More Bushie Stupidity

MANIFESTO

It's not as if plagiarism isn't hard to catch these days—in one of the great coincidences of my career, I once found a student paper that had been written by DarLucky's wife!—but along with not realizing that $4/gallon gasoline is imminent,* the Bushies still don't seem to understand the intricacies of the Web in finding examples of it.

So it is with one Timothy Goeglein, a Special Assistant to the President in the White House's Office of Public Liaison, who, in a column yesterday in the The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel, quoted former Dartmouth professor, Jeffrey Hart, extensively.

Mr. Goeglein, I knew Professor Hart, and believe me, you're no Jeffrey Hart. (I've always wanted to use that line.)

Speaking of Professor Hart, I see he's gotten religion and is actually backing Barack Obama for president. His reasons for doing so can he found here, but it's more than a little surprising that the former National Review writer would back a Democrat for any reason. I have my suspicions as to why he's thinking as he is, but they'd be too provocative to articulate.

*I've just found what I think is an obvious parallel between Gorgeous George's "I hadn't heard that" of yesterday and his father's infamous wonderment at super market checkout scanners. Both incidents show the Brahminesque mentality of the two Yale grads and really show that they need to get out more.

UPDATE: The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel has reported that Goeglein plagiarized 20 of the 38 articles they published by him.
