Harris Dismisses Plagiarism Complaint [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 20 October 2024 | John Semmens

Posted on 10/21/2024 11:00:43 AM PDT by John Semmens

The revelation that Kamala Harris' 2009 book Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor's Plan to Make Us Safer contained significant sections of writing stolen from other authors was dismissed by the Vice-President as "much ado about nothing. First, I did not write that book. It was written for me by Joan O'C. Hamilton. Since I didn't even read it I don't see how I can be blamed for any of its contents."

"Second, politicians stealing the words of others has become so common that it has earned 'easement' status," she asserted. "This means that trespassing on the property of others that has gone on for years becomes a right under the law--kind of like the migrants who have been illegally crossing our borders for so long that it is now their right to do so. Why should I be held to a higher standard than they are?"

"Finally, there are only so many words in the English language, anyone who talks as much as I do is bound to repeat what someone else has previously said," she added. "Rather than get all huffy about it we ought to consider the repetition of the same thoughts as a vindication of their merit. So, in essence we should consider my book a repository of wisdom. Maybe I will benefit from it if I ever have time to read it."

Well, now Kamala has thrown her under the bus, maybe Joan would like to tell us what she really found while writing Harris’ book.

IOW, Harris is a Plagiarism Denialist, just like that antisemitic piece of trash who used to run Harvard.

Easy test for the HO: Ask her to write two or three paragraphs describing her views on anything.

Try to suppress laughing and gagging at the results. That idiotess HAS to copy. There is not an idea of any kind in that teeny brain.

She didn’t even have the decency to steal someone else’s apology.

It was written for me by Joan O’C. Hamilton.

But she was the one who did all the cut and pasting to hand to him.

“Harris dismisses plagiarism complaint (semi satire)”.

Shortly thereafter she wrote “I dismiss plagarism complaint (semi satire)”
