Hillary, The Plagiarist?

[ErnestoG]

Interesting catch from http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/179590.php">TPM, who was following the debate. After she got off some cheap shot at Obama and a xerox machine (odd for a candidate who is largely aping the political moves of her husband to make up for lackluster support), her massive barn door of contradictions was swung upon with about every passing phrase:

9:16 PM ... I don't see how Sen. Clinton can say she's been representing the United States for 15 years. I know this is a dicey topic. But she wasn't president from 1993-2001. What am i missing? Here's the quote: "For more than 15 years, I’ve been honored to represent our country in more than 80 countries, to negotiate on matters such as opening borders for refugees during the war in Kosovo, to stand up for women’s rights as human rights around the world."

9:35 PM ... This earmark issue, as it's become framed, is really silly. Earmarks are a matter of the congress stipulating some spending priorities rather than the executive. The issue is almost, not all, but almost all one of transparency. There is nothing inherently wrong with earmarks, though in practice they've caused a lot of problems and have been a playground for the corrupt. And on McCain, put me down as highly suspicious on his claims about earmarks. But that's a topic for another night.

And then, Miss Original was hoisted on her own petard:


9:46 PM ... That was an interesting final moment to end on for Hillary. Candy Crowley is on CNN now saying how it was a good connect moment for HIllary, which I suspect it may have been. But we all do remember that those words were borrowed from Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign, right?


Oh dear! What a stinging way for Hillary to be hastening her descent. That hadda hurt!

1. STEALING from her OWN HUSBAND !!!?!!?!??

Oh GOD! that is LOW.

I thought she had class, but now I see her loyalties mean nothing...

2. The funniest part is she actually thinks no one will notice.

That is the HEIGHT of arrogance.

3. How funny! We have another thread going with youtube videos

that shows the idea coming from John Edwards. However a few of us remember that she said it earlier, I think in an interview. So, we honestly don't know whose words tbese were, but, don't think they were Bill's. Got a link?

4. That old adage re: "People in glass houses ..." , seems apt. eom.

5. John Edwards...Bill Clinton....but NOT Hillary's!

And the link happens when you run over the nifty hyperlinked "TPM" with your mouse.
