7. Hillary Xeroxs Primary Colors, too!!!!
http://www.danieldrezner.com/archives/003724.html

Hello, pot? It's Hillary Clinton's kettle calling!!

Hillary Clinton, February 21, 2008 debate with Barack Obama: "You know, lifting whole passages from someone else's speeches is not change you can believe in, it's change you can Xerox."

Hillary Clinton, later on in the same debate: "You know, the hits I've taken in life are nothing compared to what goes on every single day in the lives of people across our country."

Jack Stanton speech, in Primary Colors (New York: Random House, 1996), p. 162: "Y'know, I've taken some hits in this campaign. It hasn't been easy for me, or my family. It hasn't been fair, but it hasn't been anything compared to the hits a lot of you take every day."

8. Hillary Xeroxed Edwards in her closing remark
It's all over the web now and even some commentators said so.

9. Hillary is being silly about this ...

Not only is this issue unlikely to gain traction amongst a population that regularly parrots popular lingo, it's farsical to think this has any bearing on the office. Her husband regularly had speeches written for him as president. To his credit, he has the ability to diverge from the text and return to it (and ability I believe she lacks). However, every president has a team of speechwriters with which they collaborate to form their message.

Suggesting that O'Bama is borrowing good lingo is like accusing him of having the oratorical gifts of her husband. It's like jazz, you take it, tweak it, mix it and make it your own.

12. Most candidates have speech writers and Obama conceded he borrowed the lingo from Patrick.
;)

Nice try.
