Why now?

CNN ran an article reporting that Bush and Kerry had similar grades during their time at Yale.

Sen. John F. Kerry's grade average at Yale University was virtually identical to President Bush's record there, despite repeated portrayals of Kerry as the more intellectual candidate during the 2004 presidential campaign.

I read that sentence to one of my co-workers and she said, "My dog would be considered more intellectual that Bush."

"Maybe he should go to Yale," I said.

So Kerry's a moron, too, eh?

In light of my recent complaints about the media, I just wonder why, eight months after the election, the press is telling us that Bush is as smart as Kerry, or, if your prefer, Kerry is as stupid as Bush? Now that Kerry has been defeated he's being devalued by the Democratic Party? Or is someone trying to elevate Bush's stature? Or is someone trying to put a dent in Bush's perceived popularity?Or is Kerry hoping to come across more as a common man for his next attempt at the White House?

More importantly, who cares?
