    A minor plagiarism scandal is a great way to distract from the fascist uprising.

    I am OK with Melania borrowing a word or two here and there. But if I find out that Scott Baio stole lines from C. Thomas Howell in Soul Man for his speech, I'm gonna be disappointed.

    I think there comes a point -- past the most common registration deadlines for states that don't permit same-day registration-- where you've got to go with registered voters only.

    I wish she had just plagiasized the "Whitey" speech you were confident existed years ago. Then Democrats would have REALLY been in trouble!

    It's not plagiarism if you get your line from the Clinton campaign's talking points:

    The biggest takeaway from this plagiarism thing is how pervasive, stupid and lazy it is. Biden's stuff came in 1988 -- years before Everyman could be an Internet sleuth. But How did the Obama people in 2007 think they could get away with word-for-word theft from the Gov of Massachusetts' remarks of 18 months prior? How did Trump people think they could do it in 2016? Democrats. Republicans. Well run campaigns. Inept campaigns. Doesn't seem to matter.
