Plagiarism is the worst kind of intellectual property theft. It’s stealing another’s creation and presenting it to the world as your own. It is particularly noxious to those of us in the intellectual property business.

Ideas can’t be copyrighted. While I don’t condone it, one with only modest communications skills can easily rewrite a paragraph or passage to avoid plagiarism. However, doing so shows low creativity, thought, and intelligence. Biden, as a serial plagiarizer, shows all of the above, combined with pure laziness and dishonesty.

His law school plagiarism happened long ago, but he continues the practice despite getting caught time and again. Biden’s unfit to work in my company. He’s unfit to serve in high office.

You can be sure the Obama camp has one or more full time employees with the originality to write from a clean sheet everything Biden utters or purportedly pens between now and November.

RE Biden plagarism.

Governor Palin is too young to have seen a political event with John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy or Hubert Humphrey. And Mr Kinnock has retired from politics.

But when Governor Palin debates Joe Biden it will be the next best thing!

Plagiarism of any kind rings alarm bells, but what really has me with furrowed brow and wrinkled nose is that he plagiarized his own family history. I find that especially strange, even more than just words about freedom, democracy, courage.

Stealing your own family history would be two broken commandments: Thou shalt not steal, Honor your parents
