Coulter, A Plagiarist? Isn't It Obvious?

[americanstranger]

I've been consciously avoiding anything concerning Ann Coulter, simply because she's such a repulsive harridan and she's so off the scale of human rationality she's barely even worth talking about. Add to that the fact that earlier on this year she was selling a book, and just like every other time she was selling a book, she knew that if she mouthed off and said something crazy it was money in the bank. So why provide another outlet for her insanity as long as she was trying to make bank off of people clucking about her?

But since Sunday, I've gotten interested in paying a little attention to the hateful little shrew - because someone decided to run her columns and her latest book through software that detects plagiarism. It appears that Coulter has been palming other people's hate as her own. (Josh Marshall has an interst in the story, and has been following it closely over at TPM.)

But let's be honest here. Is there anything the least bit original about Coulter's schtick? It's as old as time.

3. I try to avoid her too. She's too stupid to steal stuff that's rational

What a harpy, and not even bright enough to know what and who to ape. Ugh.

4. There's a difference between being unoriginal and plagiarism.

Otherwise nearly every political pundit on TV would be a plagiarist. Plagiarism is a serious crime, and could (hopefully) be the end of this braying idiot.
