Ford had a J.D.?! Joel Send a noteboard - 08/02/2013 07:10:59 PM
Do they give out honorary J.D.s? :P I thought Fords only significant collegiate accomplishment was winning a couple National "Championships" on Michigans offensive line. I know college football players actually had to go to class back then, but...GERALD Ford? The one who could not even master debarking from an airplane?

Otherwise, yeah, you covered it with references to presidents who do not live in the White House. It should be noted, however, that MLK et al. is often referred to as "the Reverend Doctor." There is no reason multiple titles cannot be mentioned in an honorific, it is just awkward as Hell and non-obligatory, and so uncommon.

Woodrow Wilson had a Ph.D. and Garfield was a minister Isaac - 05/02/2013 08:20:50 PM 821 Views
Dr. is the appropriate title for an M.D. only. Every other jackass these days has a useless Ph.D. Tom - 06/02/2013 03:55:46 PM 694 Views
i've heard PhD's referred to as "doctor, but not the kind who helps people" moondog - 06/02/2013 05:43:56 PM 704 Views
I think it's excessive Tom - 06/02/2013 06:57:10 PM 669 Views

Every other doctorate but medicine is useless? Isaac - 06/02/2013 10:20:40 PM 651 Views
I never said that. I said every other jackass had a useless Ph.D. Tom - 06/02/2013 10:59:34 PM 683 Views
You're phrasing is rather ambigous then Isaac - 07/02/2013 12:26:46 AM 652 Views
"Your" and "ambiguous". Tom - 07/02/2013 03:39:01 AM 659 Views
You're being petty and you're avoiding the topic *NM* Isaac - 07/02/2013 05:03:27 AM 382 Views
I don't see how his phrasing is ambiguous. Legolas - 07/02/2013 09:07:45 AM 754 Views
I am disinclined to give him the benefit of the doubt when he's seems to be picking an argument Isaac - 07/02/2013 11:46:02 AM 1153 Views
