Howard University hands Biden an honorary degree for his 'analytical intellect'
American Thinker ^ | 05/15/2023 | Monica Showalter

What's a doctoral degree from Howard University worth?

Well, Joe Biden got one, honorary at least ... based on his 'sound analytical intellect' and 'illustrious reputation.'

According to Fox News:

President Joe Biden was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from Howard University on Saturday for his "analytical intellect" and "popularity on both sides" – claims mocked by conservatives on Twitter and contradicted by recent polls.

Dr. Wayne Frederick, the president of Howard University, introduced Biden with high praise at the school's 155th commencement on Saturday.

"Admired for your sound analytical intellect and open embrace for all, your popularity on both sides of the aisle of the United States led to your illustrious reputation and outstanding service of 36 years as a Democratic senator from Delaware beginning at a tender age of 29," Frederick said of Biden.

Which kind of raises questions as to whether a degree from that school is worth anything at all. Biden can't recall what day of the week it is, let alone analytically analyze anything more critical than lining his family's pockets. He cannot speak in public without a teleprompter and at times reads even the cues on it. He dodges the press. He campaigned from his basement -- to keep any unscripted moment out of the public eye. He wanders off and gets lost at the buffet table. Our enemies smile and make the most of it. 

If this is what passes for 'analytical intellect' at Howard, it would be interesting to find out what they consider 'stupid.'

Kamala Harris, after all, got a real degree from this place -- in economics, of all things, as well as political science. She later flunked her bar exam.

Judging by the Howard grads I have worked with, they really do make Biden appear to have a “sound analytical intellect”.

Biden has a case of TDS and no intellect of any kind.

Look at this jerk:

Also note the person to Biden’s left. He pulls out his phone, and appears to be totally bored with the speech.

Consider the source.

Everything is relative.

If you walk into a doctor’s office and see a Howard U med school diploma on the wall, turn around and walk out. I’m not sure of more recent rankings, but a few years ago, Howard med grads had the highest rate of malpractice suits of all US med school grads.

“Howard University hands Biden an honorary degree for his ‘analytical intellect’”

More like Analictical intellect. Worth about as much as any degree from that institution.

Honorary degree citations tend to be fawning, and the longer they are, the more over the top they are. You can find the citation for the honorary degree Biden got from the University of Delaware here: "tireless public servant," "one of the most valued voices," "deep regard for all persons," "an inspiring sense of duty and honor," et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Biden tends to accept degrees from black colleges and universities, because it's an opportunity to give his usual Democracy In Danger spiel, and because the students aren't likely to protest, but he would have received similarly fulsome praise from any university that gave him a degree.

If you can fill a cranium with two brain cells, Howard University will award you a doctorate degree.

After receiving the honorary degree, Biden said, “The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the - go, you know, you know, the thing.”

I think that here’s what you mean....

The Squaw of the Hippotamus

Long ago in a plains tribe, three young men came of age and were to be married. They were sent out into the world with a bow and arrow and a knife to kill an animal the fur of which was to be used to make their marriage bed

Brave Eagle returned with a wonderful cougar hide that was tanned into a beautiful fur

Charging Bull returned with the hide of a young bear that was tanned into a beautiful fur.

Falling Rocks was not very successful. He returned with the skins of two rabbits and a squirrel. These were not large enough to make a marriage bed. His wise grand mother suggested he take them to the trading post and get a striped blanket.

Alas, the trader would not part with a blanket for such a minor return but offered a dusty hippopotamus hide that though rough was in fact large enough.

A year passed

The squaw of Brave Eagle presented him with a son

The squaw of Charging Bull presented him a beautiful daughter

The squaw of Falling Rocks presented him with twins, a boy and a girl

Theorem:
The Squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws of the other two hides
