WH Aide Admits Plagiarizing Article
Goeglein was contrite in admitting that he passed off work as his own that he had copied from others. Goeglein sent an e-mail to the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, which reported the allegations today, saying, "It is true. I am entirely at fault. It was wrong of me. There are no excuses."
Goeglein informed his superiors at the White House this morning. White House Press Secretary Dana Perino released the following statement.
Tim Goeglein has loyally served President Bush for over seven years and worked tirelessly on his behalf to promote the President's policies. Among his contributions, Tim helped establish the President's Faith-Based and Community Initiative, and the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. He also played an important role in the confirmation of Supreme Court Justices Roberts and Alito.Nancy Nall, the former News-Sentinel columnist, has been receiving reader comment son her blog pointing to other columns by Goeglein that contain apparent similarities to published articles. Thus far, at least four additional instances of plagiarism by Goeglein involving three other publications have been documented by Nall's blog.
Today, Tim accepted responsibility for the columns published under his name in his local newspaper, and has apologized for not upholding the standards expected by the President. The President was disappointed to learn of the matter, and he was saddened for Tim and his family. He has long appreciated Tim's service, and he knows him to be a good person who is committed to his country. President Bush accepted Tim's resignation today.

(LOL) change? Obama is a plaigerist too. RENT A CRANE AND PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND! - Maybe this is evidence of MORE similarities Obama has with REPUBLICANS. At least this guy was decent enough to admit his inexcusable behavior and resign!

Hillary will be forced to suspend her presidential campaign very soon, very latest being March 7th. It is more than likely she will drop out before March 4th than her taking it all the way to the convention rather than lose face. It's a whatever. But, the most inevitable is she doesn’t make it past Texas/Ohio. Just not in her cards or stars or numbers. PLUS, the political arena, talk show hosts, anatomizers,those superdelegates, pundits and polls, are indicators of Hillary's pulse factor. The eyes and ears of America are on Hillary Death Watch. I for one, do not support going back to the past to pick a president, a woman or a man that tries to re-capture a 3rd term White House. That is going 8+ years backwards. Reminds me of the Roy Roger's song lyrics, "back in the saddle again, out where a friend is a friend." Don't forget those friendly lobbists that ALL own a piece of Clinton and her actions. Back in the saddle is not the futuristic way to go; future means a forward
movement. Serious times are best handled by those with new ideas, not by ideas that have not worked for the American people who stand on the brink of seeing a collapse of out dollar and a war costing trillions that we should have never fought. Americans are looking for the hope they lost in the Bush regime. Looking for the dream they lost in the Bush regime, Looking for a new leader that won't get lost in White House corruption and jump the gun to WAR. The weary voters are ready for change; bold new blood with longivity on their side that can last two terms and that is what it will take to heal what is broke and bring America back to the country that gains homeland respect and respect abroad. The critics will not be able to stop the voting surge and the people will take their government back and restore what the moth-eaters have corrupted.

ANGEL: Just joshing Angel. It is Feb 29th cause it is LEAP YEAR. And we are leaping right into Mini-Super Tuesday with BARACK OBAMA leading and HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON pulling out. The votes are too strung out now for her to win the nomination. She has been placed in a NO WIN situation that their is no way out of and nowhere to turn but concede. That is how the ball bounced 2008, which is being claimed as the most historical and championed of all time. Most turnouts ever in rallys and cacuses and voters alike.
LOL LOL LOL9:17AMMar 1st 2008
Guess Bush should not have attacked Obama recently or Hillary attacked Obama recently about palgerism. Hillary set the trend attacking Obama for plagerism. Been said, "pay backs a dog and what goes around comes around 180 degrees. Plagerism at the TOP eh? The White House's dirty linen is arriving bundlle at a time! Only a matter of time till it all hangs out. Expect more FLAP to come.

Someone needs to a write a book called "PARTNERS IN CRIME." Appears the White House is where smug slugs gather to commit to anything goes rather than be committed to the voters. Penal service records are a White House Gift--that keeps on giving. :-) GIVE US A BREAK.

Yeah, when Hillarys phone rings at 3 AM sh'e not thinking about national security. She'd thinking, 'damn, Bills drunk with some bimbo again'.

I type too much! No surprise there.

The Obamakins are voting for someone they know nothing about, that is why they are voting! go to www.jewishpress.com
The media gave us George Bush twice, a war in Irag and Obama - the man was not frozen in an ice bucket. Don't you know propaganda when you see it.
Now some idiot, Obama, says he has good judgement that never saw the intelegence reports because he had a mind meld on knowing everything. If that sort of thinking is what you want for President, we deserve to go bankrupt. The American people bought it again!
Why did the media not report the "Downey Street Memo". We got it two years after the fact. I found out because I e-mailed a British Newspaper - Americans are not free, you cannot be free to make good choices to be protected if large corporations own and distribute the news. Thomas Jefferson Those anchor people read off of scripts. I think I am watching the movie Dumb and Dumber, and it is the people that are voting for Obama.

L~ASS IN ARIZONA (I think I am watching the movie Dumb and Dumber, and your comment is DUMB) Get you're jollies off yet? Keep jacking! Obama is winning. So what does that make you? A Majority RULES DUMBO. Just cause Hillary can't bring it home to you doesn't make the majority dumb.

How sad!
Another Bush administration scandal - what else is new!
That is the reason I am voting for Barack Obama what this nation needs is change.....
We Know the Clinton’s
We know John McCain
We don’t know Barack Obama.
I don’t like what I know about the Clinton’s.
John McCain is a Clone of George Bush!
I’ll take a chance on Barack Obama.
He has to be better then the other two choices!
