Uh oh, I just heard the two paragraphs overlaid. That speechwriter needs to be fired. Sabatage? Of course I never heard M O’s speech before. On Imus at least the announcers were very sympathetic to Melania.
I’m sure there were dozens of reporters just chomping at the bit to find similarities and “scandal”, so they probably had Moose’s old speech in their grubby hands - I bet a nickel they ran it through plagiarism software, which is what Melania’s staff should have done to avoid any criticism.
Still, ANY prospective First Lady (oh, except maybe Bill Clinton) is going to be talking about the same common themes such as women and children so it’s not surprising to me that some of it sounds similar - maybe the campaign should release a statement to that effect, then ignore further “digs” about it - the press will try to turn this into a huge “What papers do you read?” moment ala Sarah Palin!
