The act of plagiarizing; taking someone’s words or ideas as if they were your own. I am not sure how this isn’t plagiarism? If he were to say, “As my good friend, Gov. Deval said....”, then I agree it isn’t plagiarism. But he didn’t and I believe that it is, in fact, plagiarism by definition.

If you or I, start doing stand-up and use Jerry Seinfeld or Richard Pryor’s words, we would find out very quickly it was plagiarism in no uncertain terms, from a lawyer near us. :)

As we don’t get to do this often, it’s now a good time to laugh at the Clintons.

Not if Seinfeld or Pryor encouraged us to use their words, which is the case with Deval Patrick and Obama.

Nonsense. They are friends and talk about ideas together. And most of the so-called plagiarized content was from King, Washington etc.

I didn’t know “I have a dream” could be termed plagiarism.

This is sheer DESPERATION on the part of the Clinton campaing.

They will stop at nothing to win.

Evil. Pure and simple.
