11. Well, I admit I cheated and googled, but I'm not sure I trust the answer:

Gag!

[DesEtoiles]

12. I thought it was Mosley-Braun. In any event - Hillary stole it from someone.

[samdogmom]

19. Is it plagiarism??????

[PresidentObama]

22. Wasn't Hillary slogan "I'm in, and I'm in to win" not "I'm in it to win it"

Kind of like Kerry-Edwards "Stronger at home, respected around the world"

It's generic. Not really plagiarism.

[samdogmom]

30. Sorry! I was being sarcastic!

I was trying to play off her recent plagiarism charge against Obama. I guess I should have used a smilie to make things clear. I apologize!

[PresidentObama]

34. No need to apologize. I understand your OP.

I just don't think her slogan is necessarily an example of hypocrisy.

Not really an effective example of plagiarism.

I support Hillary, but I didn't really think much of the plagiarism charge since Obama used lines from one of his own supporters.

Jessica McClure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jessica Morales née McClure (born March 26, 1986), became famous at the age of 18 months after falling into a Midland, Texas well on October 14, 1987. Rescuers worked for 58 hours to free "Baby Jessica" from an 8-inch-wide hole. The story gained worldwide attention (leading to some criticism as a media circus), and later became the subject of a 1989 ABC TV movie, Everybody's Baby: The Rescue of Jessica McClure, starring Patty Duke and Beau Bridges.<1> As presented in the movie, a vital part of the rescue was the use of the then relatively new technology of waterjet cutting.
The photograph of her being rescued fetched the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for spot news photography to Scott Shaw of the Odessa American.
After the accident

Since her rescue on October 16, 1987, she has had 15 surgeries over the years. She has no first-hand memory of the incident. McClure graduated from Greenwood High School (Texas), near Midland, in May 2004.
On January 28, 2006, Jessica married Daniel Morales, an ex-convict, at a Church of Christ in a small rural community outside of Midland, Texas. The couple met at a day-care center where Morales’ sister worked with the bride.<2> Later that year, Jessica delivered a son, Simon.
On May 30, 2007, USA Today named Jessica one of the "25 lives of indelible impact," ranking her at #22. <3>
When Jessica turns 25, she stands to be paid a trust of donations from "well-wishers," rumored to be in excess of $1,000,000.<4>
McClure's rescue was mostly credited to Robert O'Donnell and William Andrew Glasscock Jr.. In 1995, O'Donnell shot himself after suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Former officer Glasscock is currently serving a 35-year sentence on charges of sexual exploitation of a child, sexual assault, and improper storage of explosives.<5>

39. The mental image I have is of him muttering it to himself as he walks from his unpleasing...

sacrifice, knife in hand, going off to commit the first murder and fratricide. Fallen, but not yet marked. A story of man's tendency to dig himself deeper. In it to win it, indeed.
