Ha ha! I don't want to diminish the quality of these great schools, but yeah, the rich and connected can get admitted to them with substandard qualificatons, and they can get through with passing grades without much effort.

Honestly though, Bush is clearly not really an idiot or moron. My honest impression is that he is someone who is used to privilege and power and having connections get him through life. He wasn't ready to be president, so he relied on on advice of people who were willing to manipulate him for their own purposes. I don't think he is really even a bad guy inside, despite the despicable things he has done. I think he was weak and vulnerable after a lifetime of being coddled and he was used because of it.
