Former Temp-Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin delivered her long-awaited academic address at California State University at Stanislaus on Friday, raising $200,000 for a private foundation run by university employees. While the university’s books are open to the public, the foundation’s records are not. A bill before the state legislature seeks to correct that anomaly.
Ms. Palin entertained the $500-a-plate crowd by ridiculing the enterprising Stanislaus students who unearthed parts of her speaking contract in a campus dumpster. Sarah Palin would never have used such tactics at any of the five schools she attended in her six-year college career.
Sarah Palin got her own college degree in Journalism, and the best review of her speech came from her fellow professionals. An open microphone from the local Fox affiliate picked up reporters and cameramen calling it dumb.
