Interesting about the criticism on the writer or co-writer of Palin's speech last night. Tell me if my memory is wrong, but isn't this VP candidate, Joe Biden, the same fellow who ran for the presidential nomination quite a number of years ago. I remember he gave a speech about how he was the first in his family to get a degree and something about a phrase " from the barios ------" Actually quite a good speech and interesting, too. Then it was discovered that that same speech had been given before by an Englishman who was in politics. Biden just copied the fellow's words and used them as "his own". After that , Biden's presidential nomination bid stumbled. Maybe my memory is wrong, but I don't think so.
