Breaking News from NewsMax.com 'Moron' Bush Beat Kerry at Yale President Bush, who is routinely derided as a "moron" by embittered Democrats, earned slightly better grades at Yale University than Sen. John Kerry, the supposed Massachusetts intellectual. According to college transcripts from the top Ivy League school obtained by the Boston Globe, Kerry was well on his way to flunking out during his freshmen year, receiving no fewer than four D's. Kerry's intellectual deficit revealed itself in geology, two history courses and, most surprisingly for a top politician, political science. "I always told my dad that D stood for distinction," the failed presidential candidate told reporters. He showed a slight improvement in subsequent semesters, topping out with an 81 average his senior year. Kerry had a cumulative average of 76, or what some might call "a gentleman's C." The president received just one D in his freshman year - a 69 in astronomy - to Kerry's four. His cumulative grade point average was 77 - a point higher than Kerry's. Last year, when an analysis of Kerry's Navy aptitude test showed that Bush actually had a higher IQ, the top Democrat blamed his lackluster performance on drinking. "I must have been drinking the night before I took that military aptitude test," Kerry told NBC anchorman Tom Brokaw. President Bush suffered the same type of derision during the 2000 campaign, when critics regularly portrayed him as intellectually inferior to Al Gore. Gore attended divinity school after graduating from Yale. But transcripts from Vanderbilt University showed that he received F's in five of the eight classes he took over the course of three semesters. Gore left Vanderbilt without receiving a degree. * <http://cl.exct.net/open.aspx?ffcc17-fe9515727063017b75-fe2816777c67077f7411 77> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
