Does the american thinker have any problems with Bush43 getting admitted into Yale with "C"s and "D" from boarding school in Connecticut. Or getting admitted into Harvard MBA with a 2.7 GPA in History at Yale? Originally Posted by adav8s28Maybe you should ask them...
I'm not defending Bush43 but while we're on this topic, do you have any problems with Al Gore's pisspoor academic record? You remember Al, dontcha? He's the guy Bushie beat back in 2000!
Here is how one commentator summed up Gore's academic creds:
"At Harvard Mr. Gore's grades were for years lower than those Bush earned at Yale. Classmates remembered Gore, The Washington Post reported in 2000, spending 'a notable amount of time' shooting pool, watching television and 'occasionally smoking marijuana.'
Gore (whose [confessional?] new book is titled 'The Assault on Reason'), according to The Washington Post, 'avoided all courses in mathematics and logic throughout college.'
His grades at Harvard were pathetic, especially for someone who today holds himself up as the national arbiter of scientific issues. As a sophomore he got a D in Natural Sciences, and only a C-plus in another low level Natural Sciences course his senior year. In Economics — yet another field in which Gore has exhibited lifelong ignorance — he earned a C-minus.
For two of his four years at Harvard, Gore ranked in the bottom fifth of his class academically.
After squeaking through Harvard, Gore returned to Tennessee and, after flunking out of its Divinity School, entered but failed to earn a degree from Vanderbilt University Law School."
