Wikipedia's Bernie Sanders Fantasy

I noticed a few slight discrepancies between Bernie Sanders' history on wikipedia, and a few other publications. Here's one from his earlier life. Wikipedia:

"They married in 1964 and bought a summer home in Vermont; they had no children and divorced in 1966"

The Spectator:

"Sanders took his first bride to live in a maple sugar shack with a dirt floor, and she soon left him. Penniless, he went on unemployment."

A slight departure from the academic shills that maintain Wikipedia, isn't it?

Here's another whopper from Wikipedia:

"In 1968, Sanders moved to Vermont because he had been "captivated by rural life." After his arrival there he worked as a carpenter, filmmaker, and writer"

The Spectator:

"One of his first jobs was registering people for food stamps, and it was all downhill from there."
Sanders took his first bride to live in a maple sugar shack with a dirt floor, and she soon left him. Penniless, he went on unemployment. Then he had a child out of wedlock. Desperate, he tried carpentry but could barely sink a nail. “He was a shi**y carpenter,” a friend told Politico Magazine. “His carpentry was not going to support him, and didn’t.”
Then he tried his hand freelancing for leftist rags, writing about “masturbation and rape” and other crudities for $50 a story. He drove around in a rusted-out, Bondo-covered VW bug with no working windshield wipers. Friends said he was “always poor” and his “electricity was turned off a lot.” They described him as a slob who kept a messy apartment — and this is what his friends had to say about him."

By reading his Wikipedia history, you'd think he was a decent guy, married young and divorced, did some odd jobs and then straightened his life out. The reality was, that he was a bum, who couldn't hold down a job, support a wife, or make it in the private sector. So what does he do? He becomes a leftist politician, of course!

This is why the occupiers, millennials who are living in their mommy's basements, and all the rest of the entitled 48% that pay no income tax are feeling the Bern. And why they have lots of time to edit and control Wikipedia.
