During last year's presidential campaign, John F. Kerry was the candidate often portrayed as intellectual and complex, while George W. Bush was the populist who mangled his sentences.
But newly released records show that Bush and Kerry had a virtually identical grade average at Yale University four decades ago.
Bush had received a cumulative score of 77 for his first three years at Yale and a roughly similar average under a non-numerical rating system during his senior year.
Kerry, who graduated two years before Bush, got a cumulative 76 for his four years, according to a transcript that Kerry sent to the Navy when he was applying for officer training school. He received four D's in his freshman year out of 10 courses, but improved his average in later years.

He almost failed Geology, eh? And I always thought his head was full of rocks.
Kerry Ping
Kerry never made the grade...in or out of school.
Doom on that poser !
ROTFLMYKWO!
Just as we suspected.
bump
Congressman Billybob, I thought you might find this article interesting esepcially considering you were a classmate of John Kerry at Yale.
"The transcript shows that Kerry's freshman-year average was 71. He scored a 61 in geology, a 63 and 68 in two history classes, and a 69 in political science. His top score was a 79, in another political science course. Another of his strongest efforts, a 77, came in French class"
He is not even a strong french student..FRAUD!
Am I just sleepy or do I detect a pattern here???
Y'all will love this. Just as we suspected!
Good summary.
"Lackluster" is a very appropriate word to describe him in everything.
Well, I had noticed that, despite his notoriety, Kerry didn't get into any Ivy League law schools.
Mr. Kerry, you were supposed to take Geography, not Geology, if you want to rule the world!
WOULD YOU BELIEVE THE GLOBE JUST CHANGED THE TITLE FROM
"Yale grades portray Kerry as a lackluster student", (which is what it was a few minutes ago, when I posted this thread),
TO:
"Transcript shows Kerry's Yale grades similar to Bush"
Oops, I guess not -- they apparently have two very similar articles in the globe.
The one I postes still has the same title:
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2005/06/07/yale_grades_portray_kerry_as_a_lackluster_student/
And the other:
http://www.boston.com/news/politics/primaries/massachusetts/articles/2005/06/07/transcript_shows_kerrys_yale_grades_similar_to_bush/
It sounds like neither one of them, Bush OR Kerry, were rocket scientist material...
Kerry didn't give a s---. He thinks he has a silver tongue that can BS his way into or out of anything.
