Love this: “Sen. Joe Biden, who had a brush with plagiarism at Syracuse University College of Law, is remembered fondly by professors who found him charming.”

A BRUSH with plagiarism??? At the Law College? A “brush”?

Can you imagine if that had been McCain or Palin?

Would many of Joe’s professors still be alive?

Joe's brush with plagiarism is like Uncle Teddy's brush with cheating at Harvard (which got him expelled).

They treat the fact that Sarah Palin went to several universities as a mark against her--if she was "one of them" she would have gone to an elite university or college with her parents paying the tuition, but instead she was working her way through. A lot of Americans who did the same can relate to that.

Quite frankly, how many people believe that any random student (and back in SU Law School, there was no tag of "Senator" attached to his name), would leave any impression--much less a "charming" one--upon their professors? Even in law school classes, which are presumably smaller than regular undergrad classes, there must be hundreds and thousands of students who passed through those hallowed doors.

Just where are these professors, and what about Joe did they find so "charming?"
