Those who are playing up this chatter about plagiarism are simply catching at straws. The Clinton campaign has found itself backed into a corner and are using every avenue to get itself free from that tight spot.

Every single soul uses phrases and statements made by others. What is the origin of catch phrases and cliches? Most people on earth use them both without having the faintest idea who is the originator of either. This include presidents, princes, queens and ordinary people like myself.

I have no evidence but it would not surprise me if Madame Clinton does the same thing and I feel confident that other high stake figures like JFK, MLK and others have done the same for ages. What will the Clinton camp toss up as an excuse when she is found to be using other peoples thoughts and statements? I will be listening.

I commend the Clinton group for making such a thing a talking point but its not worth it in real terms. It is really asking quite a bit to ask people who are speaking publicly, every day for 18 months to make sure that every word spoken is their own. I would hate to be painted into such a small corner.

The media is obviously looking for something to run with so this plagiarism thing is probably a good nugget for them. Let's just expect it to blow away shortly because its not worth the time.. and it certainly is not worth the energy.
