She notes that the press praised Gore for being smart and Bush for being dumb, although:
:In his sophomore year at Harvard, Gore got one D, one C-minus, two Cs, two C-pluses, and one B-minus. This the ''Washington Post'' reported, "placed him in the bottom fifth of th eclass for the second year in a row."(37) Gore's grades that year "were lower than any semester recorded on bush's transcript from Yale".
Yet the ''Post'' ran a headline saying, "Gore's Grades ... are a Lot Like Bush's". (38)
However,
:After college, Bush earned an M.B.A. from Harvard; Gore failed out of divinity school and dropped out of law school at Vanderbilt University. (Page 156)
