Nutjob Sheriff not joining DHS after all

Thank goodness. I guess he was too nutty for even this nuttiest of all administrations.

Trump fanboy that wants to work for him and in many ways just like him is too phony for his government position?

A review by CNN's KFILE found that Clarke plagiarized sections of his 2013 master's thesis on US security, failing to correctly attribute his sources at least 47 times.

He seems like a natural for Trump University.

A gross national shame averted.

You mean like Mike Barnicle who stole 80 lines from George Carlin. Darling of MSNBC.

Oh yes. The ethics of 'borrowing' in the stand-up comedy culture are an exact parallel to the academic standards of the Naval Postgraduate School.

He foot noted his sources, but did not put them in quotation marks.

The only reason it ever came up is because he is a right leaning black man.

All of a sudden playing the race card is valid and righteous? Ha ha.

And right-leaning? Leaning? You be spinning, spinning!

It was plagiarism, he presented other people's words as his own. How serious is a matter of judgement and opinion. The opinion that counts will be that of the reviewers at the Naval Postgraduate School.

Nothing new. You do remember Clarence Thomas and Anita whatever suddenly remembering something she though was inappropriate.

Wonder how much she made off of that.

Plagiarism isn't really the problem, the problem is we have a bunch if mean spirited assholes running the country.

That makes the United States a mean spirited asshole country and it's people, well they seem to be just fine with the lying, the assholery, the hypocrisy and the outright corruption...., so that makes the people of the US of A...liars...and assholes, and hypocrites too, and oddly very proud of it. It's as if this country has abandoned any semblance of values, and the world is taking notice.
