When asked what we should do if Fed Chairman Greenspan were
to go to heaven, then Presidential candidate McCane quipped:

Have you seen the movie "Weekend at Bernies." 

Well if you didn't, and probably not, you won't get it
but...

Yes, having read Sasuly and now half the way along in Hayes,
have not read Dubois but apparently P did look into it
(Hite) and it would make sense that he would also find on
the NYPL shelf at the time, The Riddle of the Rhine (NY,
1923), and with not a little knowledge of Wall Street and so
on, I find that Bush Bashing Biography irrational and
unbalanced sneering. 

BTW, I can't find Bill Clinton's SAT scores. I was able to
put them together once, Clinton, Bradley, Gore, and W Bush,
and I believe W scored higher on the Verbal, not the math.
There was an interesting article on Affirmative action at
Princeton and how they may have influenced Bill Bradley's
application, but I can't find it now, but my point was not
about SAT scores or IQ scores, not that I did not appreciate
the humor of the poem posted or the poster, but that I think
attacking Bush's language difficulties is problematic.
