That's just bizarre on many levels. Who goes around calling themselves "Doctor" when they're not an MD or a PhD? Again, it's just kind of weird. From Mother Jones:
And one more thing—lest you think she doesn't have the brains to do battle with Obama, she rattles off her degrees: "I'm not only a lawyer, I have a post-doctorate degree in federal tax law from William and Mary," she told Fox News' Chris Wallace in June. "I work in serious scholarship."Post doc? Not quite. She got an LL.M. Which means you go for another year of school after you get your law degree, in order to specialize in some field. Big deal. It certainly doesn't permit you to call yourself a "doctor," and every lawyer knows it. But that didn't stop Bachmann.
But there was one resume item that was missing: a Ph.D. Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when Bachmann traveled the state as an education activist, she went by "Dr. Michele Bachmann," even though she had never obtained nor sought the advanced degree that's a prerequisite for the title.She ran all over the state telling people she was a doctor because she had an LLM. That's seriously messed up.
