Lemme show you how we do plagiarism in Ohio
A Ten and a Zero (also their dress sizes)
The woman on the Right is a naturalized citizen who, once she emigrated from her native Slovenia, took a job no American is willing to do – bearing Donald Trump’s spawn. She has not been seen since plagiarizing Michelle Obama’s speech in honor of Barack to extol her last H-1B sponsor and current husband, a cretinous Orange-a-Tan. Her fake resume website claiming a degree in “architecture and design” has also disappeared from public view.
The woman on the Left is my Congresswoman from Ohio’s Third District, whom I am proud to have voted for every time I’ve seen her name on a ballot. She has a Masters in Psychology, sits on the Financial Services Committee in the US House of Representatives, and knows how to dial plagiarism up to “Fierce!”
Joyce Beatty, you ROCK!
Yes, your Congresscritter rocks, as does mine (Carolyn Maloney). Well done!
1This is what passes for plagiarism as done by HRC. According to Messr Coyote, HRC should attribute a quote to someone the quote doesn’t belong to- or not. I’m not sure what he is saying.

Plagiarism seems to be all the rage these days as Hillary uses a supposed quote of Alexis de Tocqueville, “…that America is great — because America is good.” in her acceptance speech.
Now this quote has been shown not to have been de Tocqueville’s although the words encapsulate the essence of “Democracy in America”. And while many politicians have used this quote throughout the years, it at least has been indirectly attributed as in Eisenhower’s attribution to “a wise philosopher [who] came to this country. . . .”.
Yet, with Hillary, we get no such indirect attribution so we are left with the impression that those words are her’s alone. At least she could have used the whole quotation, “America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.”, instead of her truncation
2And, might I add, that your Joyce Beatty is one gorgeous woman … much more so then the gal on the right! LOL
3When you can’t have fun with the absurdity then just have fun … period!!
Nevada is doing its best to assist in the Congressional makeover by sending Catherine Cortez Masto to the Senate.

Florida, do your part wherein Debbie WTF Schultz becomes Debbie STFU Schultz.
And, Texas y’all know what you need to do.
4I still hate those stupid sleeves. Fugly!
5“Orange-A-Tan”!! Simply stellar!
6Congresswoman Beatty looked great and I heard her say that she was not sure it was the same dress, but “When I wore it, I used my own words”. Perfect.
7Woohoo!

8No tears for Melania. She knew what she was getting into and, well, as it appears that she has no problem with lying and no problem having intercourse with that that horrid thing. Disappeared. Hmm interesting. Your congress lady is one very fine example of intelligence, hard work, competence and a whole slew of other good things. We need, no must have many more.
9The very mean expression “white trash” was used in the US South to stereotype poor whites–it was not meant to apply to people who were good, decent poor people, but to those whose behavior was, indeed, trashy. Of course, the expression was often misused.
Visiting my friend and her husband in the early ’60s, she described their new neighbors as “trash.” The husband objected to that description, saying, “They are rich.” My friend responded, correctly, “Rich people can be trash.”
10That is one witty congresswoman, and I’ll bet she didn’t pay the $2,000 Melania did.
11“No tears for Melania. She knew what she was getting into and, well, as it appears that she has no problem with lying and no problem having intercourse with that that horrid thing.”
I’m not shedding tears for someone with their own airplane. however, in fairness, I suspect this isn’t what she bought into, when she married the talking yam. yeah, she was supposed to be eye and arm candy for his business doings, and she was ok with that, the material rewards were certainly worth having to get groped by a bunch of old white guys at parties. she did not, I suspect, anticipate being a politician’s spouse, which is a whole other thing, and one for which she is woefully unprepared.
by the time this election is over, the media will have a done an electronic proctology exam on her and her husband both. he may not have a problem with it, but I have a feeling she is going to be far less than happy constantly being under a microscope every day. it isn’t like modeling, where you can go hide in a cave, between shoots. it wouldn’t at all surprise me if she has some kind of breakdown, long before Nov.
12Thanks for the link Chloe Bear. That’s great news. SnacilbupeR are going Down!
epo, is SD’s voter ID law to restrict American Indian voting gone down? Is it in the courts? Damn dirty stinkin’ SD snacilbupeR.
13Debbo-haven’t heard a thing about it yet. Maybe Cory will know.
14Getting better? Dumb question,I know. You is female, you get better with age. 🙂
Yes, I’m great. Getting out and around on my knee walker today. Woo-hoo!
15(Foot surgery last Monday, if anyone is wondering.)
Primo your congress lady and Drumpf’s immigrant made yer Wonkette today. Congrats are in order.
16Creepy crummy snacilbupeR John Kline is retiring (yay!) In Minnesota’s 2nd District. Angie Craig is going to beat wingnut radio talk show host Jason (?) in November to be my new, awesome Congresswoman!

17Okay, so this is kinda off subject, but when you get a chance check out the story on the onion ” Trump sick and tired mainstream media always trying to put his words into some sort of context”. Yeah, it’s the onion, but it’s pretty funny since despite being outrageous, it’s pretty close to being true.
18Almost forgot. The story itself is mama safe, but some other headlines are not.

twitter comments are solid gold.
20Debbo-that would be Jason Lewis v Angie Craig.
21Ivanka! Err-Reich! Cheeto Junior! Give your father back his phone this instant!! Slow news day on cable and old Chris over at Cold Puck is having trouble getting his tingle on without twitter.
22That is just sooo wrong!
23That is just so hilariously wrong.
LMAO thanks!
epo–Since Hilary did’t use the whole quote, she wasn’t plagiarizing so much as paraphrasing. True, she could have attributed the paraphrase, but it has been hashed and rehashed so much as to pretty much lose its association with any individual, and the linguists I follow aren’t too darned sure where it really originated. (The first person to have used it in a speech may very well have heard it in the local vernacular, anyway.) So attribution really is probably pretty hopelessly inaccurate at best and mostly just unnecessary.
24For anyone who has any even slight sympathy for Melania… please stop. She knew who she was marrying. If not, well, the expression “look before you leap” seems appropo.
Add it up and this train wreck of a campaign is over. Madame President or Madman President? Choose.
25I agree with JAKvirginia–Melania agreed to a business deal. It is a deal that many women would never agree to, but she made it and must live with it. This reminds me of a horrid 1950s’ joke: A man says to a woman–“Would you sleep with me for one million dollars?” The woman replies “Yes.” Then the man says, “How about two dollars?” The woman says “No.” The man replies, “We have established that you are a whore–now we are just negotiating about the price.”
26OT: Today, Pence denounced “name calling in public life”. Well, crap! What will Trump tweet about now?
Folks, you just can’t make up stuff this nuts. Three more months of this garbage? Kill me now. Please.
27JAKvirginia, pictures and more pictures. The snacilbupeR can’t read. They want to talk Middle East; there’s a nice picture of Dubya kissing the Saudi Prince. Hacking really? Do they mean like us tapping Angela Merkel’s phone? Meh. Dubya did try to make that up to her with a back rub. That was a nice photo op. Speaking of hacking, Donnie, maybe your good buddy Vlad can help you release your tax returns. BTW Donnie, there is a nice Muslim gentleman, a Gold Star father, who has generously offered to share his copy of the US Constitution with you; I’ll be happy to throw in a copy of the UCMJ, too.
Oh and Donnie, Kareem gave a shout out to you. He introduced himself as Michael Jordan because he didn’t think you could tell the difference. Now go fire your ‘intern’ that you told to tweet “Hi” to Michael Jordan.
28@epo
Don Coyote and his little buddy Sancho Panda?
29That infamous back rub . . . Dubya had to be drunk.
30Donnie has the snacilbupeR running scared. Their spin and ‘concern’ trolling is delicious. They’re so “worried” about Hilz’ voice. How soon they forget. To my recollection Hilz testified for HOURS and it was Trey Gowdy who looked like a ruined sweat ball. Now about those debates. I am sure that Team Hilz will deliver her to the stage in fine voice. Nothing some hot tea or a throat lozenge can’t fix. Whereas Team Drumpf has a major problem. They have no way of repairing that mess inside Donnie’s head or preventing him from firing off his salad shooter mouth.
Relax folks. Think of the question, then picture Hilz simply decimating Donnie. Will Donnie sleaze out of even participating in debates #2 and 3?
BTW I’m going with “Hilz”, until it’s time for me to address her as Madame President. Noticed that most of her team has gone with “Hillary” lately instead of Secretary/Senator. Probably part of softening her image, so “Hilz” it is, unless I detect a shift in the plan.
maggie, I’ve heard Dubya referred to as a “dry drunk.” Sure seems to account for the fact he never seemed sober whether he had a drop of beer or not.

32PKM – funny and deeply disturbing.
33Good God – how can anybody who’s endured more than 10 seconds of the cacophonous skrawking that is Sarah Palin ever complain about ANY other human voice?!?
34@pkm, I have found that addressing the candidates, President, former Presidents, etc, by “honorific-name” REALLY takes the wind out of snacilbupeR sails in any, er, discussion. And they don’t seem to know what to do about it, especially the older crowd-I mean, what’s to object to about a courteous use of someone’s name in a respectful fashion?! It’s on their personal lists of “what’s wrong with America” that people don’t do that anymore, and it alters the tone of the conversation, fast! And, for fun, you can listen to the teeth grinding and choking as they try to play along…
35PKM, you find the best stuff.
