From the pages of the Washington Post today you can see that the Obama ‘speech plagiarism’ meme has descended from the offensively silly to the militantly moronic. Here’s the latest one dug up or perhaps passed along as the case may be by Dana Milbank …
Still, Obama seemed to borrow anew on Tuesday at an outdoor rally in San Antonio — this time from former foe John Edwards. Criticizing pharmaceutical companies’ ads, Obama joked: “You know those ads where people are running around the fields, you know, they’re smiling, you don’t know what the drug is for?”
Compare that with this staple of Edwards’s 2004 stump speech: “I love the ads. Buy their medicine, take it, and the next day you and your spouse will be skipping through the fields.”
