"John
Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004 was hobbled by outrageous attacks
on his war record, which Kerry might have been able to bury by
releasing all his Navy records. He wouldn’t, until long after the race
was over. Then reporters discovered that everything about his military
career was exactly as Kerry had portrayed it. The only news was in his
college transcript, which was included in the file and pretty dismal.
I’ve always wondered if the entire course of modern American history
would have turned out different if John Kerry had not wanted to conceal
the fact that his academic performance at Yale was worse than George W.
Bush’s."
