Medical Diploma without an Undergraduate Degree: Did Rand Paul Benefit From Congressional Elitism? [View all]

Over at Salon, there is an article which states that Rand Paul LIED about having TWO Undergraduate degrees, one in Biology and the other in English.

According to this article, he dropped out before the end of his Junior year.

How the hell does someone get into a Graduate Program without an Undergrad?

This is not Bill Cosby, getting "Life Experience" degrees, which is a profession requiring medical undergraduate education.

Check out this article and tell me that his father, money, or something else didn't get him into a graduate program:
