lib chicks throw themselves at him. Makes me gag.

[PhilDragoo]

One might mention Chelsea Hubbell and Barack's sham marriage, but we're better than that.

Bonnie, looks like you got your nose too close to something that kicks.

It's affected your brain.

[ABQHispConservative]

Probably some fool who couldn’t even make it as a sociologist, which is pretty bad.

[MichiganConservative]

panthermom, do you drive a Crown Vic, a Grand Marquis, or a Town Car?

“If you want to go study something in the social sciences, or liberal arts, languages, theater, PLEASE, go study it and have a great time for 4 years. Especially if you can afford it. But there will be no job waiting for you afterward, so make sure you took no loans to get there.”

Well I want to teach and they sorta require these ‘degree’ thingys. But sage advice nonetheless.

"She was the editor of Flare magazine, YM magazine, the first American edition of Marie Claire magazine, Cosmopolitan magazine, Glamour magazine, and Us Weekly."

She was the editor of all that, and yet she writes like an angry 8th grader.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I was 30 before I even applied to college.

[ladyjane]

Bristol CHOSE to not go to college and Bristol instead devote time to RAISING HER CHILD.

She doesn't seem to be doing that.

[Happy Rain]

Send them to IVY League Leftist indoctrination mills so they end up ignorant nanomentals like you BF?

This rant about how many colleges and how long it took is pretty clueless and also quite elitist!

I came from a family where there was no college fund. I was the first to attend college and it took me awhile to get my degree.

First off I had to work and go to school so it took me three years to complete my AA degree at a community college. I spent the extra time getting the AA vs. just transferring to State University because they would challenge fewer of my classes as transferable if I had the degree.

I attended one year at the State University and was told I could no longer qualify for the grant I once received for my good grades (it helped supplement my wages) because I was not a minority and the rules had changed.

I took off the next year to work and save money and in the Spring of that year took one class at another State University as a trial to see if I liked the subject as a possible career. I found it to be a great fit and made plans to return that Fall.

The program was closed and not accepting new majors, but I signed up for classes I would need for that particular degree despite the major being closed. By my second year I was accepted into the major and on my way. It took me a total of 3 years to work and go to school to complete the BA degree.

So I guess I must be dumber than that hick Sarah... It took me seven years to get my degree instead of the four it would take the elitist ivy league brats who go to school on mommy and daddy's money or grandma's trust fund.

Fuller was born in Toronto to a real-estate lawyer and an elementary school teacher. Her parents' divorce when she was in her teens resulted in serious financial difficulty for her mother and herself. She describes her younger self with "I'm truly geeky ... a Canadian Jewish girl from a dysfunctional family". Fuller now serves as the editorial director of American Media, where she relaunched the former tabloid Star magazine as a glossy magazine. She has written an autobiography concentrating on her career, entitled The Joys of Much Too Much, extolling the virtues of a hectic but full career and home life, over simplicity and tranquility.

No mention of a college degree in this bio. If she DID graduate, she's wasted her life on trivial things like tabloid magazines & trash websites. She has NO room to talk...and shouldn't be anyway - because the Palin kids are none of her business.

[Lancey Howard]

Isn’t Track Palin the soldier who has been deployed overseas to help America fight the war on terror?
What on earth is this cow Bonnie Fuller talking about?
