Ummm, of course Michael Morre must have meant Yale, the alma mater of several
generations of Bush men including Prescott Bush, ex President George Bush and
the current President GW Bush. One wonders how many other factual inaccuracies
are contained in Moore's article.

ABout the same percentage as were in "Bowling for Columbine," which
started off with one in the title...

(The two gunmen were supposedly bowling for physical education class
before they shot up the school, but they ditched that class, so the
whole movie was off on the wrong foot and got worse from there...)

That's interesting. Are there any other factual inaccuracies that you know
of in Moore's latest article?

Half accurate. Pres. Bush has a BA from Yale and an MBA from Harvard.
