I went to one, and that is what I have always been told. They certainly
don't admit someone who can't keep up with coursework just because he's a
good athlete. (You have to be the son of a president for that.)

which president/son are you alluding to?

Its a pity that after complimenting Wendy earlier in the day that she
throws in this gratuitous and unoriginal cheapo political shot over
from the UK.


she is absolutely correct to do so. GW Bush getting into, let alone
graduating, from Yale is as farcical as farces get.

if he was your son or my son he never would have got to first base at
yale.

instead, he would have had his ass on the firing line in Vietnam.
