Should Jill Biden be referred to as "Professor of English at Northern VA Community College"? Nye Bevan Sep 2015 #19

In what capacity as George Clooney's wife did Amal Clooney represent the defendant? nt MrScorpio Sep 2015 #20

If she's representing someone in court, it's pretty obvious that she's a lawyer. Nye Bevan Sep 2015 #21

Some call it "extra color" while others (more accurately) call it irrelevance. LanternWaste Sep 2015 #22

I doubt that this would even be a news story if she wasn't married to Clooney. Nye Bevan Sep 2015 #23

"Extra color?" MrScorpio Sep 2015 #24

Neither you nor I would ever have heard of her if not for her marriage to George. Nye Bevan Sep 2015 #25

Frankly, I DON'T think that being ignorant the fact... MrScorpio Sep 2015 #29

That's Dr. Biden to you. nt msanthrope Sep 2015 #38

I think it's a little pretentious for those with non-medical doctoral degrees Nye Bevan Sep 2015 #42

His death was announced on a Facebook post, Sheryl Sandberg's company... MrScorpio Sep 2015 #32

"John Whitman, husband of former N.J. Gov. Christie Whitman, dies" Nye Bevan Sep 2015 #33

Is there a point behind you comparing apples to oranges? MrScorpio Sep 2015 #39

First of all I have a somewhat limited capacity for worry and right now its pretty well used up tularetom Sep 2015 #36

Yeah, the fact that she changed her name to "Clooney" kind of confirms your last point (nt) Nye Bevan Sep 2015 #37

So AP Tweeted "actor's wife" instead of "human rights lawyer"....So what? red dog 1 Sep 2015 #35
