Wonkette: Chuck Norris Commits Plagiarism In His Column All the Time
http://wonkette.com/444199/chuck-norris-plagiarizes-in-his-column-all-the-time

By Jack Stuff

-----------------

Yesterday, we were writing a joke about Chuck Norris copy-and-pasting other people’s “information” into his column when we realized, yes, this is probably exactly what he did. We checked, and, what do you know, he did plagiarize parts of that op-ed. Is it surprising the man who’s responsible for stuff like this isn’t exactly intellectually honest? No. But it is rather surprising he got this by Creators Syndicate, which, despite the man being known for kicking rather than rousing political commentary, manages to place his column in actual newspapers and also crappy conservative websites like WoldNetDaily, Townhall, NewsBusters, the American Family Association, and Human Events. And it’s even more surprising considering Chuck Norris plagiarizes in his column hilariously often, according to today’s WONKETTE INVESTIGATION.

We have yet to receive comment from Norris or Creators Syndicate on yesterday’s column, which already appears on the websites of WND, the AFA, and Townhall. NewsBusters, which has yet to post it on their site, said they would contact Creators Syndicate and “suggest they have a problem.” Will Creators Syndicate stand up to Norris and ask him to explain himself? Or does his reputation strike fear into their hearts? We’ll have to see.

We’ve only made it through the columns published by Norris in the past two months or so, but it’s pretty clear he doesn’t see any problem with lifting the writing of others to fill out his inane viewpoints.

Actual examples from the link. Color me shocked (Not really). Also, new fodder for truly stupid Chuck Norris jokes? Yes...yes, I think so.

2. Wasn't he just made a Texas Ranger by Perry?
Do Laws mean anything at all to Republicans?
