Kerry's grades vs Bush's grades...
I saw a snip on CNN this morning that highlighted some of Kerry's Primary School years.

Above average grades (in all classes) Some class grades high enough to qualify him as an Honor Student.

Correspondence between parents and school.... says that John was friendly mostly well behaved..... was sowing a few wild oats but the school was practicing "gentle repression" (He was grounded or given KP). The next exchange noted changes in his behavior.... someone wanted off punishment. ;-)

Then they talked about Bush.... the only comment was.... average gardes.... never made honor roll anywhere, ever.

1. And you know Bush* never suffered consequences.
Daddy bailed him out of everything.

2. I'm convinced he must have had Daddy buy his grades at Yale too; no
way is this cretin intelligent enough to have pulled Cs at a school with its high standards...

3. "Gentlemen's C's"
I was a T.A. at Yale during graduate school, and I know that my supervising professor changed the grades I gave to some of the upper class slackers in my class.

I think the word gets out to the professors: you don't flunk the son or daughter of a wealthy donor.

4. I Heard Kerry Stopped Paying Attention His Last Year
And spent most of his time flying airplanes. Before he went off to Vietnam, apparently he tried to loop the Golden Gate Bridge.

6. Too bad - Edwards graduated at top
High honors from North Carolina State University.
Order of the Coif (top 10%) at UNC Law School.

Like Avis, he had to work harder.
