This Is What God's Ice Cream Must Taste Like

Because nothing can be sweeter than reading this article about the C-Word:
'NY Post' Cites Evidence That Ann Coulter Plagiarized Parts of Book, Columns

Or this one:
Copycatty Coulter Pilfers Prose: Pro

Or this:
'Textbook Plagiarism," "Very Misleading" Citations Found in Coulter's Godless


But for anyone wishing to stick by "The Ugly Stick," here are some neoconservative-approved debate points you can use in your defense of Coulter's plagiarism:

* "Well, then clearly it's someone else's fault that she misuses every word over two syllables long."

* "This is just another liberal media ploy to distract our attention from the real issue--thanking U.S. soldiers."

* "Oh, sure. When Coulter copies things said in a book it's called 'plagiarism.' But when The New York Times copies things said by a source it's called 'reporting.'"

* "Ann triumphs over both a gruesome disfigurement by fire and a horribly botched sex operation and you still make fun of her? That's just sick."

* "It's time to ask ourselves a crucial question--are we going to go after fellow Americans or are we going to go after Osama...eventually."

* "I think Ann would be the first to agree that this proof why women should not be taught to read."

* "What's next? Accuse Bartlett's of plagiarism?"

* "You get upset when she steals other people's work. You get upset when she gets things wrong. What options are you leaving a person like Ann?"

* "I seem to recall another American patriot who spoke someone else's words--Jesus. Just look it up in Coulter's Slander."

* "So maybe she borrowed a few statements from other sources. But her belief that Canada sent troops to the Vietnam War is hers and hers alone."

You know who the real pros are? Those brilliant alliterating bastards at the New York Post, that's who.

Here's a play at home game:

Keep track of which of Yellojkt's Top Ten Excuses Used By Plagiarists™ Anne uses.

My money is on "2. It was an editing error. The attribution got lost in revision." and "3. I referenced the source once and that should be enough."
