My Guy is Smarter than Your Guy
Well, it turns out President Bush is marginally smarter than his opponent in the last election, Senator Kerry, if you measure by a final grade at Yale University of 77 compared to Kerry's 76, as reported in the Boston Globe yesterday.
Now, some may make a lot of this especially since Kerry and his supporters were so eager to paint him as an intellectual and Bush as an ignorant goof-off. What I'm more concerned about is that the American people only get to choose between two lame C-students for the most important job in the world! Of course, that was long ago when they were both young and foolish and college grades don't tell everything about a person. Brilliant people don't necessarily make good leaders, either, but c'mon, we should be getting better quality candidates than this. I say we raise the standard to B- for the next election.
