Silly Xerox, Nit Picks are for Kids
By: rocketsquirrel

Obama was right to dismiss the silliness of Hillary's "plagiarism" charge. Imagine Hillary borrowing lines from her husband's 1992 campaign and from John Edwards.

Oh wait, she did.

Hillary needs to grow up and find some better issues.

minor update: and another thing. Whenever these candidates go into attack mode like this, don't you think they ought to be darn sure they've never committed the __fill in the blank__ atrocity they are accusing the other one of?

How do you think Jane Cowen-Fletcher feels about Hillary publishing a book by the same title only two years after Cowen-Fletcher (Scholastic, 1994) vs. Hillary (Simon & Schuster, 1996).

That "plagiarism" bullshit was amazing. Amazing that they even tried it. Hillary and her goofy crew spew this shit as though no one is listening. Did they forget that there's these people on the internet that follow and retain their every word?

I wonder if she remembers the time she "plagiarized" Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and Israel...

Oh, come on RocketSquirrel, you're smart enough to know that there are numerous books with the same title. On the surface, it would appear to be of a similar topic, but clearly from a different point of view. Chill a bit, OK.

Clinton obviously needs something to shake the race up, but man, that plagiarism attack was bad . . . really bad.

I'm pretty sure I could come up with something better . . . at a cost of a few million less dollars than she is currently paying her consultants.

back at ya, Pam. chill. Read the title of my post. Not taking this too seriously.

But I would add as an author and publisher myself, I'd be pretty pissed off if someone came out with a similar or identical title so quickly. Most authors I know painstakingly research the title of their book carefully enough to not step so swiftly on another author's toes. Most authors would be embarrassed if their title was identical to another book published only two years before.

Hillary, perhaps, feels a different sense of entitlement. I don't know.
