George W's acceptance into undergraduate school by the ultra-selective Yale University admissions office can *only* be explained by his family connections.

His subsequent admission to the graduate school of business at Harvard is even harder to justify, given his performance at Yale. (That's assuming that the transcript is not a hoax.) Looks like nepotism really works, as long as one's connection is powerful enough.

W's most notable accomplishment in business was, as a baseball owner, to trade away Sammy Sosa. (Note to Brits and other non-followers of baseball: a truly boneheaded move.)
