I didn't know this before now, but apparently Lynne Cheney has a Ph.D. in English.

But throughout her official White House bio, she's Mrs. Cheney. Even when it says, "To complete her master's degree and her Ph.D., Mrs. Cheney studied two scholars who were known for what type of literature?"

Great thing to teach kids. You can get as much education as you like, little girl, but you'll always be a Mrs., even when we're talking about your educational credentials!

Dick Cheney must be proof positive that even the most psychotic chickenhawks can have a better half.

Well, I don't know. Look at the titles of the books she's written for children. And look at the think tank she worked for. I think they suit each other quite well.

Dr. is officially for any doctorate, but in practice it's for medical doctors. I have used it for other doctorates at times and been told not to use it.
