It's getting deeper. Also reported by Kossack Lefty Coaster, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has officially lost his Washington Times column after it was discovered he had included plagiarized material. I mean given there is this thing called the internet, how long did this man think he could get away with it? And just how far does this go back? According to Andrew Kaczynski/Buzzfeed, the conservative Washington DC newspaper had this to say: “We expect our columnists to submit original work and to properly attribute material, and we appreciate that the senator and his staff have taken responsibility for an oversight in one column,” Washington Times’ editor John Solomon told the paper Tuesday. “We also appreciate the original insights he has shared with our readers over the last few months and look forward to future contributions from Sen. Paul and any other members of Congress who take the time to help educate our readers with original thought leadership pieces,” Solomon said. Here is a Rand Paul plagiarism list of link/stories by Andrew Kaczynski's starting with most recent. One can almost feel sorry for Paul - if one is a fan of a Tea Party, pseudo-Libertarian, anti-choice, GOP-lying obstructionist. He gets no pity from the rest of us. 2.
