http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/journalism-professor-would-flunk-rand-paul-for-an-unambiguous-case-of-plagiarism"Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) thinks the media doth protest too much, and if he were a journalism professor he would flunk the media for reporting on several instances of apparent plagiarism found in speeches and text by the Kentucky Republican..."
The only I can see Rand being able to do this is: Paul, unhappy with the status quo (like real physician credentialing systems) will create a professorship credentialing board, make himself a professor and then summarily flunk all evil journalist.
He denies the plagiarism first, then threatens to shoot Rachel Maddow in a duel but he can't because he'd lose his job!,(talk about "shooting the messenger!" then blames his staff, then attacks the media again...This snide, spoiled, aloof idiot firmly believes( in his libertarian mind) the rules are for everyone else. Not him!

(145,242 posts)1. I remember this professor
He was the editor of the school newspaper when I was an undergrad.
BTW, Rand Paul is not a Baylor graduate. Somehow, Rand Paul got into Duke Medical school after three years of undergrad with no degree.

-snip-
And the remorse didn't appear to last long, as Paul continued to play the victim in his comments to National Review Wednesday.
"It annoys the hell out of me," Paul said. "I feel like if I could just go to detention after school for a couple days, then everything would be okay. But do I have to be in detention for the rest of my career?"
One thing Paul neglected to mention for all his threats to school the journalists covering the plagiarism allegations: most teachers would fail their students for plagiarizing.

(344 posts)4. We're finding out Rand Paul can dish it out but he can't take the same
He is showing he can't take the media pressure on him. All the reason to keep the pressure on. Yeah Rand Paul, go back to your day job as a doctor.
