Plagiarize Josh Marshall Monday

Hey kids, welcome to, “Let’s Plagiarize from Josh Marshall Monday!” Yes, today it’s everyone’s responsibility to take the words of uber-blogger Josh Marshall, mash them up and pretend they’re yours! Inspired by noted Beltway Plagiarist Maureen Dowd, this promises to be the newest and most important grassroots movement in the history of journalism. So let me begin:

In GQ, Robert Draper does a first look back at Don Rumsfeld’s tenure at the DOD, with a focus on internal briefing documents which wrapped the day’s military events out of Iraq with smoteful biblical quotations about the righteous conquering the wicked and the infidel.

Bernard Avishai on the many reasons to see Bibi Netanyahu for exactly what he is.

Next Thursday, former Vice President Cheney will give a speech at the American Enterprise Institute making a global case for the Bush administration’s use of torture and indefinite detainment of suspected terrorists as core parts of its War on Terror.

See how fun and easy that was? Seriously, it took me just three minutes to write this whole post, because Josh Marshall already wrote it for me.

Now, while some of you may feel nervous that you could be violating ethical and legal rules by stealing someone else’s words, don’t worry. Just do like Maureen Dowd and blame it on a friend! Then, either don’t name that friend, or give the invented friend a pseudonym – like “Cutand Paste.”

So get out there and spread the word of Josh Marshall while pretending that it’s all your original thoughts. No one will be the wiser, and you could get a key position on the New York Times Op-ed staff for your trouble! Because if using Josh Marshall’s words is good enough for Maureen Dowd, it’s good enough for dirty hippie bloggers like us!

My original response to Maureen Dowd Plagiarism allegations

In light of the recent allegations that Beltway insider/all-star Maureen Dowd has plagiarized Josh Marshall, I have sat down and written out my original thoughts on this matter — WKW

The Neil Kinnock commercial did not lead to electoral success last May in Britain, but the 10-minute spot of the Labor Party leader’s passionate speeches, against a cool soundtrack of Brahms, raised his approval rating by 19 points and became an instant classic.

On this side of the Atlantic, many Presidential campaign strategists of both parties greatly admired the way it portrayed Mr. Kinnock, who subsequently lost to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, as a man of character. Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, a Democratic hopeful, was particularly taken with it.

So taken, in fact, that he lifted Mr. Kinnock’s closing speech with phrases, gestures and lyrical Welsh syntax intact for his own closing speech at a debate at the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 23 – without crediting Mr. Kinnock.

In the commercial, the Briton began, ”Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university?” Then pointing to his wife in the audience, he continued: ”Why is Glenys the first woman in her family in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Was it because all our predecessors were thick?”

Senator Biden began his remarks by saying the ideas had come to him spontaneously on the way to the debate. ”I started thinking as I was coming over here, why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university?” he said. Then, pointing to his wife, he continued: ”Why is it that my wife who is sitting out there in the audience is the first in her family to ever go to college? Is it because our fathers and mothers were not bright? Is it because I’m the first Biden in a thousand generations to get a college and a graduate degree that I was smarter than the rest?”

In his speech, Mr. Kinnock, an orator of great eloquence, rhetorically asked why his ancestors, Welsh coal miners, did not get ahead as fast as he. ”Did they lack talent?” he asked, in his lilting rhythm. ”Those people who could sing and play and recite and write poetry? Those people who could make wonderful beautiful things with their hands? Those people who could dream dreams, see visions? Why didn’t they get it? Was it because they were weak? Those people who could work eight hours underground and then come up and play football? Weak?”

Senator Biden’s Irish relations, it would seem, were similar, though they seemed to stay underground longer.

”Those same people who read poetry and wrote poetry and taught me how to sing verse?” continued Mr. Biden, whose father was a Chevrolet dealer in Wilmington. ”Is it because they didn’t work hard? My ancestors, who worked in the coal mines of Northeast Pennsylvania and would come up after 12 hours and play football for four hours?”

Of course, the football Mr. Biden’s forebears played may not have been the same game that the British refer to as football, but the Biden clan apparently was stymied by the same social forces that kept down the Kinnocks. How Both Men Concluded

As Mr. Kinnock concluded, clenching both fists: ”Does anybody really think that they didn’t get what we had because they didn’t have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment? Of course not. It was because there was no platform upon which they could stand.”

As Mr. Biden concluded, clenching one fist: ”No, it’s not because they weren’t as smart. It’s not because they didn’t work as hard. It’s because they didn’t have a platform upon which to stand.”

William Schneider, a political analyst at the American Enterprise Institute who was in London for the British elections this summer, brought back a tape of the commercial and gave one to his friend, Senator Biden, and to people in a couple of other campaigns.

At various campaign appearances last month, the Senator talked admiringly about Mr. Kinnock’s themes and incorporated phrases and concepts after first crediting the Briton. But, in his closing remarks at the Iowa State Fair forum, he did not mention the Labor leader, nor did he some days later in an interview when he recounted the positive response. Biden Elated at Iowa Debate

”I feel real good about that Iowa debate,” he said. ”I could tell when I was doing my close – that whole audience was absolute dead hushed silence. You can tell when you have it all. And the reason it worked there was, I was the last one. And I decided, I have no close. I didn’t have a closing. I’m walking in and they’re saying, ‘You’re going to this debate,’ and I said, ‘I don’t like this stuff you’ve written for me.’ ”It fit to do that there.” Advisers to the candidate said that, when it was pointed out to him after the debate that he had followed the Kinnock speech very closely, he was surprised and said he had not been aware of it. They stressed that the Senator had been immersed in difficult preparation for the hearings on Judge Robert H. Bork’s nomination to the Supreme Court, an important test for Mr. Biden’s political future.

”He was not trying to put something over,” said one adviser. ”He’s under a huge amount of pressure. He didn’t even know what he said. He was just on automatic pilot.”

But Mr. Biden’s borrowing raises questions about how much a candidate can adapt someone else’s language and thoughts, whether he remembers to give credit or not. ‘Speeches Are Not Copyrighted’

”As far as I know, political speeches are not copyrighted,” said Mr. Schneider, who gave Mr. Biden the tape. ”What he said was close to the Kinnock rhetoric, but on the other hand, it wasn’t untrue, was it?”

Others disagree, however, and think that – at the very least – Mr. Biden should not have indicated that he thought of the ideas himself on the way to the debate.

Thomas Donilon, Mr. Biden’s campaign aide, said that the Senator was traveling and did not care to comment on the similarities in the two speeches.

”To the degree it wasn’t attributed, it was an oversight or inadvertent,” said Mr. Donilon. Mr. Biden’s aides said the Senator had been deeply influenced by the Kinnock commercial – seeing a mirror image in the Labor leader’s youth and attractiveness and passionate oratory, and his message of compassion and building on past generations.

”The Kinnock message was really something that struck a chord with him,” said Mr. Donilon. ”He thought Kinnock was saying it well and it was something that struck him as consistent with his political message his whole political career, which has been based on a campaign for middle-class values.” Comment by Biden Aide

Mr. Donilon noted that Mr. Biden – who has been working to overhaul his message, which earlier included themes and words reminiscent of John F. Kennedy, as his campaign got off to a shaky start – had credited various ideas he took from Mr. Kinnock at several other campaign appearances. But, at those times, Mr. Biden was talking more generally about Mr. Kinnock’s concept of building a party that could be a platform for the middle class to improve their lives and the lives of their children.

Asked which of Mr. Biden’s relatives had been coal miners, Mr. Donilon said the Senator had not necessarily been referring to his own relatives but had been talking about the ”people that his ancestors grew up with in the Scranton region, and in general the people of that region were coal miners.”

Told that Mr. Biden had used the phrase, ”my ancestors,” Mr. Donilon said, ”Evidently he had a great-grandfather who worked in a mining company.” Asked the name of the man, the company and the sort of job he held, Mr. Donilon pronounced himself at a loss.

Newt Gingrich’s latest marriage is destroying the fabric of my potential divorce

Coming from a conservative upbringing, I have long held strong beliefs about marriage and the commitment that comes with eventually destroying said marriage. So when I married more than seven years ago, I set out on a path to make mine the most traditional marriage and divorce as possible. As my marriage has evolved, I have followed conservative principles as best as I could so I could have the type of marriage that emulated those of American heroes John McCain, Ronald Reagan and Rudy Giuliani. These men had cleared a path showing us all that wives were to be cheated on and then divorced.

Like these great men before me, I have spent a lot of time fighting with my wife, losing interest in her, being mentally and emotionally cruel to her and finally ignoring her entirely. According to the examples set for me, I was showing myself to be the perfect heterosexual husband. A well-earned divorce would most assuredly be mine.

But things have not worked out as I had planned. My wife has shown herself to be openly hostile to myself and my traditional divorce beliefs. At first, I believed that it was something I had done, but I realized this couldn’t be the case. Then I pondered on whether witches or other evil spirits had invaded my wife. My tests on this theory remain inconclusive. But it helped lead me to the ultimate explanation – the fabric of my divorce is being destroyed by Catholic leader Newt Gingrich.

Gingrich, you see, had long been the best example of what heterosexual marriage is all about. He would marry women, tire of them, cheat on them, and then divorce them. His conservative leadership in heterosexual marriage has been invaluable for millions of earnest, Christian, heterosexual men to follow.

These days, however, Gingrich has strayed from his traditional heterosexual marriage beliefs. Because while his current marriage started with such promise – he got together with his current wife while still married to another woman and while trying to impeach Bill Clinton for an extra-marital affair – it has slowly become something that is destroying the fabric of traditional divorce.

Gingrich has now been married to his third wife for going on nine years. And he has yet to publicly humiliate her by having a well-publicized affair. Basically, Gingrich has shown no interest in continuing to be an example for heterosexual men like myself. He has let us all down lo these nine years. He is destroying the fabric of my potential divorce.

You see, there has never been any scientific study done to prove that heterosexual men have a “commitment gene.” We heterosexual men have been given a gift from God – we can cheat and destroy our marriages at our own convenience. Gingrich has long been a heterosexual marriage champion, going so far as letting one of his previous wives know he didn’t want to be her husband anymore while she was recovering from cancer.

Some may say I’m overreacting. “Don’t worry, Bill. Newt will cheat again. Newt will get another divorce. Newt will embarrass and humiliate this latest wife as he did the first two.”

But I am not convinced. I am fearful that Gingrich has lost his conservative edge and may just stay married to his third wife. And by doing so, he’s making the rest of us – who believe the sanctity of marriage is defined by divorce – look bad.

So Newt, I implore you, please regain the strength of character that allowed you to repeatedly commit adultery. Show the world that traditional marriage, adultery and divorce are issues that you still believe in as much as you did while you were Speaker of the House. The future of heterosexual marriage, adultery and divorce are counting on it.

Say what you will, but – unlike the Chinese – Barack Obama will likely never force you to smoke

If you’ve spent any time watching Fox News over the last four months, you are well aware that the United States has gone from a freedom-loving democracy to a rancid pit of communism, fascism and nihilism. The government is out of control, and will gladly torture and jail any U.S. citizen that has the nereve to complain about it. Say what you will about Barack Obama, but – at least according to Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and the rest of the paycheck-before-principle entertainers at Fox News – the man is a communist party event planner of the highest order.

Still, Obama and his gang of socialist madmen still haven’t taken the U.S. government quite as far as China. Because they set the bar pretty high in the East. How high? The Chinese province of Hubei actually ordered government officials to smoke 230,000 packs of cigarettes.

It seems in China, the cigarette industry is a powerful one, and the edict came down so that the local government could make more in revenue. Officials that did not smoke their daily required amount of cigarettes were to be fined – which also is a good way to earn revenue.

Alas, after a public outcry, the “Smoke-or-else” edict was dropped. Of course, with one of every three cigarettes on the planet being smoked in China, it’s quite possible that the edict was a superfluous one, anyway.

So, remember kids, while Obama and his comrades are preparing torture camps to put all dissenters into, America is still the greatest nation on Earth. Because, even though Obama himself smokes, it’s about 45 percent certain he won’t demand all government workers to take up the habit in order to help pay down the debt. Maybe he’ll suggest a volunteer smoking program, but I’m sure that’s as far as it will go.

Shock and Amen: Let the War on God commence in full

It wasn’t long ago that we all celebrated our final, decisive victory in the War on Christmas. Once we saw that Fox News had taken to using the world “Holiday” repeatedly, it had become official. The dreaded scourge that was Christmas had once and for all been destroyed.

Of course, the celebration was kept to a minimum. That’s because we have bigger things in mind. Unfortunately, our secret plans have been made public by former White House spokesman Tony Snow. Now, the world is aware of the next stage of our battle.

So now it is time to commence the War on God.

Yes, God, who has brought us nothing but pain and suffering, and who has allowed humans to create WMDs is now in our cross hairs. And while we realize that God is a worthy foe, it is time to bring the battle to It. If we are ever to rid the world of violence, faith and WMDs, God must be destroyed. And with malice. Because if we don’t bring God down in horrific fashion, another God will just pop up to take Its place.

It is time for Operation Heaven Storm.

Many will feel its foolish to go after God, but God has shown time and time again that It is a mass-murdering megalomaniac that demands utter submission to Its will. A modern, enlightened society can not allow this God to continue unabated. It must be destroyed, once and for all. Only then can we move on to other targets.

Operation Heaven Storm will be the greatest secular military strike in the history of the Universe. It is a multiple-staged plan that will not just destroy God, but humiliate and humble It.

First comes the air attack. Using a tactic of Shock and Amen, we will carpet bomb heaven with specially made Heaven-busting tactical nukes. This will immediately show God and his minions that we mean business. After two to three months of non-stop bombing, we will send in ground troops. While many say God is omnipotent, we figure the tactical nuke attack will soften It up quite a bit. We will then hunt down God like the mangy dog It is.

Once God is in U.S. custody, we will immediately have someone punch it right in the face. Then we will spit on it and call It names.

Then the interrogation will begin. You see, God knows things. It knows a lot of things. Hell, It knows Everything. And we will squeeze every last ounce of information from God, one way or another.

God will then be sent via secret air service to Romania, where the full interrogation will begin. First, we will leave God naked in a cold cell for weeks at a time, while repeatedly playing the song “We Will Rock You” by Queen. God’s only interaction will be when guards throw freezing cold water on It. Also, twice a day interrogators will hurl insults at God, attach its genitalia to electrodes and shock them, and tell It that we will torture and murder both Jesus and the Virgin Mary unless he cooperates.

We expect God to put up a fight, however. The War on God will not be pretty, but it will be effective. We will send attack dogs at God four times a day, then smear feces all over God’s face, then sexually humiliate God in a variety of ways.

Then the waterboarding will begin, and continue until God finally breaks, spilling all the secrets to the universe, while sobbing and pissing itself.

Then, based on his multiple crimes against humanity, God, sans lawyer, will be taken to a military tribunal, where he will undoubtedly be found guilty and sentenced to death. God will then be left naked in a freezing cold cell for three more months, until we finally put a bullet in the back of It’s head. We will then decapitate God and stick It’s head on a stick in front of the shattered remains of Heaven. This will warn any and all other gods that we mean business and are not to be trifled with.

Then, and only then can we live in peace. The War on God will be won, and we will all rejoice.

God has said that It created humans in It’s own image. Therefore, as a humanoid, it is necessary that God be punished for its crimes. There would be no WMD if there were no God. There would be no terrorists. There would be no pedophile priests. These are creations of God. And it is time that It paid the price.

The War on God will not be easy, and we will suffer casualties, make no mistake. But in the end, we will win, and God will be no more. This monumental victory will be short lived, however, because God’s total destruction will lead to the next, much more difficult step in our agenda – Universal Health Care.

Introducing Williama K. Wolfruma Chroniclas for Womena!

Friends, I spend countless hours doing in-depth research on what my readers want. Normally I do this by just Googling “William K. Wolfrum” over and over again. This research has made it clear – the William K. Wolfrum Chronicles too often comes primarily from the perspective of one man in Brazil. What does this mean? Well, it means that all posts on this blog are completely incomprehensible to women.

Why we torture

August 2002

Abu Zubaydah is tortured by the CIA.

March 2003

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is tortured by the CIA.

June 2004

“The reason I keep insisting that there was a relationship between Iraq and Saddam and al-Qaeda is because there was a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaeda.” — George W. Bush

June 2004

This administration rejects torture. … I don’t think it’s productive, let alone justified.” – John Ashcroft

November 2005

“We do not torture.” — George W. Bush.

October 2007

“This government does not torture people … We stick to U.S. law and international obligations.” –George W. Bush

April 2009

A former senior U.S. intelligence official familiar with the interrogation issue said that Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld demanded that the interrogators find evidence of al Qaida-Iraq collaboration.

“There were two reasons why these interrogations were so persistent, and why extreme methods were used,” the former senior intelligence official said on condition of anonymity because of the issue’s sensitivity.

“The main one is that everyone was worried about some kind of follow-up attack (after 9/11). But for most of 2002 and into 2003, Cheney and Rumsfeld, especially, were also demanding proof of the links between al Qaida and Iraq that (former Iraqi exile leader Ahmed) Chalabi and others had told them were there.”

It was during this period that CIA interrogators waterboarded two alleged top al Qaida detainees repeatedly — Abu Zubaydah at least 83 times in August 2002 and Khalid Sheik Muhammed 183 times in March 2003 — according to a newly released Justice Department document.

Yesterday

“What I have learned is that as the administration authorized harsh interrogation in April and May of 2002–well before the Justice Department had rendered any legal opinion–its principal priority for intelligence was not aimed at pre-empting another terrorist attack on the U.S. but discovering a smoking gun linking Iraq and al-Qa’ida.

So furious was this effort that on one particular detainee, even when the interrogation team had reported to Cheney’s office that their detainee “was compliant” (meaning the team recommended no more torture), the VP’s office ordered them to continue the enhanced methods.” — Lawrence Wilkerson

Godwink’s Law

Godwink’s Law

“As a political discussion involving God gets more media coverage, the probability of Sarah Palin making herself part of the story approaches 1.”

Example: Today, Sarah Palin made a statement defending Miss California: “The liberal onslaught of malicious attacks against Carrie Prejean for expressing her opinion is despicable. Carrie and I spoke soon after the attacks started; I can relate as a liberal target myself. ”

addendum: GodWink’s Law also has a secondary meaning:

“As other stories capture the public interest, the probability of Sarah Palin thrusting herself into the news approaches 1.”

Man, 42, heartbroken as duck won’t give answer to marriage proposal

For several years, Tim Johnson and his duck Miriam cohabitated peacefully. This Valentine’s Day, however, Johnson decided it was time to take the next step.

“We’ve been together so long that I knew it was now or never,” said Johnson.

So Johnson went out and purchased a $1,500 ring from Zales, went home, knelt before his duck and proposed marriage. Sadly, his proposal was met with indifference.

“Miriam just ignored my proposal altogether,” said Johnson, 42. “It’s like she just didn’t care. She just wanted more bread crumbs, like usual.”

Being that the duck refused to give her consent to the marriage – and may, in fact, be underaged depending on Duck-to-Human age ratios – Johnson’s wedding plans will now be put on hold until Miriam can either speak, or sign her name to a marriage consent form. For Johnson, however, the disappointment has changed the relationship.

“I really thought we had something,” said Johnson. “But, you know, if she won’t even answer my proposal, maybe it’s time to trade in the ring for some sweet and sour sauce.”

Miriam the Duck was unable to comprehend the request to be interviewed for this story, and thus had no comment.

Twitter improves interface by removing Tweet function

As the popularity of the social-media Web site Twitter has exploded, Twitter management has refused to rest on its laurels and is constantly looking to improve its product.

After a small settings update on Wednesday that was designed to make things easier for users, tomorrow the social media giant will make another small update, by taking away users’ ability to comment, or Tweet.

“We feel we’ve come a long way, but our research shows we can do better,” said a Twitter spokesperson. “As it is now, Twitter is confusing to many. So by adjusting the settings to make it impossible for anyone to comment, we feel Twitter will have the sleek, easy-to-use interface everyone enjoys.”

Starting Thursday, all Twitter pages will now look like this:

“It’s really sleek, I’ll say that,” said one Twitter user via his Facebook account. “I think what bothered many about Twitter was all the words and random conversations. Now it really has something to offer anyone.”

While some will view the new-Twitter look with anger, the Twitter spokesperson said they will continue to make changes to make the site acceptable to all.

“Tweets have far too long dominated Twitter,” said the spokesperson. “Now that we’ve eliminated them, we still feel we can do more.

“In fact, on Friday, we’ll make one more small settings update that will make things really easy for Twitter users,” added the spokesperson. “From now on, when you type in the Twitter URL, you’ll be automatically transferred to www.google.com. That should really free up user interfaces.”

Silly Sully

From Andrew Sullivan:

On the totally surreal front, my aspiration is to live in a country where the president actually explains that no-one can or ever will win an imperial war in Afghanistan, that we cannot possibly leave Iraq in the next eight years without a bloodbath, that Iran cannot be prevented from getting a nuclear bomb in the foreseeable future, that an energy policy without nuclear power cannot do anything to stop global warming, and that Israel has lots of nukes, and will never, ever withdraw from the West Bank.

But that’s me, crazy old me. I prefer to start from reality and work forward. Not America. Here, fantasy is still alive and well … and running the country.

Silly Sully. Reality is for other other nations to worry about.
