So even though a Dukakis operative is credited with exposing to the media Biden’s plagiarization, it was Bush senior’s fault?

You know, it was really Biden’s fault. Just as whatever Domenech (now gone) did way back when is his fault.

If Biden had won, Bush would have hammered on it, so what's your point? At least when the conservatives would have inevitably defended Bush by saying that "Dukakis started it" they would have been correct that time, unlike the Gore/Willy Horton lies. I just went way down the hypothetical hole there, sorry. “Your side liked (chuckle) Tank Commander Dukakis better (another liberal Democrat who was probably more responsible for exploiting Biden s plagiarism incident than anybody)”

OW,

However, this is obviously not a liberal/conservative issue. It will be an embarrassment for conservatives who took glee in the liberal screams when Domenech was hired by the WaPo. But clearly people of all political stripes resort to the intellectual crime of plagerism. Get rid of them with as much humiliation as possible and move on with the debate of ideas.

Because Sen. Biden got drummed out of the presidential race for those accusations, so there were repercussions. But I know this is the Bush era and Things Are Different (tm).
