Maybe you should amend that...

What makes you think that Bush was something special in those schools? Those places are crawling with so called "prestigious" kids. Those aren't easy schools to attend. I don't know what grades he got. But just for arguments sake, lets say he did just pass. Just passing and obtaining a degree from those schools is an achievement. They are just plain tough.
I have a cousin who has an MBA from a 'prestigious' west coast school. I won't name the school because I don't mean to insult anyone here. The point being, my cousin can't spell worth a s(*&t. Nor can he form a decent sentence. Most schools out there aren't on the level of Yale and Harvard for alot more reasons than their lack of Ivy on the walls.
Also if this line of your thinking were to be followed through with....We would have to classify Stephen Hawking as a moron. Stephen declared himself the "poster child for underachievers" before he got Lou Gehrig's disease.

<< Paid degrees from both Harvard and Yale. C's and D's at Yale got him into Harvard Business School? >>

Both with a rich athletic heritage.

Well Harvard plays some hockey, and Yale Bowl ain't a bad place to kick back on a Saturday afternoon.

Crew?
