    How often do you hear actual doctors (Ben Carson, Ron Paul, for instance) addressed as ‘Dr.” in public journalism pieces or even in interviews. You don’t, and they’re actual doctors. Neither have i ever heard one of them correct someone by saying, “It’s Doctor Carson or Paul”. Anyone who insists on being addressed by their honorific is petty and insecure.

    Also, an education doctorate is among the lowest of the low in terms of rigor and therefore accomplishment, which makes her insistence on being called “Dr” even more ridiculous.

      This is a textbook example of why it’s foolhardy to engage the left and their barking nuttery. Their hypocrisy is so blindingly obvious to anyone who can google what any of them said yesterday and compare to today, but calling them on it makes no difference. They know they’re lying and that the stand they’ve suddenly decided to take today is just another convenient fake principle for them to bludgeon their enemies with, discarding it not just tomorrow, but within hours (!) after its usefulness is through.

      People on the right need to stop engaging these lunatics. This is exhibit #514349 of how they will hold someone to a standard and destroy them, and never once expect that they themselves be held to the same standard.

    Tears ago, I did talk to an MD about this. It seems the most insist are the ones that have PhD appended. I also looked into why a surgeon in England is called Mister while a physician is called Doctor. It is not a slight to those who work with their hand but a carry over from Royal Navy tradition of giving the rank of lieutenant to ship’s surgeons. Hence “Mister”.
    This isn’t that much of an issue for MDs. They know that they worked hard and went to school for a lot of years.

      I have a friend who’s going for his M.D. and his Ph.D. in medicine; we’re gonna call him ‘doc doc’. šŸ˜‰

    For the millionth time: Epstein didnt kill himself. Not this time or the other time in jail.

    Greg Cochrane over at West Hunter had a great line:

    “Ph.D. in education? On average, it predicts that youā€™re dumber than someone with a B.A in education, already below the general college average.”

    It isnā€™t customary to keep the title ā€œDr.ā€ posthumously. No one refers to Albert Einstein as ā€œDr. Einstein.ā€ But for some mysterious reason, Martin Luther King Jr. is constantly referred to as ā€œDr. Martin Luther King Jr.ā€ or ā€œDr. King.ā€

    Martin Luther, the reformer, isnā€™t referred to as ā€œDr. Martin Luther.ā€

    Am I missing something?
