The John Kerry Post of the Day

My latest discovery about my favorite cheese-eating surrendermonkey-looking Ketchup King cum former Presidential candidate:

Plenty of the Ketchup King's supporters derided President Bush as stupid, and held up his apparently mediocre track record in college as proof. Perhaps they should have checked John-Boy's grades as well...

Sen. John F. Kerry's grade average at Yale University was virtually identical to President Bush's record there, despite repeated portrayals of Kerry as the more intellectual candidate during the 2004 presidential campaign.

Kerry had a cumulative average of 76 and got four Ds his freshman year - in geology, two history courses and political science, The Boston Globe reported Tuesday.

His grades improved with time, and he averaged an 81 his senior year and earned an 89 _ his highest grade _ in political science as a senior.

...In 1999, The New Yorker magazine published a transcript showing Bush had a cumulative grade average of 77 his first three years at Yale, and a similar average under a non-numerical rating system his senior year.

Bush's highest grade at Yale was an 88 in anthropology, history and philosophy. He received one D in his four years, a 69 in astronomy, and improved his grades after his freshman year, the transcript showed.

(hat tip: Ankle Biting Pundits) I'm only jealous of Bush for being under a "non-numerical rating system" his senior year. Obviously, I'm not impressed by either guy's grades -- it's not like Yale is Harvard or anything.
