    @Timbuktom

    Plagarism, is that the worst you can come up with?

    I love how Repubs try to play manly all the time (I'm related to all-too-many of them so I know) yet flaunt pink-hankie transgressions like this in your face.

    "No Lapel Pin!"

    "Funny Name!"

    "Knew a radical when he was a kid!"

    and now....(snare drum roll):

    "Plagerism! Um, 20 years ago, but PLAGERISM!"

    And as to:

    "It's going to become more and more apparent to voters that the experience and knowledge needed to be president is not at the top of the [Democratic] ticket," commented one Republican operative.

    OTOH, when Dick Cheney picked himself to be VP, the word was: "gravitas. He has the gravitas Shrub lacks. That's a good thing, see?"

    Pointing out such blatant contradictions may even get through a rightie's thick skull, you never know until you try.
