WASHINGTON -- Some centrist Democrats may fret about front-runner Howard Dean's ability to match up to President Bush in a general election, but his college transcript sure could.
Bush, who graduated from Yale University in 1968, had a less-than-stellar record, with what the president described as "gentleman's Cs." Dean's transcript shows the political science major sailing through a slight sophomore slump to earn mostly high marks his last two years.

The transcript shows Howard Brush Dean III with a Park Avenue address and a course load reflective of those antiestablishment years. Dean took more than one class on Marxism and studied the "History of Soviet Union," "Soviet Foreign Policy," "International Communism" and "Chinese Politics."

Uh, yeah I'm sure his classes on Marxism were really rigorous. What a joke.
So let me get this straight....Doctor Dean, is sposed to be smart?????
Dean's freshman year in 1967 coincided with Yale's introduction of a less traditional grading system that replaced As and Bs with Hs and HPs, for "Honors" and "High Pass."
The letter F was still there, but Dean never got one. He earned seven honors, 17 high passes and 14 passes.
By my reckoning that is 7 A's, 17 B's and 14 C's making him a B minus student, at best.
