Christine O'Donnell Caught Lying Again About Education (*Update)

For almost 20 years Christine O'Donnell lied about having earned a bachelor's degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University. A degree that she was not officially awarded until just two months ago. But since 1991 she has numerous times listed it as her education qualification.

For nearly the same length of time she has lied about attending graduate school at Princeton. She actually tried to sue her former employer for millions using her Princeton education as proof she had substantial loss of wages. The facts are O'Donnell never attended Princeton.

Now Greg Sargent has tracked down the mystery of Christine O'Donnell's Linkedin bio listing her as having attended yet another prestigious university, Oxford. Yeah, she never stepped foot in that one either.  All lies.

The matter at hand here isn't whether or not she lies.  Or whether or not it's a pattern of lying, which it most assuredly is.  The matter at hand is O'Donnell is running a political campaign from the farthest of right wing corners as a born-again evangelical Christian that wants to legislate the Bible.  Yet in the most simplest of daily activity she can't seem to overcome bearing false witness, which she does to prop up her skills and experiences so she can run for the U.S. Senate where she hopes to legislate her self-perceived morality onto all of us. 

Lying is one thing.  But she's lying so she can win an election and legislate her view of the world, a view she obviously can't even abide by, onto American society. 

(h/t to Greg Sargent on this one, great work)

*Update:

Only the beginning...

Christine O'Donnell has a very difficult time telling the truth.  A radio producer in Los Angeles has uncovered yet another outright lie from O'Donnell concerning her education credentials.  In addition to listing University of Oxford as part of her education she also listed a graduate school in southern California that she, again, never attended.  Claremont Graduate University tells TPM they have no record of a Christine O'Donnell ever attending even though she listed it on her bio.  Also, keep in mind, she is claiming to have attended all these graduate schools doing course work without ever obtaining a bachelor's degree.  She just received her bachelor's two months ago.  There's no way she would ever be accepted into Oxford or Princeton, or even a small school like Claremont without first having completed her undergraduate studies.

Instead of worrying about legislating morality for other people she should focus on her own life first.  You know, the whole plank in your own eye thingy I'm sure I read in the Bible a time or two.
