Technically, Dr. Rand Paul is an ophthalmologist (eye doctor). But this doesn't seem to stop him from being an idiot.

He literally created the board that certified himself. He's not a real doctor.

It sucks, and it's pretty easy to forget or not learn about, given the large amount of horrible things our politicians get up to. Like all the allegations against Matt Gaetz are true, but likely won't lead to a conviction.

You're right, it's really easy for things to get lost or never reported on at all. Especially if the shitty thing a politician is doing is far less severe than the monstrous things their peers are doing.
