As an example, she could have cited Denis Leary plugging his new book "Why We Suck" on "The Daily Show" Tuesday night and, 12 hours later, on "The View" :

Jon Stewart: This is the book. "Why We Suck." I did not know you were a doctor, but it says "Dr."

Leary: I've got an actual doctorate from my alma mater, from Emerson College.

Stewart: But that's like a [expletive] doctorate.

Leary: The way it works is if you become a famous guy after you graduate from the college, they just . . . 'cause I taught there. That's how I met my wife.

Stewart: Was she a student?

Leary: My wife was a student. It was before they had the law. . . . She took a writing class that I was teaching, and I taught the class. After all the classes were over at the end of the term, we matriculated.

(12 hours later)

Joy Behar: The book lists you as Dr. Denis Leary. What does that mean?

Leary: That means that my alma mater, after I graduated -- I mean, I actually graduated. But I didn't do anything after that except teach there for a while and meet my wife, while she was one of my students.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck: You were at Emerson, right?

Leary: Yeah. But I think we've said this before on the show . . .
