She, like anyone who has earned a doctorate or PhD, deserves to be referred to using that honorific if that is their desire. It is simple respect and doesn’t change with one’s politics. I listen to Tucker the meaning Biden earlier for this and thought it was very inappropriate.

Whatta bout calling Kommie out as Maduro 2.0?

I prefer Mrs Potatohead.

You have to hand it to the left.

They spent the last four years teaching America how to treat a President they didn’t vote for.

Whatta bout calling Kommie out as Maduro 2.0?

I'll vote for that, and often.

Jill Biden is an enabler of a shitty family sorry but her husband is a cheat and worse and her son is a drugged out sexual abuser. Screw that whole family and I hope she enjoys her peices of silver for selling out our country to China.
Not my First Lady ever.

She has an Ed.D., the same credentials as “Dr.” Bill Cosby.

[Salamander]

Yep

In Lefty world you're only as good as your last degree, real, honorary or otherwise. The letters after your name give you authority and lets the uneducated dirty masses know that your opinion matters.

Funny as hell when I saw that live. I just happened to be switching channels but stopped when I caught sight of Goldberg’s mop head and luckily caught this exchange.

My doctorate is in musicology. I expect my students to call me Dr. I don’t expect my neighbors, fellow congregants, or anyone else to.

Obtaining an academic doctorate is no picnic, but outside of academia it doesn’t mean you’re smarter than the average bear.

Worth a bump just for that video. 😃

AP style book doesn’t recognize it for non-medical doctors. Bill Cosby has a pHD in education. The only time anyone called him doctor was Dr. Huxtable.

[chuckee]

Why would any PHD want to be called Dr outside the classroom other than to enhance his stature among equals.I would find it downright embarrassing, but that may be just me. Sorry, Joe, referring to your wife as Dr Biden rather than Jill or my wife, which is how she is identified by the public, on the campaign trail is a bit crass and striving.

[proud American in Canada]

The term “Dr.” has a meaning for most people. They think it’s an M.D. So the Bidens pushing that usage is deceptive.

I have a Juris Doctor. Don’t expect or want to be called “Dr.”

[mad_as_he$$]

We have two family friends that both have a Doctorate in education. Unless you saw their business cards you wouldn’t know it, they keep it close to the vest.

She earned it... Lots of other have too, yet they aren't as presumptuous and snobby....
