Oh dear me.
I thought he was shallow, but a lazy plagiarist as well?
George Bush Book ‘Decision Points’ Lifted From Advisers’ Books – Huffington Post.
One funny example:
From Decision Points, p. 143: “Later that day, Laura and I went to the Washington Hospital Center to visit victims from the Pentagon…I asked one if he was an Army Ranger. Without missing a beat, he answered, ‘No, sir, I’m Special Forces. My IQ is too high to be a Ranger.'”
From Ari Fleischer’s Taking Heat, p. 161: “The President entered the room of a major in the Army Special Forces who was expected to make a full recovery. ‘Thank you for your service to your country,’ Bush said…’Are you a ranger?’ The major piped up, ‘My IQ is too high to be a Ranger.'”
Plenty more where that came from.
How exactly is it plagiarism if they are both relating the same story that they both were in the room for ?
Hi Tom.
Consider the pattern demonstrated by the other fifteen examples.
Too many instances have been highlighted (and so quickly), including the Karzai inauguration “you are my men” comment … which Bush reports, as if he had been there.. but he wasn’t. -P
