"President George W. Bush: Received a Bachelors Degree from Yale University and an MBA from Harvard Business School."

Great article.

I went to a Christmas party last year that was monopolized by a Dem spouting off. One of her claims was that "Shrub got into Harvard only because he got a scholarship from his mother's foundation."

I assume she was saying he bought his way in, and would not have been qualified to get in otherwise.

So, no matter what credentials are brought up, the Dems just shrug them off as fake. *Sigh*

That would be a neat trick since the Barbara Bush Foundation Scholarship was started in 1988, and is only $250-$500 per student.

W didn't just "get into Harvard," with or without his mother's influence. W earned an MBA from Harvard. People can (and do) get into prestigious schools because of influence, affirmative action, fame, money, etc. They graduate because they successfully complete the course of study.

Seems to me you need to be more picky about who you hang around with at parties.
