"His former Harvard Business School professor recalls George W. Bush not 
just as a terrible student but as spoiled, loutish and a pathological liar."

...

Harvard Business School's rigorous teaching methods, in which the 
professor interacts aggressively with students, and students are 
encouraged to challenge each other sharply, offered important insights 
into Bush, Tsurumi said. In observing students' in-class performances, 
"you develop pretty good ideas about what are their weaknesses and 
strengths in terms of thinking, analysis, their prejudices, their 
backgrounds and other things that students reveal," he said.

One of Tsurumi's standout students was Rep. Chris Cox, R-Calif., now the 
seventh-ranking member of the House Republican leadership. "I typed him 
as a conservative Republican with a conscience," Tsurumi said. "He never 
confused his own ideology with economics, and he didn't try to hide his 
ignorance of a subject in mumbo jumbo. He was what I call a principled 
conservative." (Though clearly a partisan one. On Wednesday, Cox called 
for a congressional investigation of the validity of documents that CBS 
News obtained for a story questioning Bush's attendance at Guard duty in 
Alabama.)

Bush, by contrast, "was totally the opposite of Chris Cox," Tsurumi 
said. "He showed pathological lying habits and was in denial when 
challenged on his prejudices and biases. He would even deny saying 
something he just said 30 seconds ago. He was famous for that. Students 
jumped on him; I challenged him." When asked to explain a particular 
comment, said Tsurumi, Bush would respond, "Oh, I never said that." A 
White House spokeswoman did not return a phone call seeking comment.

In 1973, as the oil and energy crisis raged, Tsurumi led a discussion on 
whether government should assist retirees and other people on fixed 
incomes with heating costs. Bush, he recalled, "made this ridiculous 
statement and when I asked him to explain, he said, 'The government 
doesn't have to help poor people -- because they are lazy.' I said, 
'Well, could you explain that assumption?' Not only could he not explain 
it, he started backtracking on it, saying, 'No, I didn't say that.'"
