LOL. Most political reporters who travel with a campaign can recite the stump speech word for word.

Try writing for a very active boss who liked to travel. My record was 14 in one week. There were half a dozen major issue areas that we addressed pretty regularly, and by this time I had a pretty good template for each one. Unless the same group has heard the speech before, there's nothing wrong with reusing the material with very minor tweaks. After all, you should be consistent in your messaging. "The speech" evolves over time as circumstances change, events intrude, and fresh material develops, but reuse is to be expected.

...You can’t plagiarize yourself...

The ignorance of democrats and other liberals is literally breathtaking.

And someone broke into my house today, stole everything, and replaced them with exact duplicates.

I heard she imitated her own voice as well.

I seem to recall that ownership of Newsweek was sold for $1. It now appears that as a new magazine, $1 was overpriced by several magnitudes of order.

Nor any editors who can slap the erring writer upside the head and refuse to publish it.

The problem is, they got ahead of the curve. Right-wingers joke about what they’ll do next, and then they do it, defying credulity. But nobody saw this coming.

So we’ve got to get back on top of them, or next thing you know, the gays will all move down South and start acting like good ol’ boys, driving pickups, hunting and fishing, and listening to Country Western on the radio. You won’t be able to tell them apart, they’re such good mimicks, except that they’ll be holding hands during the rape scene in Deliverance, and singing Jim Nabors songs. Or going out back of honky tonks, and bending each other over, and saying “Squeal like a pig!” while they go at it. Inevitably, they’ll start listening to Rush and Mark Levin and Sean Hannity, just to fit in, and that’s when the pendulum will have gone full circle.

OK, libtards. We gave you the joke. Now get to work.

Look, Newsweek continues to imitate a magazine so their not knowing the difference between “plagiarizing” and “repeating” is par for the course.

Let’s rename them “NewsWeak”. It is most appropriate.

F*ck newsweek. They knew what they were saying when they printed “plagiarized.” It’s what they meant to say. They know that millions of dumb readers will accept what the headline says without question.

They can’t be “getting” mentally ill!! Would you say that Michael Moore is “getting” fat?? Is a seven footer “getting” tall?? Is Pelosi “getting” stupid?? They ARE mentally ill, it is hard to imagine them getting any MORE mentally ill than they already are.

Newsweek is really reaching, right out of the galaxy.

OK. You’re right. Their mental illness is getting worse, though. Keep sharp things out of their reach.

Exactly what I thought when I read the headline.

The LAMESTREAM media has become truly desperate.
