Tsurmi said Bush sometimes came late to class and often sat in the back row of the theater-like classroom, wearing a bomber jacket from the Texas Air National Guard and spitting chewing tobacco into a cup.

Albert Einstein was also considered a horrible student.
But as most are aware it's not what you do in school that counts- It's what you do after you graduate that counts. Albert went on to become one of the greatest thinkers in world history. George went on to become President of the Unites States of America.

What you do <i>sexually</i> in school may not count...but a lot of your character is revealed by how you conduct yourself in an academic setting. And I can't believe you're comparing Einstein to Bush. But then, the whole "Einstein was a bad student!" prop is pretty popular, almost as popular as comparing people to Hitler.

There is a negative philosophy of life here in parts of America, and it is shocking to me that it could exist in our country. With no remorse and great pride, it was explained to me in the 1980's.

If you get caught lying or doing something you are not supposed to do, you do two things:
