It took Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, five attempts to pass the Alaska Bar Exam, a piece of her biography that has gone unreported until now, when she faces a long-shot write-in bid for another term in her Senate seat.
Murkowski, who graduated in 1985 from Willamette University's College of Law in Oregon, wasn't admitted to the Alaska Bar until November 1987.
She flunked the exam in July 1985, February 1986, July 1986 and again in February 1987. She passed on her fifth try in July 1987. Murkowski said that although her failures on the exam aren't something she talks about regularly, she's never hidden them. It's an example of how she "stayed in there," Murkowski said, "and I did not quit."

Miller - the other lawyer in the race - is a 1995 graduate of Yale's law school. He took the Alaska Bar Exam once, passing it in July 1995. He was admitted to practice law in Alaska in November 1995. Generally, about two-thirds of people taking the exam passed it in the years Murkowski failed it. In July 1985 and February 1986, 69 percent passed; 62 percent passed in July 1986, and 74 percent in February 1987.
The year she passed it, 63 percent of exam-takers aced it.

Hussein has failed multiple times. Never got one headline.
Lisa Murkowski=FAIL
Any other questions?
Has her history after that exceeded that particular expectation? (this coming from a 4.0 GPA Golden Key International Honor Society Member)
No.
Enough said.
Miller! Booyeah!
So Lisa Murkowski doesn’t know crap about constitutional law . . . say it ain’t so.
Most folks would agree that they’ve ‘peaked’ on knowledge and at their best just a month after graduation. You get the impression here that she kinda just swam along with the classwork and graduated, but probably never grasped much of anything.
They talk about her private practice years...roughly a decade...but there’s any much of an explanation to what jobs she actually did. It would be curious to know what she actually accomplished in that decade....or if she was just sitting and waiting for the right moment.
Damn.
Damn dumb, in fact.
“Hussein has failed multiple times. Never got one headline.”
I never even heard that one- I know his wife (and Hillary Clinton, Gov. Moonbeam Jerry Brown, and a whole bunch of other so-called ‘brilliant’ Libs) bombed.
Well, at least she did better than “My Cousin Vinny.”
.
The advantage of being a non-conservative is that America’s bigoted fat-axxed press will never come snooping around..... Until you’re already yesterday’s news. THEN they show up to “prove” that they are even-handed.
Ah, I see the problem here. Murkowski couldn’t understand the concept of libel and slander.
old wench!
Thanks for the pic, 50mm!
Cheers!
Murkowski said, “and I did not quit.”
She did not study either.
The caption is small.
"Quitters never win; Winners never quit. But those who never win and never quit are idiots."
did she major in “recreation” like Patty Murray? heh
Hillary Clinton failed the DC Bar. That’s why she moved to Arkansas.
Amazing what one discovers when daylight is shined under the rock.
Hold on. I was referring to current times - not something that may have happened in the past. My mistake.
” Murkowski couldnt understand the concept of libel and slander.”
My, my, my...maybe she should go back to school, so that she can understand what is legal...
and what is NOT.
No worries, though...she’s entitled!
