eye doctor, either.
Oh, he can CLAIM that he is, alright. Because he is "certified" by the so-called National Board of Ophthalmology. But when you drill down about a millimeter's worth, you discover that the National Board of Ophthalmology is a cardboard cutout he made up, to certify himself. There is, of course, the recognized and official industry standard, the AMERICAN Board of Ophthalmology, but he couldn't be bothered with that one. I suppose it's because he regards himself so highly that no one but himself is worthy of assessing his qualifications? Or another one of these dumb-ass "nobody tells ME what to do..." attitudes on display?
This has been out, already. I even had a thread about it fairly recently - after I stumbled on it, again, fairly recently. I had not known of this back in 2010 - which is when these links originated. I'm just bringing 'em back so that we can keep the FULL picture in mind. It just becomes clearer and clearer.

This last one opens with:
"The eye doctor isnt properly certified? Dr. Kent Sepkowitz on Pauls slick end-run around the professions licensing rulesand what it tells you about the kind of politician he is." MAN, no kidding!!! Just another sneaky little slicky-boy just trying to game the system if you ask me. And it is VERY telling about his character, and quite an accurate measure of the "man" here.
Knowing how he demonstrably likes to play fast and loose, is it any wonder he's been plagiarizing everything but a toilet paper package wrapper, and has now back and tried to get rid of the evidence after the truth got out?
Hey voters, WHAT DOES THIS TELL YOU ABOUT THIS SLICK LITTLE WEASEL?
Hey, Kentucky, would you trust YOUR precious irreplaceable eyes to this man? How fast-and-loose would he play with you? How many corners would he cut with YOUR eyes? Since we have that well-established, how do you think that'd play out in other ways he "does business"? Why would you trust your government to this man? And now the plagiarism scandal. Wonder what else he's been up to that's not on the up-n-up? Would you be okay with Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton doing this? Would THAT be okay with you too, since obviously this stuff doesn't seem to bother you?
I swear, this guy just stinks worse and worse by the day. And frankly, so do most of the voters of Kentucky if this is what they saw fit to send to Washington. They should be ashamed of themselves!
