In all fairness, his blunder seems pretty boneheaded, considering he was a history major in college. However, he earned a law degree and passed the bar - not sure how many tries he had at it. My son's a lawyer and I can tell you this - they don't hand out JD's easily, it comes with much effort. Passing the bar is also not a cakewalk. Here's Wiki's run down on his educational background:
In 1961, Biden graduated from Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware[3 and, in 1965, from the University of Delaware in Newark,[5] where he double-majored in history and political science.[3] He went on to receive his J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law in 1968, and was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1969.
Here's Palin's, same source:
In 6 years Palin attended at least 5 colleges and transfered multiple times. None of the colleges she attended had entrance requirements. It is unclear why she transfered so many times.
Her grades have not been publicly reported.
Palin attended Hawaii Pacific College in Hilo, Hawaii, in 1982 for a semester, where she majored in Business Administration, and transferred in 1983 to North Idaho College for the 1983-1984 school year. After transferring again in 1984, Palin received a Bachelor of Science degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho in 1987, where she also minored in political science.
Actually she attended 6 colleges prior to graduating with a degree in journalism.
