Obama Repedatedly Quotes Cartoonist While On Campaign Trail
Fox News ^ | September 10, 2008 | FOXNews.com

Barack Obama’s “lipstick on a pig” comment grabbed all the headlines Wednesday, but a line he delivered just before that remark is leading critics to wonder whether the Democratic presidential candidate’s speechwriter is a cartoonist.

On Tuesday, for the third time in four days, Obama borrowed a lengthy bubble quote from Washington Post cartoonist Tom Toles. He did not acknowledge the origin of the quote the first time he used it and credited the cartoon only after the Post contacted the Obama campaign to ask about the first use.

“John McCain says he’s about change, too. And so, I guess his whole angle is, ‘Watch out, George Bush. Except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics … we’re really gonna shake things up in Washington,’” Obama said during a rally Tuesday in Lebanon, Va.

As it turns out, Toles’ cartoon in The Washington Post last Friday depicted McCain addressing the White House with the caption: “Watch out, Mr. Bush! With the exception of economic policy and energy policy and social issues and tax policy and foreign policy and Supreme Court appointments and Rove-style politics, we’re coming in there to shake things up!”

“That seals it! The Dems have locked up the plagiarist and liar vote.”

Uh oh. Between losing the plagiarists, liars and community organizers, is there any way we can still win?

Obama and Biden — twin plagiarists.

So... Biden apparently has more influence than we thought?

Uhg, I scrutinize my posts for these kinds of things. I try so hard to present myself as faultless and pure as "The One" himself. Alas, I'm doomed to making those little mistakes that only prove I am but a mere mortal. In the spirit of modern education theory, do I get points for trying? If not, I may buckle under the crushing weight of my own incompetence. I may never be able to face the masses at FR again, shamed by my own sense of worthlessness.

I blame my parents. ;)
