At least he hasn't demonstrated his inability to spell.

That explains your position. Once a Grammar cop always a grammar cop.

Seriously though. I pretty well discount grades in school. Some of the more productive people who work with me spent a lot of time socializing in college (beer, women, fraternities, etc.) and what they learned was how to interact with other people. I think the published SAT for GWB is 1207 (taken once with 566Verbal & 640Math). If you correct for the 1996 recentering (see table here) it would equate to 1313 today.

Obviously his verbal skills are not up to your standards ... but whose are?
