Maddow to Rand Paul: ‘Good luck’ trying to make this plagiarism thing about me

.................................

“In politics, this is a classic,” Maddow said. “When you’re getting attacked for something, just accuse your opponent of being guilty of the same thing. Whatever the attack is, if it’s sticking to you, just apply those words in a substantively meaningless way to whoever’s saying it about you, so at least it starts to seem confusing to people or the words lose their meaning.”

A conservative blog has been chosen from the masses to carry water for Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on charges that the tea party senator has repeatedly stolen parts of his speeches from other writers. Representatives of Paul’s office contacted the blog alleging that Maddow was once accused of plagiarizing a blog post.

“Sure, Senator,” said Maddow. “Sure, ‘sources close to Rand Paul,’ you can try to make this whole problem for yourself about me, try to make me the story? Good luck. I can take it.”

Feces pudding!
