[FONT=arial, helvetica][SIZE=+1]Joseph Biden's Plagiarism; Michael Dukakis's 'Attack Video' – 1988
[/SIZE][/FONT]Democratic presidential candidate Joseph R. Biden Jr., a U.S. senator from Delaware, was driven from the nomination battle after delivering, without attribution, passages from a speech by British Labor party leader Neil Kinnock. A barrage of subsidiary revelations by the press also contributed to Biden's withdrawal: a serious plagiarism incident involving Biden during his law school years; the senator's boastful exaggerations of his academic record at a New Hampshire campaign event; and the discovery of other quotations in Biden's speeches pilfered from past Democratic politicians.
The controversy became two frenzies in one when it was disclosed that the campaign of Massachusetts Gov. Michael S. Dukakis had earlier secretly distributed to several news media outlets an "attack video" juxtaposing the Biden and Kinnock speeches and revealing Biden's word theft. The Dukakis campaign at first stonewalled and denied any part in the tape's distribution, but when the truth emerged Dukakis was forced to fire his campaign manager, John Sasso, and political director, Paul Tully – the two who had orchestrated the maneuver. Dukakis himself insisted he had no prior knowledge of their actions, and though wounded, his candidacy survived the incident.
I thought we had a great thinker in the VP seat but apparently we don't. Another Potato/Potatoe VP?
We here in Michigan love Biden, he brings money to help Jenny hide her wasting our money and the fact that the Democrats of the state ran it into the ground. It don't matter to the uneducated union masses that they are losing their jobs because of the WH and congress who just happen to be democrats and what ever the dems do, it is good enough for them. Who cares if VP biden can't tell the difference between a car and a train, he is smart enough to tell what a 7-11 and an articulated black guy is - or did he get that from someone else too?
