Tim Goeglein, Aide To President Bush, Admits To Plagiarism

**UPDATE** Bush aide resigns over plagiarism offense, the AP reports.

The Journal Gazette of Indiana reports that President Bush's aide, Tim Goeglein, admitted to plagiarism. Blogger Nancy Nall wrote about the plagiarism on her blog first.

A Fort Wayne native and White House official acknowledged Friday he copied large portions of an essay that appeared in a Dartmouth College publication and presented them as his own in a News-Sentinel column.

"It is true," Tim Goeglein wrote to The Journal Gazette in an email. "I am entirely at fault. It was wrong of me. There are no excuses."

Tim Goeglein has been referred to by The New York Times as "Bush's eyes and ears on the right" and "Mr. Rove's legman on the right." His job is to "make sure conservatives are happy, in the loop and getting their best ideas before the president and turned into laws."

He looks like the bastard son of Mitch McConnell and Howdy Doody. Why do Republicans look like they have someone kidnapped and kept in a hole under their house while they tell them "It rubs the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again"?

He is JFK`S lovechild and joined the Repukes to spite his mother

[Meah]

Goeglein got googled!!
One down, how many to go?
I guess Bushtypes don't know about the googles.

Bright looking fellow.

[unclebucky]

Look.

Was this one of those bottom-feeding "C" students, who brag that while they didn't do well in school, they manage scads of "eggheads" whom they apparently despise?

We (ok, now another particle of demographics about UB) eggheads know how to write, and document who we quote. Seemingly, this feller never learned this.

Ugh.

--UB.

He missed the Repug class Denial 101: when caught red-handed lying DONT EVER admit you're wrong!

[armadillious2002]

With repigs - lying and cheating is not a problem - getting caught is. Getting caught is the unpardonable sin in the Bush/Rove world.

[mamacat]

How in the world can any one be so inept as to get fired from Bush's employ? I though incompetence was a job requirement!

[nyboomer]

Not fired. Resigned.
Probably can't stand the sniggering behind his back whenever he goes anywhere. Being caught is so degrading. Lying and cheating is par for the course in Bushworld. Getting caught is cause for resignatio­n/terminat­ion. Wish he had a sword he could fall on.

[darker]

Wow, that photo! the guy looks like another enraptured rabig conservative FREAK!

[bigpat]

Is it the kool-aid that makes them all look the same?

[Trittydi]

This fellow has the look of someone who routinely talks to himself. Scary.

[Vaticanologist]

There goes a lot of the great gay sex Gayglien was enjoying..­.maybe he can match up with ol' Jeff Gannon on Rentboy.
