Bolton Accuser a Serial Plagiarizer

Little Green Footballs

Yesterday we noted a post at Daily Kos from John Bolton accuser Melody Townsel, in which she admitted committing plagiarism while working at the Abilene Christian University student newspaper, the Optimist.

The ACU Optimist has a report on this today, with the revelation that Townsel was also involved in another plagiarism incident at the University of Texas at Arlington: Former student acknowledges past plagiarism.

Townsel left ACU soon after being removed from the Optimist to continue her undergraduate degree at the University of Texas at Arlington, where she worked for the student newspaper, the Shorthorn. Marler said he received a call from UT-Arlington several months after Townsel left ACU regarding another situation of plagiarism with Townsel.

John Dycus, former adviser of the Shorthorn, recalled the event.

“I remember Melody as being very bright,” said Dycus, adviser of the UT-Arlington Shorthorn when Townsel worked for the paper. “I remember thinking she didn’t have to do this. She was bright enough; her mechanics were good enough; her research skills were good enough. This wasn’t necessary.”

In her tell-all confession at Daily Kos, Townsel did not mention this incident.
