She is a goof ball for sure, but to make fun of someone for taking a test multiple times just seems like a liberal thing to do. Remember when they tried to say Sarah was stupid for taking seven years to finish a four year degree. Everyone stuck up for her. I think there is plenty of things to “find dirt” on Murkowski, but taking the bar five times should not be one of them. I understand that exam is every difficult.

You don’t seriously think those two things are equivalent do you? LOL

The exam is difficult but not fail five times difficult.

She evidently took the same bar review prep course as JFK, Jr. did.

"She said that each time she took the test, she had trouble in particular with the standardized, multiple-choice portion of the exam. After her fourth failure, she and a friend who also struggled with it went to Portland, Ore., to take a preparatory course. During the course, they learned strategies for successfully tackling the standardized portion. Murkowski returned to Alaska and passed the bar exam. She was so impressed with the company that offered the prep course, PMBR, that for several years afterward she was its representative in Alaska."

Sounds like she finally passed because she learned some test-taking strategies, not because she learned more about the law. I'll give her points for persistence (obviously, since she's currently engaged in a Quixotesque write-in campaign). This is hardly evidence that she might be a better Senator than the Republican candidate who is a Yale Law School graduate and was awarded a Bronze Star.

See my post 43.

She is in all probability the only person in here class of applicants to fail 4 times.

The test is difficult, but I guarantee that you, with no legal education, could pass it in five attempts.

...tried to say Sarah was stupid for taking seven years to finish a four year degree.

There is a big difference between failing and transferring, and staying out of school some semesters...which, I believe, is why it took Sarah longer.

But 5 times? She is stupid for just having tried that many times.
