Another Chance to Choose

Examining the Yale photos below, Vilmar at Ranting Right Wing Howler asks some "hypothetical questions":




Who would you trust running your business?

Who would you trust with your daughter?

Who positively scares the crap out of you?

White Lightning Axiom says, "I look at that Kerry pic and I hear banjo music."

By the way, according to the Boston Globe:
[N]ewly released records show that Bush and Kerry had a virtually identical grade average at Yale University four decades ago.

In 1999, The New Yorker published a transcript indicating that 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.

The grade transcript, which Kerry has always declined to release, was included in his Navy record.
My question: Why did anyone support the guy on the left?

Frankenstein versus Peter Pan!

But let's blame the photographers. The first for bad lighting and not telling Kerry to "shut up" for once; you're not running for the Presidency . . . yet. The second for failing to "photoshop" (or the equivalent back then) the unibrow and pointy ears.

Still, based on the pictures alone (and we're NOT going to do that are we?), our President easily gets the edge, perhaps better than 51% to 48%.

Carl,

The freakin' banjo music. The horrah. Very funny. How does he hold his mouth that way, any way?

Studies show that doing that will make you put an "r" at the end of words that end in "a" ... i.e. "idear".

Lets see...

1)Bush has run three separate business into the ground. (business goes to Kerry)

2)Bush was drinking heavily and using drugs. (I don't know what kind of father you are, but my daughter is going out with Kerry)

3) yeah, ok... the picture of Kerry is pretty bad.

As for the grade, the fact that they had the same score after 3 years shows this... Kerry had a very bad first year (for whatever reason), but then got his ass in gear and excelled. Bush, on the other hand, was average the entire time.

Dingo:

1) Kerry never ran a business--instead, he twice married money. So what's your point?

2) Drinking--yes. Drugs--BS. Slander without citation is not acceptable.

3) Agreed.

4) What don't you understand about "got a cumulative 76 for his four years?" The average grades of Bush and Kerry were essentially identical for their entire time at Yale.
