It would have been crushing if McCain or Romney would have produced their college transcripts during a presidential debate,

Well, McCain graduated eighth from the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy, so he certainly wouldn't have wanted to go there.

Not really an issue.

Bottom of the class, top of the class, all are equal on day of graduation.

Heck, even can make fun such class standing if done right. . .and even used It to prove his ‘maverick’ credentials because he was a maverick at the academy and paid for it by earning a low class standing.

(He is a jerk, no question, but he could have spun it easily).

First time I've heard that; however, it does not surprise me.

It is hard to believe that there were actually 7 (Seven?) naval officers dumber than Ensign McAnus. He was dumb enough, however, to be famous in naval aviation circles as the guy who kept getting lost over the ....Chesapeake.

There were not 7 naval officers who ever had a worse disciplinary record than this wild, disorderly, sloppy, and often absent booze-hound. Had the NVA figured this out in time, they would have harmed our war effort by releasing him sooner.

It’s already a pretty elite group who gets into the Naval Academy.

That is almost below whale crap at the bottom of the ocean.
