Our gal of the week, Christine O’Donnell finally recieved her degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University. And in typical O’Donnell fashion there’s conflicting stories…
Citing privacy reasons, Giglio [assistant director of public relations at the Madison, N.J] could not explain the reasoning behind the timing, but O’Donnell’s campaign manager said Friday the candidate met a final course requirement this summer.
“She’s gone through the process to receive her degree, that’s not the story. She fulfilled the last course requirement this summer. It was just a general elective course,” said O’Donnell campaign manager Matt Moran.
But that contradicts previous explanations O’Donnell has given about her education history.
Contradictory stories from the O’Donnell camp? Well, knock me over with a feather!
Her 2006 Senate campaign website described her as a “graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University.” In March of this year, she told the Delaware News Journal that FDU was withholding her diploma because she had not yet paid off her student loans. “I finished the coursework,” O’Donnell told the newspaper.
Okay, so which is it? Was her diploma withheld because she didn’t fulfill a course requirement, or because she hadn’t paid off her student loans? Or is she just a serial liar?
