Pakistani journalist upset by George Bush 'plagiarism'
By Alastair Lawson BBC News

Ahmed Rashid is one of Pakistan's most respected journalists

The Pakistani journalist Ahmed Rashid has told the BBC of his disappointment that parts of his work appear to have been plagiarised by President Bush.

Mr Rashid said that it was never a compliment when politicians plagiarise ideas or comments from journalists without acknowledging their work.

A US website said last week that Mr Bush's book was remarkably similar to previously published writings.

The former president has not commented on the allegations, but his publisher was reported last week as saying that if there were similarities in his work with that of other writers, it only confirms the accuracy of Decision Points.

[The Wielding Truth]

1. If Bush and CO. ever stop twisting the truth we all should have a big party.

2. George AWOL Bush is a Compleat Republicon

He has dodged reponsibility, honesty, and honor his whole life -- no wonder the Republicon Homelanders admire him as a Hero for their cause. No wonder Americans disdain him.

3. Can Bush even be a plagiarist when he didn't write his own book?

And probably never read it, either?

4. At least we know little boots knows how to use the "cut 'n paste"

function on his puter. He probably spent the last 2 years reading Amazon.com book reviews on books about him, and cut and pasted all the good things he thought about himself. He's such an embarrassment to the country.
