Ten Things You Didn't Know About Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

“has a less checkered track record than Hitler, who never graduated from high school, and failed in his various studies thereafter.”

Sounds like al gore. ;-)

Gore attended the elite St. Albans School where he ranked 25th (of 51) in his senior class.[10] In preparation for his college applications, Gore scored a 1355 on his SAT (625 in verbal and 730 in math). [10] Al Gore’s IQ scores, from tests administered at St. Alban’s School in 1961 and 1964 (his freshman and senior years) respectively, have been recorded as 133 and 134. [10]

In 1965, Gore enrolled at Harvard College, the only university to which he applied. His roommate (in Dunster House) was actor Tommy Lee Jones. He scored in the lower fifth of the class for two years in a row[11] and, after finding himself bored with his classes in his declared English major, Gore switched majors and found a passion for government and graduated with honors from Harvard in June 1969 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in government. [10] After returning from the military he took religious studies courses at Vanderbilt and then entered the university’s law school. He left Vanderbilt without a degree when he left to run for an open seat in Tennessee’s 3rd Congressional District in 1976.

What’s funny about Gore, though, is that his promoters burnished his image as a “scholar” vs George “Chimpy” Bush, but, as the Washington Post article is forced to acknowledge:

“His generally middling college grades at Harvard in fact bear a close resemblance to the corresponding Yale marks of his presidential opponent, George W. Bush, whose studiousness and brainpower have been more open to question during this campaign.”

“Look... take your propaganda elsewhere.”

One does not need to be infatuated with one’s enemies to have a sober assessment of their track record. In fact, it’s essential to being properly prepared to whip their butts, and to not being blindsided by comebacks you deemed impossible because you prematurely dismissed them as “3rd rate clowns”.
