Palin Lifts From Gingrich in Anchorage Speech
Palin Lifts From Gingrich in Anchorage Speech

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-dunn/palin-plagiarizes-gingric_b_212228.html

Sarah Palin's speech delivered in Anchorage on Wednesday -- the one in which she declared "screw political correctness" and wondered why "we have to pussyfoot around our troublesome foes" -- repeatedly lifted from an article written four years ago by Newt Gingrich and Craig Shirley without attribution.

While Palin twice mentioned Gingrich in the speech (she never acknowledged Shirley), she frequently mixed her own remarks about Reagan with passages that appear to be pulled directly from the Gingrich-Shirley article.

1. Do you really believe that Palin undestands the concept of attribution?
Do you think her fans care?

4. She went to many colleges. I think she likes to keep moving as she
poisons the atmosphere wherever she is and the people around her start to get wise to her.

She just keeps moving like a slippery eel. Like a soldier running in a zig zag pattern to avoid being a sitting target. That woman has the survival instinct down pat.
