Jill Biden is a doctor, you guys. She, the Biden team, and the media have made it clear that any less of a description is patriarchal misogyny and probably racist somehow too. You see, even though you never call other Ed.Ds “doctor” outside of a strictly professional environment (i.e. your professor at school), Jill is special. She worked hard for her credentials, garnering her degree in her 50s, and by golly, she’s a Democrat.
After a week of gnashing of teeth over a single op-ed in The Wall Street Journal making fun of the idea that Jill Biden should be addressed as a doctor, she now wants you to know that it was the “tone” that really bothered her.
Dr. Jill Biden is opening up about recent attacks on her doctorate. In a new interview with Stephen Colbert, the incoming first lady revealed that the newfound questioning of her credentials came as “such a surprise,” particularly because she’s spent many decades in the education field. Biden added that “it was really the tone” of the criticism that upset her, as it invalidates the years of work she put into her degree. “One of the things I’m most proud of is my doctorate,” she told Colbert. “I mean, I worked so hard for it.”
This comment came via the softest of soft-ball interviews provided by Stephen Colbert. Yes, the Biden transition chose a wildly left-wing comedian to give the first major post-election interview to because they really care about being held to account. Note that not once during the last four years has a single media outlet given credence to the idea that the “tone” used to talk about Melania Trump is out of bounds.
Jill Biden mentions that she worked “so hard for it” as if that somehow dictates violating normal etiquette when it comes to addressing her. Ask yourself this. How many engineers do you know with a doctorate? I know quite a few, including my grandfather. I can count on one hand the times I’ve heard him or others referred to as doctor outside of the work environment, and even then, that’s usually only on paperwork. This is true for all doctoral degrees except those in the medical field. An Ed.D is also one of the lowest forms of a doctorate you can get. No offense to those who have one because it’s still an accomplishment, but it’s not 8 years in medical school, a doctorate in the major sciences, or even the equivalent of going to law school.
Besides, do you want to know how petty this all is on the part of Jill Biden?
Haha. Since Biden is #notthepresident, Ms. Jill is also #notthefirstlady.
She can think whatever she wants.
We’ll just call her Jill the Quack. She seems pretty insecure about her own intelligence and needs that title to reassure herself.
Jill the pill works for me.
@kitt: If she’s a doctor of education, perhaps she could teach Joe not to lie.
JILL AND JOE,DANCED IN THE SNOW,AT SOME SKI LODGE,THEY TRIED TO DODGE,HUNTER CAUGHT A COLD
Only 2 individuals were even interviewed for her research.
Everybody else, including every Jr College she sent her questions to ignored her, completely.
You can’t make a valid conclusion about policy based on the opinions of 2 ex-students.
So, yes, her paper is a pile of steaming XXXX-XXXX.
What might have been MORE valid would have been her explanation of how hard it is to do research without the cooperation of the over 150 other people she tried to engage.
Also a good idea would have been to re-question all of them about WHY they refused to help her.
She, and we, might have learned something.
Mrs. Biden was old enough to know better.
@Nan G: She didn’t know better than to marry a liar that trashed the reputation of the man who had the misfortune to meet Biden’s first wife when she ran a stop sign.
From now on, I am Dr. Deplorable.
her doctorate in education are a dime a dozen.. go online at adv. google search and read some of the educational doctorate crap..the sad part is the number of ridiculous facility that signed off on her degree-alleged tenured socialistic facility. one needs to read her alleged dissertation, like the media, a lot of anonymous sources. her alleged dissertation is a fraud by valid academic standards.
