This, like @sahilkapur's tweets, miss the ever-loving point. This isn't about whether people are getting credit for a college course.

This isn't that sort of "plagiarism" discussion. This is about speeches supposedly explaining ideas & the man who wants to lead the US.
-
For a professor like Buckley to re-use his own language from a prior writing is an odd ego exercise, first of all.
-
Second, of all this is extraordinarily lazy. Of Buckley and the campaign. Really? For a speech like this, you're going to re-use old stuff?
-
Third, I don't care when the speech was written. After last night, if nothing else, the campaign should have found & edited the part today.

@voxdotcom The article writer co-wrote the speech, he’s allowed to reuse his own words. -
he gave the words to someone who was presenting them as their own, made them both look idiotic
-
That’s what speech writers do.
-
as a writer he couldn't come up with something original? That's what I think is idiotic.

Duval Patrick gave lines he had used to Obama. If the line works and you have permission, why reinvent the wheel?

I've written dozens of speeches for clients & recycling is NOT, as Buckley claims, what speechwriters do. Ever.
