Another Christine O'Donnell embellishment: She misleadingly claims she studied at Oxford

[spotbird]

In another move that will raise further questions about Christine O'Donnell's embellishment of her education record, she claims she studied at the University of Oxford -- but a look at her actual record shows this is at best an exaggeration and at worst an outright falsehood.

O'Donnell's LinkedIn bio page lists "University of Oxford" as one of the schools she attended, claiming she studied "Post Modernism in the New Millennium." But it turns out that was just a course conducted by an institution known as the Phoenix Institute, which merely rented space at Oxford.

5. Hey now...

Miami U is a pretty good school.

[Roland99]

8. hehe

[Hepburn]

25. Totally agree ~~ I have at least two family members who graduated from there.

:hi:

[sonomak]

2. I think she meant Cambridge

the real Cambridge, not the Harvard town.

[nyc 4 Biden]

3. Or maybe as a student she wore oxford shirts...

4. Lafayette-Yalobusha Technical Center - Oxford?

It's in MS, but is located in Oxford, MS.

6. OXFORD - Right...

:rofl:

He graduated from Oxford Elementary School.

9. she's a f*ckin' GENIUS she is...

when a turd rises to the top of the bowl, she is a genius amongst turds.

Hence the Tea Party has itself a new leader.

All hail Turd O' Donnell, new queen of the Tea Party, the sheer weight of her turd-dom pushing Palin into the lower bowl for at least the next 2 months.

11. It shoulld have read "They studied HER at Oxford"

[Doctor_J]

19. She does belong in some course on abnormal psychology

Delusions of sanity, a messiah complex, sexual retentiveness, and of course witchcraft.

[brooklynite]

12. You pointy-headed intellectuals have it all wrong...

What she meant was that she studied at the Oxford Valley Mall in nearby Pennsylvania -- probably in the Food Court.

13. Oxford, KY?

14. Has she ever gone to England in the first place?

In fact, I was surprised that she even left the country at all, let alone to England.

[pinboy3niner]

15. Well, she's never been to England...

But she kinda likes the Beatles
Well she headed for Las Vegas
Only made it out to Lidos;
Can you feel it?
Must be real it...
Feels so good.
Oh, it feels so good.

With apologies to Three Dog Night ("Never Been to Spain") :)

16. Reminds me of a book I have, "The UFO conference at MIT"

...or something like that.

The organizers rented a classroom. The first two pages of the book are legal gibberish saying no way no hell was MIT involved in any way except renting the classroom.

17. I Thought Conservos Were Against Higher Education

but it won't stop them from being posers.

[Doctor_J]

20. only math and science at places like Berkely and MIT

"Post- modernism" at the Phoenix Institute is fine.

[Doctor_J]

18. Oxford MS has a U

So does Oxford OH. That one after "Mission Accomplished" had a big pic for Smirk with the caption "Our savior"

[jberryhill]

21. Oxford is just a few miles northwest of Newark, Delaware

Nice little town, and probably a real quiet place to study.

22. So, Christine O'Donnell, a woman who said she wouldn't lie to save Jews from Nazis, has lied...

...about her academic credentials. Just amazing.

[MattyGroves]

23. My wife opted not to hire an applicant when she found out the applicant lied about her education

The applicant was perfectly qualified for the job on hand but the company opted not to hire her once they discovered the falsehood.

Meanwhile, O'Donnell, who doesn't appear to be qualified to be dogcatcher, has been caught out in several lies and yet the teabaggers continue to defend her and plan on voting for her.

Pretty sad comment on the affairs of politics.

24. She meant Oxnard- easy mistake

26. I had time to kill in Cambridge once, so I read a newspaper on a lawn at Harvard

Guess I'd better go add a line to my CV... Thanks, Christine!
