Rand Paul: Serial Plagiarist

While two other instances of Rand Paul plagiarism have already been identified, Buzzfeed has identified a third.

Paul reportedly copied a significant chunk of a Heritage Foundation case study for his book Government Bullies.

“The copied section, 1,318 words, is by far the most significant instance reported so far of Paul borrowing language from other published material. The new cut-and-paste job follows reports by BuzzFeed, Politico, and MSNBC that Paul had plagiarized speeches either from Wikipedia or news reports.”

In his defense, Republicans typically say exactly what the Heritage Foundation wants them to say anyway. This conveniently eliminates the middle-man.
