"Borrowed words"
Hillary has "borrowed words" from Mario Cuomo, Obama, and of course hubby Bill. What is interesting is that her campaign wouldn't guarantee that Hillary hasn't lifted someone else's rhetoric without crediting them.

The Clinton Campaign Just Now...
February 18, 2008 11:33 AM
In a conference call just now the Clinton campaign would not guarantee that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, has never used someone else's rhetoric without crediting them.
I asked Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson and Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass, if they could assure the public that neither Clinton nor McGovern has ever done what Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, did when he used the rhetoric of Gov. Deval Patrick without footnoting him.
They would not.
In fact, Wolfson seemed to say it wouldn't be as big a deal if it were discovered that Clinton had "lifted" such language.
"Sen. Clinton is not running on the strength of her rhetoric," Wolfson said.
