bush beats kerry, again

the common wisdom during last year's campaign was kerry obviously outpointed bush in the smarts department. for example, a duke prof ariel dorfman lamented

Is John Kerry too intelligent to be president of the United States?

meanwhile, Jayson Blair enabler Howell Raines chimes in

Does anyone in America doubt that Kerry has a higher IQ than Bush? I'm sure the candidates' SATs and college transcripts would put Kerry far ahead.

an analysis of relatively strong test scores including military iq/aptitude tests taken by bush and kerry didn't much deter the conventional wisdom. but now the transcripts that Raines was convinced would prove kerry smarter....

well, they don't... gentleman's c average for both (with bush actually a bit higher)
