GREAT POST!!!
College:
I graduated from Yale University with a low C average.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha=
A bit more on YALE:
First of all, GW would have NEVER EVER been admitted to Yale had he not had rich parents and connected parents. They only needed to be really rich or connected, they were both.
Second, GW could not receive a grade lower than a "C" according to Yale policy. This means that had he put the same effort into his school work at any other "ordinary" college, he would have flunked out (and he would have done it faster than you can say, "Flunky W").
..................
"gentleman's C" is a phrase that originated at Oxford and Cambridge and meant a "C" grade given to a gentleman for doing very little work in a course. One could not, of course, embarrass a member of the nobility or gentry with a "D" or an "F."
..................
"In George W. Bush's day, the accommodation was called the "Gentleman's C." Those who received it acquired the "gentleman" designation not by virtue of behavior but by birth, and the "C" on their transcripts should never be interpreted as "average" for it usually indicated frequent absences from class, papers from the frat file that had been used two or three times, and blue books that revealed a stunning lack of contact with the course material. What did it matter anyway? These fellows would go on to a life of leisure or, at most, a job title in the family business that required skill with a 7-iron more than the ability to investigate or analyze.
No real harm was done by this system until Karl Rove liked the look of George W. Bush in cowboy boots and decided he could make him President. Now a nation that might have been amused by Bush's "Go Nads!" humor is waking up to the reality of having a "Gentleman's C" president."
