Oh, so a lefty rag which could never find anything wrong with the Manchurian Candidate Obama wants to know about JK.

Yeah, that’s some amazing and objective journalism.

I was a less than stellar high school student as well. A short 22 years later, I graduated from college Summa Cum Laude.

Not bad for an idiot like myself, I’d say...

I have to admit, though, that I would not be dressed like that in Iraq. The vest, yes, but the rest of the outfit would be a lot more casual if not downright blue collar.

I don't think it's fair to criticize this guy for how he got into Harvard. As others have said here, it's very common for wealthy people to get their kids into Ivy League schools this way.

I do, however, think it's fair to point this out when addressing claims that Jared Kushner is some kind of brilliant guy whose role in the Trump administration is indispensable. He's not a brilliant guy, and if he wasn't married to Trump's daughter most people here would never hear of him.

That photo really makes him look like a world-class goober, though -- doesn't it? LMAO.

My husband was the same. High school bored him and he was too conservative to fit in there.

After 22 years you probably already had a PhD. from the School of Hard Knox.

In one of the Twitter comments on that photo, someone suggested that Steve Bannon told Kushner how to dress for the trip — and even gave him an undersized flak jacket to wear. LMAO.

thanks for the post. i didn’t know that Kushner’s dad had served hard time for serious federal crimes. according to the article.

“Charles Kushner differed from his peers on the committee in another way: he had a criminal record. Five years after Jared entered Harvard, the elder Kushner pleaded guilty in 2004 to tax violations, illegal campaign donations and retaliating against a witness.”

this guy and his family is going to bear close watching.
