“Poshard said he took “full responsibility’’ for the mistakes and cried at one point during a news conference ...”

This man’s got a real future in the Democrat (women, gays and lesbians, blacks, and unions, according to Gore’s campaign manager Donna Brazile) Party, hayna? Or no?

"We can't be a university that only decides things on the basis of our head,'' he said. "We also have a heart.''

The standard applied to Democrats fraud.

Dittos.

Anybody who is ignorant of the meaning of word “plagarism” is not worthy of an advanced degree (or even an undergrad degree for that matter).

Two words:

Admiral Boorda

Where's the surprise? Just another case of lying libs protecting their own. Heck, anybody can inadvertently quote others without attribution 40 times - give the guy a break!

[Bonaparte]

Yeah, Boorda. Sad, sad, sad. But you’ll never find that kind of honor among civilians, especially not among journalists or academics.

[Clintonfatigued]

It was dumb, that’s for sure. Whether it was anything more is uncertain.

That being said, while in Congress, Poshard wasn’t the worst of his party.

[glorgau]

Glen Poshard is going to get the Martin Luther King scholastic achievement medal for this year.

Heck, this poor innocent, clearly a helpless victim, was just taking Tom Lehrer's advice:

Plagiarize,
Let no one else's work evade your eyes,
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes,
So don't shade your eyes,
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize...
Only be sure always to call it please, "research."

(Sarcasm tag not really necessary, is it?)
