This is just like people making point of Al Gore running a car for an hour while making a speech about Carbon Footprints. You can't run a campaign on family values and not have your family values questioned....

I'm voting for Christine based on her level of edukashun:

O’Donnell’s 2006 Senate campaign website stated that she was a graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson University and articles that reported on her 2006 and 2008 campaigns also said she had a degree from FDU.[nb 3][16] In March 2010 she told The News Journal she had finished her course work but her diploma was being withheld because of an unpaid bill.[1] FDU told Politico she was given her degree on September 1, 2010 after she completed coursework during the summer of 2010.

O'Donnell later told The New York Times she had had three senior years of college.[12] Her Bachelor of Arts degree is in English literature with a concentration in communications.[3]

In a 2005 lawsuit, O’Donnell implied she was working toward a master's degree at Princeton University but she later acknowledged she had never taken graduate courses there.[17]

She claimed that she had studied at Oxford University in England but that claim was called "misleading" by The Washington Post as she took only a course run by an unaffiliated institution that was renting space at Oxford.[17][18]

As of late September 2010, O'Donnell's LinkedIn profile stated that she had studied Constitutional Government at Claremont Graduate University near Los Angeles, California;[19] but Claremont said it had no record for her

When asked specifically about her profile on three occasions by the Associated Press and The Washington Post, O'Donnell's staff made no reference to the profile being unauthorized. A few days later, however, when O’Donnell’s possible academic embellishments became an issue, O'Donnell said, "I never established a LinkedIn profile or authorized anyone to do so on my behalf.” [21] Soon after, O’Donnell’s staff asked LinkedIn to remove the profile

Clearly it's only intolerable hypocrisy when a lefty does it.

Moot. Her being Single has nothing to do with why this is an issue.

You are right. It is all a matter of the politics of personal destruction.

I can't think of any perfect people, just those who try, those who don't bother and those who criticize both.

No, it's an issue because this is one of the most overt liars running this year. One who has had a bizarre past and even more bizarre responses to everyday political questions.

It is also an issue because of her strong stance against masterbation and premarital sex. So when it turns out she did what she did, it's both an issue of concern for voters....and....LULZ

Since the person doing it is so concerned with what everyone else is doing in there's. This is the crux and very definition of Hypocrisy.

Progressives have always been concerned what goes on in other peoples bedrooms when they are politicians trying to push an agenda that affects what everyone else does in their bedrooms.

And as I stated before, this is the most overt liar running this year. For example she didn't just lie about her education, she just kept on making up lie after lie as each one was exposed.
So, she deserves whatever shit is handed to her. If she wasn't an overt liar many people would have given her a pass.

Hey, I'm a nice guy. If she starts her next ad with:
"I am not a graduate student, I have not really taken courses in international relations, I really didn't go to Oxford, etc"
I will then cut her some slack.

It's when one takes such an interest in what happens in others' bedrooms that one's own bedroom behavior becomes suspect.

I admit it. I had sex. And not just the missionary position. And I wasn't married.

No she can't. Premarital sex is immoral according to her. So is masturbation.

As I said before this "story" just proves she is more normal than I originally thought. It makes me cringe when politicians run on family values.

I am a pretty strong fiscal conservative, but there is no place for the government to tell us what our social morals should be.
