Oh noes! And, and, and I saw an episode of Seinfeld last night that was plagiarized from when it originally aired back in 1993!!! Jerry and Kramer had the same conversation that they had back then...word for word! This is an outrage!

You cant plagiarize yourself.You can in certain settings, such as academia, where it is usually considered unethical to submit one work in more than one place, or to incorporate significant portions of an earlier work into a later one without a proper citation. Whether or not it technically constitutes "plagiarism" more or less depends on whether you accept a definition of the term that limits it to stealing the ideas of others. Furthermore a certain amount of material recycling is permissible under fair use and frequently necessary. Even if "self-plagiarism" doesn't fit the definition of plagiarism, strictly speaking, it is still considered academic dishonesty and treated with like seriousness.
Recycling one's own speeches, on the other hand, is a different matter. Every public speaker has done it, for ever. (Ask a pastor!) I know of more than one public speaker who has a selection of lectures on various issues that he can present on request. It sounds like Newsweak is trying to impose journalistic ethical standards out of context.

Too bad she wasted the opportunity by plagiarizing much of her remarks from one of her previous speeches
How does this waste an opportunity? I assume the folks in India don't study her past speeches as obsessively as Newsweek does, it might have been new for them. And don't politicians and policy makers pretty much use the same speeches over and over again anyway? Why single Ivanka out for doing what every Washington fool behind a podium does?

Such spectacular mistakes! Usually, someone on FR, or Rush, or someone else on the Right makes a joke about what ridiculous thing they’ll do, and the next day, they do just that. This time, I can’t even think of a joke, a new extreme. Nothing! I didn’t even dream that anyone would accuse Ivanka of plagiarizing herself. We’re in totally uncharted territory here. They’re getting better at parodying themselves than we are at making fun of them. Anything goes now.

Sad that Newsweek is reduced to hiring people so inexperienced that they don’t understand that public speakers always re-use their material.
