Bush aide quits after admitting plagiarism
What's new?
A public relations aide to US President George W Bush has quit after admitting to plagiarising an academic in a newspaper column on education…
After a review of his published columns since 2000, the Fort Wayne-based newspaper added on Friday that 20 had been “found to have portions copied from other sources without attribution…”
The Associated Press describes Timothy Goeglein’s role as “President Bush’s middleman with conservatives and Christian groups…”
The plagiarism was brought to light by a blogger, Nancy Nall, who posted a comparison of a Goeglein column with a Dartmouth College essay by Prof Jeffrey Hart on the goal of education.
You can’t tell the crooks in the White House apart without a scorecard.
