Recommending Dr Jill Biden should drop her honorific "Dr" and instead bathe in the reflected glory of her husband's achievement.

The WSJ then wrote in defense of the article, even going so far as to compare the push-back as being of "Trumpian proportions". Hah! Where have they been for the last four years???

Fuck that. The only honorific that matters is "comrade"

Right, comrades?

Also - I cant remember who it was and am too lazy to google, there's a Labour party cabbo minster currently who is a Dr and it turns out has a PhD in history. Megan Woods or Clark maybe? anyway - outside academia all it does is confuse the punters who want you to look at their rashes and whatnot. Except for maybe Dr Taglioni who was a Doctor of Engineering.... which is kinda cool.

Having said that I think Alan Reay had/has similar qualification and killed all those people, so there's that.

Jonathon Coleman is a proper doctor.... No longer an MP - got sick of all the back-stabbing, I guess....

There's a copy of a court transcript on Twitter.
"Do you prefer to be addressed as Mrs or Ms?"
"Doctor."

And there is this from the European parliament for a spectacular foot shot by one party, and 20/20 foresight by the other.

There was Dr Lockwood Smith who has a PhD in animal science. That would have been handy in Parliament.
He may not use the Dr so much these days, Dr Sir Alexander Lockwood Smith is a bit of a mouthful.

Yes, Megan Woods has a PhD [Cant] in history, is she your MP by any chance?

David Clarke has a PhD [Otago] - German/New Zealand refugee and existentialist thinker Helmut Herbert Hermann Rex.

Confuse the punters... many of them are confused by "Keep Left" and "STOP" and other basic instructions...

No - not now. The gerrymandering* boundary changes mean that I am in Banks Peninsula electorate now. Tracy McLellan is my electorate MP


*and the cunt in charge was, you guessed it..... Gerry

Gerry's problem is when he was the Minister for the Christchurch rebuild he had allusions of grandeur as Georges-Eugène Haussmann.

A doctorate is a doctorate, but saying that, I would rather an MD or at least a BVSc take out my appendix than a DMA.
I was reading that before and having a chuckle about it, the interesting thing is the previous Presidents wife claimed to have a degree which they didn't which wasn't honorific or even earned through study it was plucked out of thin air.


As recently as July, Melania Trump's personal site said she obtained a degree in design and architecture at an unspecified university in Slovenia, her country of birth.

Melania claimed to speak five languages. Presumably Slovenian was one, I don't know what the others were but English wasn't one of them. :devil2:

With a minute of googling her tits are available for perusal. Generic skinny model tits but still. At least in those days she was trying to make an honest living.

For the Yanks it might seem odd for a while to have a First Lady that they haven't seen nude.
