Even more unbelievable is that Strickland was a professor of psychology. The study at issue was published in in Psychological Bulletin which is a publication of the American Psychological Association.

Was two months advance notice engough time for Strikland, a licensed psychologist, to decide if this study should have been denounced?

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Strickland

"Strickland received a doctorate degree in psychology from the University of Kentucky in 1980. Ted is married to Frances Strickland, an educational psychologist and author of a widely-used screening test for kindergarten-age children. Strickland worked as a clinical psychologist at the maximum security prison at Lucasville, Ohio . . . and was a professor of psychology at Shawnee State University (Portsmouth, Ohio)."

2 months enough time? Absolutely. IF he had received/read that journal. I certainly don't read every journal for my profession. I could never possibly keep up. Keep in mind he also was no longer a professor when serving in congress... thus further reducing the odds...

I'm not saying it wasn't possible that he would have known about the article.... but saying that he had previously been a psychology professor and that the study was published in a psychology journal meant that he must have read and known about it while serving in congress is a stretch....
