But of course it might have.

My hemorrhoids cause me to do squirrel y things all the time and they’re not nearly as bad as PTSD.

Another Obama-style, “You didn’t do that!” moment. Always blame somebody or something else when YOU screw up!

I’m SHOCKED that “Democrat” is mentioned in this story.

All other stories I’ve seen on this it’s not mentioned or it’s buried deep in the story. Remember, most newspaper ‘readers’ don’t go past the first couple paragraphs.

Nice dis...

“In recent memory, Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, was the last prominent politician to be in hot water for plagiarism. As It’s All Politics reported, Paul was accused of lifting language from Wikipedia and news articles for several speeches.”

The liberal spin:

“PTSD caused me to commit plagiarism.. and while that is true, if the Republicans wouldn’t stand in the way of funding for veterans’ mental health care, PTSD would not be the problem it is now... all the more reason Montanans should send me to the Senate to fix that mess.”
