Remember When Bush's College Records Were a Big Deal?

 by Puddleglum

I know it would wound Romney to make a big deal out of college records at this point because it would stigmatize him as a "birther," but I can't help but reflect upon when the media made a big deal about Bush's college transcripts a few elections ago. The hypocrisy is astounding. We have so much more to learn from Obama's records than we did from Bush's.
With Bush the questions basically were "Was he a drunken frat boy who barely squeaked by?" "Did Daddy pull strings to get you into school?" "Will his grades help us prove he was/is dumber than Mensa-level Al Gore?"
With Obama the questions are "How did you get into Columbia?" "How did you get into Harvard?" "Can we please have objective, third-party confirmation of your vitae?" "Can we have something other than your ghost-written memoirs to let us know what shaped you and whether the man you present yourself as now has changed (or has not changed) radically from the man you were in college, and if so, what motivated the change?"
I know Obama meant nothing by the transparency "malarky" (vocabulary hat tip to Uncle Joe) that he spouted four years ago, but the man is unvetted.
I cannot figure out how or who should ask the question "Where's the college records?" Romney had the chance to do so with a little ju-jitsu when he was dogged about the tax returns, but that has passed.
