See, The Thing Is Was, Senior Year Was Just Such A Blur For Me . . .

One day after she received a big endorsement from rising star Anthony Weiner, opposition research about CD11 candidate Yvette Clark emerges with its first hit. Oh, how did that get in the Post? Hmm, I wonder:

A Brooklyn congressional candidate said yesterday she forget that she never completed her college degree.

City Councilwoman Yvette Clarke, running in the 11th District, claims on the Campaign Finance Board Web site that she graduated from Ohio’s Oberlin College. But the Democrat, who also studied at Brooklyn’s Medgar Evers College, admitted yesterday to being two classes short of her BA.

“I spent much of the day today in contact with Oberlin College and Medgar Evers College to retrieve my academic records from two decades ago, convinced of my recollection that I had fulfilled the requirements for a bachelor’s degree,” Clarke said.

“Contrary to that recollection, I have now discovered that I remain two classes short of the requirements for my degree. This is an embarrassing moment for me, but I feel it is important to set the record straight.”

Next oppo steps: Check how crazy she sounded on the podcast (I haven’t listened to it). Or here (I’m pretty sure she was the only one who out and out said that only an African-American should run).
