That was TEXT-BOOK plagiarism and would have gotten anyone in academic pursuits expelled and disgraced.

I don't care who is ultimately responsible, but the blah-blah-blah noise machine that is the media these days needs to STOP pretending this was anything but blatant.

I heard a few people last night ask the biggest question, and it bears repeating until everyone internalizes it, "WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE RESPONSE IF IT WERE REVERSED?" For anyone who thinks this would not have been elevated to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors instantly by the self-righteous assholes in the House, I want to sell you some bridges and investment property opportunities real fast!
