White House aide caught plagiarizing.
Yesterday in a column for The News-Sentinel, Timothy S. Goeglein — a special assistant to President Bush — referenced Eugene Rosenstock-Hussey, a former professor at Dartmouth College. Curious about the obscure reference, blogger Nancy Nall googled the name, only to find that full sections of Goeglein’s 16-paragraph essay were copied nearly word-for-word from a 10-year old Dartmouth Review essay by Jeffrey Hart. Confronted about the plagiarism, Goeglein told The Journal Gazette that “it is true” he copied Hart and that he is “entirely at fault.”

February 29th, 2008 at 1:36 pmConfronted about the plagiarism, Goeglein told The Journal Gazette that “it is true†he copied Hart and that he is “entirely at fault.â€
Has he learned nothing in his time at the white house? The answer is… ‘I don’t want to comment on that while there is an ongoing investigation.”
Oh, Goeglein- and you were this close to that Medal o’ Freedom…
February 29th, 2008 at 1:36 pmThe masters of low expectations.
February 29th, 2008 at 1:37 pmThey’ve run out of BS, now they have to steal it.
February 29th, 2008 at 1:37 pmThe only thing interesting or surprising about this story is the fact that the guy said, straight up “I did it.” I thought Bush taught him better. Aren’t they supposed to either deny everything or say “I don’t remember” ?
February 29th, 2008 at 1:39 pmThis is a cry for help. The poor guy just wants out of the living hell that is this adminstration. He figures if he admits he did a booboo he’ll get fired.
February 29th, 2008 at 1:43 pm“Confronted about the plagiarism, Goeglein told The Journal Gazette that “it is true†he copied Hart and that he is “entirely at fault.†”
Oh, my God! Pres. Bush is going to have to fire this guy for taking personal responsibility for his own actions!
That’s totally AGAINST what the Repubic party stands for today!
February 29th, 2008 at 1:43 pmHow long has this person worked in the White House? This is the first time?
February 29th, 2008 at 1:44 pmbelac; by the standards of the Bush administration, Goeglein will still get that Medal of Freedom, in spite of, or BECAUSE of the plagarizing.
February 29th, 2008 at 1:45 pmDamn good angle Bobwurst. Watch the avalanche of plagiarism from staffers in the WhiteHouse.
February 29th, 2008 at 1:45 pmGoeglein has worked in the Bush White House since 2001 as the Bush administration’s liaison to religious organizations.
His full job title is the
February 29th, 2008 at 1:48 pmMinister of Misinformation to the Ministers of Misinformation
But Uncle Ho-
February 29th, 2008 at 1:53 pmIt’s true they reward failure and stealing- but to admit something to the American people? That may be the one unpardonable sin in this administration…
If it was a high level person, someone else would have to take the blame. But this guy is chump change, so let him take the fall.
February 29th, 2008 at 1:57 pmTime to bust out the medals…
February 29th, 2008 at 1:58 pmHow many hundreds of incompetent people has Bush and his admin hired?

February 29th, 2008 at 3:27 pmunreal… will it ever stop?
February 29th, 2008 at 4:09 pmNobody told this guy that he could blame this act of plagerizing on hooch, bad Priests, the dewey decimal system or cloth diapers. looks like he didn’t read the RePUG handbook.
He needs to go away. he can’t be trusted.
February 29th, 2008 at 5:11 pmAll Bushies believe they make their own reality until they get caught.
February 29th, 2008 at 5:24 pmFroomkin reports three other instances of plagiarism now attributed to this little Republican creep. This is the Bush administration in a nutshell: serial cheaters and liars.
