Kerry's Yale Record
Remember that Democratic candidate who was said to be so smart? An over-achiever at Yale? But who refused to disclose his grades?
Well, yesterday they arrived. Funny thing. It seems like he was as much of an under-achiever as that taunted guy from the same college, from which Kerry tried to get an office. Full story here.
Kerry's cumulative average (on a scale of 100) for his four college years was 76, saved by some "high" B grades in pol sci (89) and various lighter scientific areas. His freshman year earned him a grade point average of 71!
I got an average of 87 in my freshman college year at Bishop's in courses that were by far more demanding than the tender teachings Kerry slept through. (And yes, I improved my grades after that.) Not that I would ever blow my own horn... erhm... like, say, a certain somebody did during his entire campaign.
Btw, isn't there an old Shakespeare play on the theme of Kerry's record? Much ado about nothing?
