Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, February 29, 2008

A White House official who serves as President Bush's liaison to the religious community has been caught plagiarizing a column that he writes for an Indiana newspaper. Tim Goeglein, deputy director of the White House Office of Public Liaison, admitted that portions of a column he wrote today for the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel were copied from an article written several years ago by Jeffrey Hart in the Dartmouth Review.

yawn!!!

What a bunch of retards.

Another righty devoid of the capacity for original thought. Quelle surprise. With those numbnuts, it's always a case of cut and paste or outright lies and fabrication.

"In his columns for The News-Sentinel, my old newspaper, he personifies a certain sort of apple-cheeked Hoosier drippiness, which undoubtedly masks a core of white-hot ambition."

I love that sentence. Tim Goeglein's picture is right there to confirm it.

Soon after Tim Goeglein repented, was reborn, and now everything is ok again.

The guy looks like he shouldn't be allowed around children.

If it's good enought for Obama .....

oh my! cheaters in the white house!

who'd've thought?

Tsk tsk tsk Tim!

At least you admitted it though. I imagine if you were a Democrat, however, that we'd be hearing about the benefits and intrinsic goodness of plagiarism....cuz when you're a Democrat, it's different!

"""At least you admitted it though. """

Yeah, makes you think he is Dem for not respecting the republican mantra: never underestimate the power of denial.

The guy has that "Born Again glow" so he's pretty easy to peg as a Republican.

Goeglein, a former TV news producer and communications director for Sen. Dan Coats (R-Ind.), is a graduate of the Ernie Pyle School of Journalism at Indiana University

The Ernie Pyle School of Journalism? More like the Gomer Pyle school if'n ya asks me! Where did he find the stuff to plagarise? Prolly used the same resource that Nancy Nall, bogga gal extrodinaire, used to unmask his shameful ways. ie. Teh Google!

Now, whenever Spud encounters this heir to Jayson Blair Spud's gonna refer to him as Tim Googlin', you know ...just fer giggles.

Spud luffs a good giggle. Laws yes.

Be Well.

YEAH!

Except for the part, and up to the time where we said we would "Restore Honor and Dignity to the Office"!

My eyes!!! The goggles, they do nothing!!!

My eyes!!! The goggles, they do nothing!!!

Raineer Wolfcastle is funny but Spud is likey the deliberate misquote too!

LOLcat time!

Be Well.

/Tequila, making beer goggles unneccessary since 1873!

Spud! Ernie Pyle was the man!
en.wikipedia.org


But back to topic, can it really surprise anyone that Bush's liaison the the religious community was faking it? Republicans have been stringing the Religious Right along for years. This guy is just the designated BS artist in charge of telling them what they want to hear.

Spud! Ernie Pyle was the man!

Damn straight. Ernie Pyle was one of Amrica's greatest journos during WWII. The fact that Tim Googlin' graduated from his illustrious School of Journalism and then betrayed it's precepts is an abomination.

All honour and respect fer Ernie Pyle.

Much luff.

Googlin'? Not. So. Much.

Just to be perfectly clear on that point.

Be Well.

***Another righty devoid of the capacity for original thought. Quelle surprise. With those numbnuts, it's always a case of cut and paste or outright lies and fabrication.***

Yeah, just like Jayson Blair! Oh wait, He worked for the NYTimes, probably wasn't a "righty."

"Yeah, just like Jayson Blair! Oh wait, He worked for the NYTimes, probably wasn't a "righty."

Yeah, well this idjit works for the White House! I think my capacity to be embarassed by this mis-administration has been just, plain burned out.

I'm shocked and awed that someone connected to the Bush Jr. administration would do something unethical!

McBush is just getting warmed up. Wait till its his turn!!!!

That's the ultimat sin. Impeach the whole bunch of them.

Is this the same guy who mocked the religiious right as gullible during the Abramhoff trial? It was the head of the religious liaison office at the WH.

If things are as they were at the WH he's still in his job.....as most incompetents are until they're publicy drummed from their positions and Bush can no longer keep them - as he intended with Rumsfeld until the devastating 2006 Congressional losses.

Maybe Obama will ask Tim to be his vice president? Then the two of them could copy off each other!

The email from the WH liaison office to the religious right - uncovered during the Abramhoff trial - went something like (to paraphrase):

"They're a bunch of sheep who'll do whatever we tell them to. God, they're gullible LOL!"

NO!!!!!

What do you call it if a left winger does it? Will you still be as indignant?

If it's good enought for Obama .....

You do realize that Obama was told by Deval Patrick that he could use what was said, right?

At least you admitted it though. I imagine if you were a Democrat, however, that we'd be hearing about the benefits and intrinsic goodness of plagiarism....cuz when you're a Democrat, it's different!

This from the 'Debauchery Elf'?

I'll say it again, Barak Obama was given permission by Deval Patrick to use parts of his speech in his own.

Once again, FACTs make your point moot.

he should have told people that then...instead of trying to take credit..he is a total empty suit

Another of the phony rhetoric spewing from the right.

Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School, respected by all of his colleagues.

God, I'm sick of the meaningless dribble that continues to spew from rabid Rush fans.

a white house official caught in plagiarism scandal, eh?
I guess thats a whole lot worse than looking ME IN THE EYE and telling me that he 'did not have sexual relations with that woman"
and then there is the little matter that had to do with him being disbarred. of course that was only about a blow job, so we arent supposed to remember any of that.

If it's good enought for Obama .....

Moron.

Hey bushlover...

It's not 1999 anymore, it's 2008. Get a life.

hey alex.....thats typical response from the side who cant stand the truth. lets see,which is worse...plagiarism or lying to a grand jury AND you and me?
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH I see. it all depends on WHO it is lying and whatnot? I get it now.

Since Bush commuted Libby's convictions of, among other things, lying to a grand jury, the FBI, etc. (ie, "us") this is a bit of a complex paper bag you can't argue yourself out of.

What a sorry bunch on this forum. Almost without exception everyone missed the obvious. Plagarism is wrong no matter who does it.

But no, this thread immediately turned into the predictible "right sucks, left sucks" mudsling fest that is the very framework of the DR.

This thread is so typical of what is a microcosm of what is wrong with this country. There are so many people caught up in petty partisianship that they don't see that wrong is wrong -- no matter who does it.

Pitiful indeed.

yawn!!!



Yeah I can see why you are so unconcerned. It is not like they were stealing money this time, just ideas.

You mean like this?

"In a December appearance in New Hampshire, ABC News quoted him attributing a line to the governor.

"I'm stealing this line from my buddy Deval Patrick, who stole a whole bunch of lines from me when he ran for the governorship," Obama reportedly said."

www.chicagotribune.com

It dosen't matter that Clinton lied to a grand jury and there was no trial and punishment. Libby only had his jail time done away with, not his conviction.

It dosen't matter that Barney Frank had a queer whore house in his basement. Larry Craig is even worse than that. He tapped his foot.

It dosen't matter that the big O used someone elses speech without saying he did. That damn Goeglein stoled Harts stuff for his article. Impeach the entire administration.

You libs are so one sided you make me sick. You have to admit wrong when it pops up on both sides of the isle.

"You have to admit wrong when it pops up on both sides of the isle."

Right after you admit all the wrong that has already popped up on your side of the "isle".

'Cause you Republicans are about to be voted off.
