Turns out Rand Paul is not a board-certified ophthalmologist, as he claims.

Not to be confused with the American Board of Ophthalmology, which certifies real ophthalmologists. His explanation, “what does that have to do with the election?”

According to Wikipedia, he is an actual MD, from Duke no less. So I guess he's not a complete fraud, just sorta dumb. How'd he get through Duke med school? I wager there's a story there.
