Did John Hinckley tell you to say that ? Say hi to him, is he one or two doors down from you ?

I know that is what you think, but it is unclear from which mode you are speaking. So is that your adult mode or your tutor mode? Is there a difference? If so, why do you continue to speak as though you are in kindergarten?

Deeply phony "I'm hardly the first to point out the risible irony in CBS News firing Web producer Melissa McNamara for passing off as her own work a commentary she ghosted for Katie Couric that borrowed extensively from a March 15 Wall Street Journal column by Jeffrey Zaslow. ... The network paid her to write original essays for Katie Couric to read in video and audio clips made available on its Web site and to CBS-owned radio stations. McNamara deceived CBS by plagiarizing the Journal. But CBS News wronged visitors to its Web site by inviting them to think that the opinions Couric expressed in these commentaries were her own. ... "The deception was a little more conspicuous in this instance, at least retrospectively, because it began with a personal memory: 'I still remember when I first got my library card.' That sentence was not lifted from the Zaslow column, but it's actually more fake than anything else in the commentary because it purports to be a personal recollection. ... "This leads us to the deeper phoniness that hobbles the assembly-line anchorperson-commentary racket CBS News has been running for decades. ... The result is commentary devoid of any substance or interest." -- Timothy Noah, writing on "The Deeper Fakery of Couric's Plagiarism," Thursday in Slate at www.slate.com
