Bush aide resigns over plagiarism

[ck4829]

A White House official who served as President Bush's middleman with conservatives and Christian groups resigned Friday after admitting to plagiarism. Twenty columns he wrote for an Indiana newspaper were determined to have material copied from other sources without attribution.

Timothy Goeglein, who has worked for Bush since 2001, acknowledged that he lifted material from a Dartmouth College publication and presented it as his own work in a column about education for The News-Sentinel in Fort Wayne. The newspaper took a closer look at his other columns and found many more instances of plagiarism.

seems he was a wussy who couldn't stand scrutiny.

I wonder what else he was hiding.

The comments are precious...ya gotta get down around 6am yesterday and you'll see Goeglein's friends attempt to defend him...and that's where the fun begins...

Cheers...

3. Speaking of Google:

Google this:
I am entirely at fault. It was wrong of me. There are no excuses.


Was he the first to say that? :rofl:
