8. Not An M.D. But, Still. . . .
. . .pretty cool. But, remember that the Cheney woman had a Ph.D. too! Apparently the standards aren't the same at all schools.

9. She's an Ed.D. That degree, and the Ph.D., are technically higher
degrees than the M.D., which is sort of viewed as a glorified Masters Degree in academic circles. The difference lies in the fact that you can't get the Ph.D. or the Ed.D. just by taking a prescribed sequence of courses, but must make an original contribution to the scholarship in your field, normally in the form of a dissertation.
