Brown Plagiarizes Dole Speech


An inspirational autobiography on Sen. Scott Brown's (R-MA) official website "was lifted verbatim from a 2002 campaign speech by Elizabeth Dole," the Boston Globe reports.

"In a message to students, the senator uses the exact language as remarks delivered by the former North Carolina senator at her campaign kickoff and contained on her own website."

"Brown's staff acknowledged yesterday the words originally were Dole's and said their presence in Brown's message was the result of a technical error."

7. Did He Think That Because It Was An Elizabeth Dole Speech

8. Some dumbass aide is gonna get fired!

He got caught, but he didn't do it. I'm sure of that. He's not smart enough.

However, the jerk he picked TO do it was a lazy monfrere. Either that, or he was a veteran of Dole's office and just went to his files.

In any event, you've gotta change "happy" to "glad" at a minimum these days. That kind of recycling doesn't cut it in these digital times!

9. Oh that's understandable

Besides it's been 9 years, nobody was suppose to remember.
