Hey,when you are a liberal, it doesn't matter whether you are correct, as long as you believe in the "right" things!

I think education is great.

It's also why I think it's hilarious that Al Gore received a D in natural sciences, the idiot Bush had better grades than the smart and haughty John Kerry, and the genius Obama doesn't understand basics of Constitutional law, which he taught.

I find it all ironic, amusing and illuminating, all at the same time. Don't you?
D's in everything? Really?
Seems like you know everything, what's anyone else need?

Liberals love those Ivy League Schools.....put them up on pedestals....proclaim greatness from their graduates. It's an interesting dichotomy considering they take pride in these "scholars of academia" while hating rich people who are "scholars of business" and are many times Ivy League grads themselves. I often wonder how they reconcile the hypocrital oath of pride and envy that they push into the American psyche.

There is so much irony in that paragraph, I think I now need chelation therapy.

Feel free to spell it out. I bet you can't do it with any cogency.

Funny a D is not an issue when it is a beloved liberal icon like that sweat machine. Bush getting a C grade at Harvard raised the rabble a few years ago...but then again he was a R.

I can't speak for that class or Gore, but kids who get straight A's are not pushing their personal envelopes. I sometimes learned the most in classes with the lowest grades. It is healthy to step outside the comfort zone.

If this is meant to imply that Gore knows nothing about AGW, I think it is a tenuous link at best.
