The fact that Yale would award a degree to man such as George W. Bush -- who is known around the world for being a moron and a miserable failure (http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/biography.html) -- suggests that they are nothing more than a cleverly disguised diploma mill. :p

or uh...he got in because his dad went there and was an influential man? and then he graduated with average/below average grades anyway?

if you want to get into this, i think his admission to harvard business school is an even bigger crock of shit. i can understand him going to yale, really. it's expected. but then to do shitty there and get into a prestigious graduate program spits in the face of everything every hard working college student has done. all the nights spent studying for classes you hate and material you will never use, just to keep your gpa up to have a shot at going to a place like harvard business school, while everyone else has fun and screws around. bullshit.
