What's the big deal? A school in his home state gives him, a former VP, an honor. No one takes honorary degrees seriously as an academic award. It is more for donations and to land a speaker during spring graduation.

Didn't Hannity and Rove get honorary PhD's from Liberty University? (Hannity and Rove aren't from Virginia.) Only people like Jerry Falwell would use a "Dr." title, even though the "doctorate" was purely honorary.
