Read on, and enjoy.

Anti-intellectualism?! A candidate makes excuses for bad grades and the entire f--king party is anti-intellectual? Apparently neither you nor Dowd have been keeping up, Palin is on virtually no one's radar and Perry is dropping in the polls.

BTW, I've heard some of the dumbest comments uttered by any politician in history come out of the VP's mouth but no mention of that in the NYTimes op-ed.

That's called intellectual dishonesty. We are definitely against that!

One more thing: GW Bush got better grades at Harvard than Kerry did.

In a dream last week god told me he wants the anti-intellectuals to be in control of everything, or else he will release a plague of locusts on America.

And, of course, no one knows what obama's grades were. We only know he's the smartest person ever and he can do no wrong to the Dowd Crowd.

It's about time that America arrest all those traitors and send them off to jail to await execution! What are we waiting for?

If it was not done in the last 8 years, don't expect it to happen now

Of course not! Nor do I have a copy of any other president's. I've seen some college transcripts of Bush, Kerry and Perry, b/c they were leaked. I've never seen any other presidents' or any other candidates' transcripts, report cards, etc. I would LOVE to see Sarah Palin's transcripts, but she has never released them.

The "Obama sealed his grades" thing is part of the birther package.
