Condoleezza Rice is a damned impressive human being. Wow!
You say "simply didn't bother to work or try hard" as though there's something wrong with that.
I had a couple of tremendous distractions during my undergraduate university tour: a full time job and the burgeoning Vietnam War. I also got mediocre grades due to not bothering to work hard enough to master lower priority material.
After participating in that war, my priorities were different and I went back for a 3 year university tour. Aced ALL the cources, 4.0 and sllightly mad because the 3 A+ course final grades didn't get any extra respect.
Some people let others set their priorities while others set their own. Academic performance is a poor indicator of a person's intelligence or common sense....
If I'm not mistaken, SAT scores range from 200 to 800 on each section (400 to 1600 combined). That makes the "average" score 1000, if the test is designed to fit a bell curve. A score of 1206 is definitely well above average, even if it's not at "Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius" level.
I am still awaiting my maturation.
Likewise, DeltaElite, likewise!
Al Gore beat Bush only slightly, I believe, which isn't much of an accomplishment, obviously...
Vlad, have you converted a 1965 SAT score of 1206 to what it would be in 1995?I wouldn't call 1206 "well above average," in any useful sense. Since such a score is FAR lower than is normal for acceptance at a top university. (unless you are a minority)
Belittle him all you want, but he is doing what needs to be done to protect us all and hopefully someday you will have the decency to thank him for protecting you.

I can never thank a man who has personally done so much damage to American liberty.
Funny, since many of those ideas started out in the Klinton admin.
Why does anyone take anything people in these professions say about the real world seriously?
Hey, I never said Clinton was better.
