Our followup post referenced above discusses the origins of the “intellectual” appellation. The “Kerry is smart, Bush is dumb” meme was pervasive during the campaign. Do your own Google searches and see how many hits you get. The news is not Kerry’s grades per se; we don’t think you have to be an “A” student to be President, although it probably helps. What IS news is that the “Kerry’s bright” assumption was wrong, but some organizations like the LA Times can’t or won’t see a good story right in front of them.

When did Kerry make his “intellect” a “selling point” during the campaign? And even if he did, what would any of that have to do with his grades in college his first two years? No one cares about Bush’s grades at Yale; the reason he has a rep for being a moron is that he constantly does (and says) moronic things.

NC State, not UNC? Well, that sure explains the summa cum laude.

Great point regarding the SNL/late-night talk show fodder. Sitting here, I can almost visualize a “Dumb and Dumber” bit.

I find it odd that Kerry who touted his intelligence was an even worse student than Bush…. whereas, Edwards (who was more interested in “connecting” with voters saying he is a regular guy) graduated summa cum laude from UNC!
