ANOTHER College Denies Christine O'Donnell Attended Despite Her Claim Another university is bringing Christine O'Donnell's self-professed education history into question Wednesday, as Claremont Graduate University, a school that the Delaware Senate candidate claims she attended, has told Talking Points Memo that they have no record of her being there. "Claremont Graduate University has no student or education record for an individual named Christine O'Donnell," Rod Leveque, a spokesman for Claremont told TPM Tuesday, despite O'Donnell's inclusion of the school on her LinkedIn education history. A similar response had been given earlier to blogger and radio producer Gary Scott, who thought to inquire based on the news that O'Donnell had not even officially received her undergraduate degree from Farleigh Dickinson University until earlier this month. TPM did a little digging and found that her campaign site might give a more accurate depiction of her involvement with a conservative think tank called the Claremont Institute, which has no relationship to the Claremont Graduate University that she has filed under the education section of her LinkedIn profile. A search of the website finds that O'Donnell did receive a Lincoln Fellowship from the Institute in 2002, though her inclusion of the word "graduate" seems to raise a few questions, as it goes unmentioned on the award's description. On Tuesday, Greg Sargent of the Washington Post reported that O'Donnell had also filed "University of Oxford" on the education section of her LinkedIn profile, when the true nature of her tenure there appears to be as a student of a Phoenix Institute course that had simply rented out space at the school. These two new discrepancies also come in the wake of an earlier controversy surrounding O'Donnell's relationship with a former employer, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, and her taking of courses at Princeton University. O'Donnell ended up suing ISI for $150,000, claiming lost "earning power" due to the fact that they had not given her ample time to complete coursework at the university. At the time she had only audited one undergraduate class.

More rope, please! {{{chuckle}}}
Well look what we have here: 'Explosive Allegations' To Be Leveled Against Whitman' By: CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney (CNN) – Beware the nanny. California GOP gubernatorial nominee Meg Whitman is facing a new hurdle Wednesday as her housekeeper of nine years prepares to make what are being called "explosive allegations" about the former eBay CEO. The housekeeper has hired famed attorney Gloria Allred, and will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. ET to "tell how she suffered as a long time Latina household employee in Meg Whitman's home and why she is filing a claim against Ms. Whitman," according to a statement released by Allred's office. Whitman has previously beat back allegations she was involved in a 2007 shoving altercation with an employee at eBay's California headquarters after the Silicon Valley chief felt unprepared for an upcoming media interview. The incident reportedly led to a $200,000 settlement. Rest of the story: politicalticker.blogs.cnn...gations-may-rock-ca-race/

it's amazing just how desperate the democrats are, no one is going to believe this silly last minute scandal crap and Allred's involvement demonstrates it's complete bullshit.
(chuckle) Grasping at straws being held by Gloria Alred? Lmao.
Meg Whitman has some explaining to do on illegal immigrant housekeeper Pardon me, but I have a few questions here on California's tough-on-immigration gubernatorial candidate, Meg Whitman, who seems to have had an illegal immigrant in her house for nine years. TalkBackLopez_187x105Is that not the stuff of great fiction? Whitman says the housekeeper, Nicandra Diaz, had passed herself off as legal and had papers to back her up. All right. That's believable. Whitman says the woman acknowledged in 2009 that she was undocumented, fearing that the truth would be dug up in the heat of the campaign. All right, maybe. Whitman and her husband were shocked, says Whitman, and immediately fired the housekeeper. Also believable, even though the housekeeper claims, through attorney Gloria Allred, that Whitman knew she didn't have papers. But wait a minute. The no-nonsense candidate who opposes a path to legal citizenship, and wants the government to go after businesses that hire illegal immigrants, didn't feel the need to report the housekeeper to authorities when she confessed? What did she think might happen? That the housekeeper would go back where she came from? That someone else would hire her not knowing she was illegal? Or did she maybe think to herself, privately, of course, that the housekeeper was a decent person trying to live a better life in a country where wealthy people like Whitman are all too happy to hire them, and not terribly inclined to probe their backgrounds? What did the Whitmans pay the housekeeper, by the way? Did they offer health insurance, or let the public pick up the tab at a county hospital, which many illegal immigrants use as a doctor's office. Do the Whitmans have any other domestics whose papers should be checked? Does Jerry Brown? Help me out, readers. Anybody out there have any more questions for Meg? -- Steve Lopez http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/09/steve-lopez-meg-whitman-has-some-explaining-to-do-on-illegal-immigrant-housekeeper.html
The housekeeper has hired famed attorney Gloria Allred, Ya just GOTTA love a lead in like that. That is the equivalent of saying "famed humanitarian Joseph Stalin.....",except that Stalin was more competent. What is she famous for,other than holding press conferences to throw grenades and then settling out of court? Name the famous court cases she has tried before a jury and won. She has such a abrasive personality and the obvious charm of a rattlesnake in heat that I'd love to see her try a jury trial. She'd piss off the jury so badly they would never be able to successfully defend The Baby Jesus against rape and murder charges. and will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. ET to "tell how she suffered as a long time Latina household employee in Meg Whitman's homeL Yeah,that's why she only worked there for 9 years,right? and why she is filing a claim against Ms. Whitman," according to a statement released by Allred's office. No,she is filing a claim because she has been PAID to file a claim by the Dims,and because Allred has told her that Whitman is low-hanging fruit against bogus charges like this because she is in the middle of a campaign and doesn't have the time to waste going to trial,so will settle out of court to get her to shut up. The illegal alien (BTW,WHY is she still here?) wins because she gets money for nothing and has most likely been guaranteed she will get a Green Card by the DNC. Allred wins because once again she gets to jump in front of a camera,gets paid for really doing nothing,and has no actual clients she needs to defend anyhow,so crap like this helps her fill her days. The DNC wins because no matter if the housekeeper admits she was lying and shuts up,the typical voter will remember the charges were made,not the details of how it ended. Hell,in the long run,even Whitman may win. IMHO she is a total waste of oxygen,but having people like Allred working against her in public would be enough to get me to the polls to vote for her if I lived in Ca. There just might be a backlash to this that the Dims didn't count on.
