The Clinton campaign’s effort to brand Barack Obama as a plagiarist, for borrowing some lines from his friend Deval Patrick, is truly sigh inducing. Even worse is Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson’s tacit acknowledgment (in the midst of the attack), that Hillary has been borrowing language from Obama himself. Wolfson alleges that this doesn’t matter, because “Sen. Clinton is not running on the strength of her rhetoric.” Carpetbagger Report agrees with him: “Senator Clinton is running on the strength of whatever bogus attack she can come up with to attack Obama with every day.” Yup.
Supplemental: Is That Legal? amusingly notes that many of Deval’s own lines were “stolen.”
