PLAGIARISM?

Hillary Clinton and Susan Estrich magically had identical July 8th columns!

Well, that's according to CREATORS SYNDICATE's new content-driven website.

Hillary Rodham Clinton's regular column "Talking It Over" on July 8th of this year ran an article on the history of the Marine Corps Band attached to the White House.

Susan Estrich's column of July 8, available at creators.com , does the same -- on the same day!

["I can still remember the words of the Marines' Hymn, which I learned as a little girl: "From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli, we fight our country's battles in the air, on land and sea ... "]

Pause.

["I can still remember the words of the Marines' Hymn, which I learned as a little girl: "From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli, we fight our country's battles in the air, on land and sea ... "]

The very same column is credited to Mrs. Clinton under her "version", available at creators.com .

As can be seen by comparing the addresses, this is not a case of one columnist linking to the others' site. Yet the wording does not change from one column to the next, not one letter of it. Both even refer to "my husband."

Is Susan Estrich suggesting her husband is really President Clinton?

[I like her real husband much better, personally.]

While Clinton takes credit for the article, Estrich does not give her that credit. To look at the article, there is no indication whatsoever that the originator was Mrs. Clinton.

Or good html help is just so hard to find...


Tell us again, Mrs. Clinton: who really wrote "It Takes a Village?"
