Going by grade point averages and grades alone can be extremely misleading. I can maintain 4.0 and take the easiest classes possible (classes that basically just refresh what I learnt in high school) especially my first 2 years, while you take the hardest classes (classes totally new to you) and get a 2.0. So this truly means nothing to me as it doesn't say which classes either took.
Honestly, while I think Bush nor Kerry are geniuses, to EVEN be admitted to Yale, makes me believe they are not idiots either.
As for Bush, even if his dad did pull strings to get him into Yale, he had to have been pretty smart. Now the years following, with his admitted alcoholic tendencies, he probably destroyed a lot of brain cells. Plus, as we get older if we don't exercise our brains and keep learning it does turn to mush and our recall of what we have learnt is slower and becomes more vague.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
