Yale grades portray Kerry as a lackluster student

In the last Presidential election the MSM portrayed John Kerry as a far superior intellect compared to George Bush.Maybe Kerry was a late bloomer,because at Yale he was nothing special:
Newly 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.
Bush got one D in his four years at Yale.Boston Globe
