Plagiarism remarks boomerang for Clinton

Clinton was rather predictably asked about Obama’s supposed plagiarism, and responded to it with the catchy even if canned “Change you can Xerox” phrase. Despite being clever, it drew boos from the Texas crowd who were sick of political “silly season”. In what has got to be the most ironic moment of the night, her end remarks - which brought the crowd to a standing ovation - looks like they were lifted from comments John Edwards had made:

Although I don’t really expect Hillary to be writing her own material, it seems a bit to close to Mr. Edwards remarks for comfort. Additionally, its not like Edwards is on Hillary’s staff and extremely unlikely that he told her to use parts of his speech.

    Hi,

    I just posted a new video on YouTube with a side-by-side comparison between Edwards’ and Hillary’s closing lines. Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhwQk8yhunw

    Please check it out and spread the word!

    Btw, I don’t really care that she used Edwards’ lines, but it’s certainly pretty ironic that she fell in her own trap…
