Do democrats consider Biden once getting in trouble for plagarizing someone elses campaign at all a problem?
This is the source from wikpedia so you know I did not make it up because I am a independent or something Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden, Jr., the Democratic United States Senator from Delaware since 1973, was a candidate for President of the United States in the 1988 United States presidential election. Biden announced his candidacy in June 1987, and was considered one of the potentially strongest candidates in the field. However, in September 1987, newspaper stories stated he had plagiarized a speech by British politician Neil Kinnock. Other allegations of past law school plagiarism and exaggerating his academic record soon followed. Biden withdrew from the race later that month.
Public Comments
- Don't forget Obama's other buddy Ted Kennedy who actually had someone else take his exam for him in law school.
- Politicians are human, and we all make mistakes. It's not worse than getting a DUI, which is what George Bush got back when he was younger. At least plagiarism doesn't put anybody's life in immediate danger!
- Nope I bet it was of his aides that did it but Biden took the blame.
- Plagiarism is not a comparison to torture, shredding the Constitution and the intentional dis-empowerment of the government. The results of which see today in the most tenuous times in three generations. No, I'd rather a VP guilty of no more that generous misappropriation of a phrase than the horror was Dick Cheney.
