Of course: Hillary's "spiritual advisor" is a plagiarist

Hillary Clinton is the gift that just keeps on giving - that no one wants.  She's the answer to a question no one is asking.  The more you know about her, the more you dislike her.

Her book of lamentations will coming out soon, and early excerpts indicate she will blame everyone but herself for her colossal failure at the polls.  She’s particularly peeved at Bernie Sanders for actually contesting her coronation, blaming him for Trump’s “Crooked Hillary” nickname sticking to her like glue.

Actually, the name stuck because she is crooked.  She’s always been crooked.  Turns out, so is her pastor.

The “Rev.” Bill Shillady has admitted that a book of devotions due to be published by a Methodist-affiliated printing house has a lot of material that he didn’t actually write.  The book is being withdrawn and printed copies are being destroyed.

Check out his Clintonian apology:

"I deeply regret my actions," Shillady said Tuesday, according to CNN. "I was wrong and there is no excuse for it. I apologize to those whose work I mistakenly did not attribute. I apologize to those I have disappointed, including Secretary Hillary Clinton, Abingdon Press, and all the writers and others who have helped me publish and promote this book. I ask for everyone's forgiveness." [Emphasis added.]

I’ve noticed that the longer an apology runs, the less sincere it is.  This is a great example.

Note the use of the word “mistakenly” in there.  Why include it?  It makes it sound like this was a mere oversight, an accident.

But it wasn’t an accident, it was a deliberate act.  All he had to do was say:  “Rev. so-and-so had the most wonderful prayer and I’d like to use it here.” 

It should be second nature for a guy who quotes scripture for a living to give proper attribution for a good prayer, but I guess not.

In the greater scheme of things, it’s a pretty minor affair, but it just goes to show who these people are – and how lucky we are that she lost.

The Democrats amuse me because not only are the crooks, they are transparently stupid ones.

Stealing someone else's work and then using it for a nationally-promoted book launch pretty much defines idiocy.

And this genius was Hillary's spiritual advisor. It explains a lot, doesn't it?

It always amazes me that people are so idiotic they think they can get away with making wild, unsubstantiated statements, or blatantly plagiarizing others' work, in this era of Google and Youtube. Yet we frequently hear candidates and politicians state baldfaced lies or make promises they don't have a clue of fulfilling, apparently failing to realize that those Youtube videos will be around forever to mock them. Think Barack Obama and his self-righteous rant about how G.W. Bush was "unpatriotic" to be adding to our national debt (it went from $5 trillion to $9 trillion under Shrub). Then Obama starts out with a couple years of trillion dollar ANNUAL deficits and ends up doubling the national debt from $10 to $20 trillion. And as far as plagiarism, it was easy to discover even in the pre-Internet days. Just ask Joe Biden!
