  1. DorothyStewart says:

    Of course he is flattered, but maybe Linda McMahon should have used one of plagiarism checkers (http://www.plagtracker.com/ for example)to check the originality of her campaign proposals?

  2. Good story, Ken. Thanks.

    Here is a similar story.

    “Entire paragraphs and entire sentences” were “lifted from the House Republican website, the Cato Institute,”

    The story goes on to say:

    That query led to a nasty, profanity-laced, off-the-record phone call from McMahon campaign manager Corry Bliss to Terkel on Saturday afternoon.

    But Bliss’ behavior, from beginning to end, went far beyond what we’ve seen from political actors on either side of the aisle. It’s little surprise that his Senate race has become such an embarrassing, chair-throwing affair.
