Hillary Rodham Clinton (D = desperate)

By now we've all heard about allegations coming from the Clinton campaign that Obama plagiarized portions of a recent speech from his campaign's national co-chair Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. The Huffington Post's Nico Pitney and Sam Stein do as good a job as anyone exposing the charge as the fraud that it self-evidently is. Hillary has borrowed rhetorical turns of phrase from her own husband without crediting him. However, nobody that I'm aware of has pointed out the simplist and easiest way to debunk Hillary's charges.

Clinton surrogate Massachusetts Rep. Jim McGovern told a group of reporters on a conference call that America needs a president who is "not just someone who can copy someone's homework."

Hello!?!? If Obama is unfit for the presidency because he borrowed a supporter's rhetoric as his own then we've not had a legitimate president in my lifetime since they've all used speech writers, including Bill Clinton. How do you think Patrick Buchanon got his start? He was speech writer for Nixon.

You know those terminally boring "State of the Union" addresses Congress and network TV audiences (thank God for cable!!) have to suffer through once a year? When was the last time a President opened a single one of them by crediting the speech writer(s) who actually penned the essay he was about to read? Any speech ever?

It would appear that the capital "D" after Hillary Clinton's name on the ballots actually stands for "Desperate" rather than the presumed "Democrat." Surpised? I thought not...
