Bush Resigns Because of Plagiarism

A White House official who serves as President Bush's middleman with conservatives and Christian groups has resigned after admitting to plagiarism. Twenty columns he wrote for an Indiana newspaper were determined to have material copied from other sources without attribution.

Timothy Goeglein, who has worked for Bush since 2001, acknowledged that he lifted material from a Dartmouth College publication and presented it as his own work in a column about education for The News-Sentinel in Fort Wayne, Ind.

The short headline on Washington story White House-Plagiarism, which moved at 6:35 p.m. EST, has been killed. A presidential aide resigned, not Bush.

Awww crap.  I knew it was too good to be true.

White House aide caught red-handed plagiarizing

This is rich.

White House special assistant Timothy Goeglein, director of the Office of Public Liaison, wrote a guest editorial in July on the 100th birthday of John Wayne for the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel.

It begins with this well-crafted and stirring paragraph:

If we could scale down the pantheon of 20th Century actors to those with screen personas so resonant that their images remain available via plaster busts and lamps still sold in novelty stores decades after their deaths, John Wayne, whose centenary is this year, shares that particular down-market upper-tier.

Which is beautifully written, except someone else deserves credit for it.
