Clinton Fingerprints On Plagiarism Flap
cbs ^ | Feb. 19, 2008 | ap

(AP) Hillary Rodham Clinton says reporters, not her campaign, uncovered evidence of Democratic rival Barack Obama sharing speech lines with Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.

She made the claim Tuesday despite the fact her campaign posted video clips on YouTube illustrating similarities in the speeches and has suggested in several instances that the shared lines amount to plagiarism.

THE SPIN: "It's not us making this charge, it's the media," Clinton told Honolulu television station KITV Tuesday. "The media is finally examining my opponent which I think is important. We're trying to pick a president, someone for the toughest job in the world."

This is truly entertaining. Too bad we’re in even worse shape.

Brit Hume on Fox News at 6PM CST had a short part on Obama. Something about him saying Hillary was a smart as a 6 year old, or something like that. Did anyone else see or hear this tonight?

I didn’t see it as I don’t watch TV, but I’d imagine Brit probably would have been referencing her childish tactics. She often could be compared to a child playing her mommy and daddy for what she wants. One can see right through her antics.

I guess she will get even scarier looking as she tries to claw her way back into this nomination.

Could she be trying for this look?

I think this is what she will look like by the time the Democrat Convention rolls around.

* Just a guess, but it sure looks like she is well on the way to her "new look".

I'm thinking that, by the convention, she'll be waaay past that and more like this:

I think it had to do with her trying to get the delegates from Michigan and Florida to count, when it was agreed beforehand that they wouldn’t (so the candidates didn’t campaign there). Obama said something like “even a 6-year-old understands that you don’t change the rules in the middle of the game” and the Hildabeast and her minions altered that into a personal attack on Her Majesty.

Obama could abruptly end this flap by asserting he was named after Sir Edmund Hillary.

Hillary doesn't want deuces wild until she has a couple of them.

Talk about plagerism. Wasn’t Hillary guilty of having other people write her book It Takes a Village and then not giving them credit? Didn’t Hillary claim she wrote the book herself when others wrote the whole book? Why doesn’t the MSM bring that up?

How is it plagiarism to use a well known and famous line?

"There is nothing to fear, but fear itself" was coined many many years ago by FDR and has been quoted by many many people ever since.
