ORIGINAL: MzMia I heard on the news that many speeches use a lot of material that is "borrowed" or rewritten. I'm having trouble believing Hillary's camp thought that accusation was a good idea. I read over on HuffPost that Hillary has been running lines from Jimmy Carter speeches back in '76. That is a lot closer to plagiarism than something that comes out of friendship and collaboration. Speechwriting is an ongoing process. TV cameras in the cable/satellite era have changed the game. There is still a standard stump speech, but it must be constantly changing and reactive. At this level, there are writers (and at least some of the better ones have gone back to work), meetings, conference calls and late night brainstorming. As for Hillary speaking Spanish, if the English language stations went away, she'd promise a bridge over the border fence.
