I don't think Cindy McCain is the worst person in the world. In fact some people swear she is actually a robot. That's neither here nor there. Isn't there a lot of plagiarism around now? You know that a social norm isn't very strong when a lot of people break it with no fear at all of getting caught, when it's very easy to catch. Part of it I guess is the internet, with all kinds of content out there in the dark corners written by people nobody knows. Another part is much older, that is having your stuff written by careless research assistants. Doris Kearns Goodwin did it and was caught plagiarizing.

McCain's Stepford wife is a plagiarist - shocking! I don't know which thought is more revolting, the staffers' thought that Cindy McCain's "favorite recipes" on John McCain's web site would help his campaign, or the thought that the staffer might actually be right – that is, until they plagiarized the recipes!

Who cares is she's talking about recipes... you think this millionaire-heiress cyborg trophy wife cooks her own meals?

Eh.... that seemed like an especially weak Worst Persons.... I didn't find myself really caring about any of them.

Surely Orally did 10 things worse than...unfairly criticize GE?...before breakfast yesterday...

I never thought I'd utter (or type) these words, but:

Bill O'Reilly is right. General Electric profits from war. GE is also instrumental in calling the 2000 presidential election for Bush. The irony of course is that O'Reilly's position on GE places him shoulder-to-shoulder with dirty fucking hippies who have been calling for a GE boycott for decades.

I come down beside BigDaddy here: GE wears no halo, and once again Keith -- as he did in his assault on Ferraro -- has oversimplified a complex issue (he is in the media biz, after all).

Does that mean I agree with Bill-O? Well, unless his remarks are to be construed as an unprecedented turning of the leaf (Bill-O as an anti-corporate pundit comes off just as plausible as Pope Benedict as an enemy of pedophiles), then no, I do not side with Bill-O.

Third vote for: GE is a tool of the military-industrial complex and should be boycotted.

That said, I do not believe Mr. Olberman is under undue pressure from his owners, whereas ORLY's owners are sociopathic micromanagers.

Is it plagiarism to claim a recipe as one of your favorites? This seems like a bit of a stretch. If she was trying to sell it or take credit it for it, then that would be one thing. But I think she was just sharing recipes that she likes. Rachel Ray probably lifted it from someone else to begin with anyway. She's not actually a chef, you know? Just a TV personality. Very weak WPE if you ask me.

Boycotting GE means not watching MSNBC Zap. I think that's what O'Reilley wants more than anything.
