Washington Times ends Sen. Rand Paul column amid plagiarism allegationsBy Jim McElhatton at the Washington Times

"SNIP............................
.S. Sen. Rand Paul acknowledged Tuesday he had failed to properly source material in published writings, including a column in The Washington Times, after a string of embarrassing plagiarism accusations surfaced in recent days.
Mr. Paul took personal responsibility for the oversights, which he and aides said were caused by staff providing him background materials that were not properly footnoted. But the Kentucky Republican, a possible 2016 White House candidate, also said he was being held by the news media to a higher standard than other politicians.
The standard Im being held to is a little different than everybody else, Mr. Paul said on CNNs The Situation Room. Theyre now going back and reading every book from cover-to-cover and looking for places where we footnoted correctly and dont have quotation marks in the right places or we didnt indent correctly.
The Washington Times said Tuesday it had independently reviewed Mr. Pauls columns and op-eds and published a correction to one column on Sept. 20 in which the senator had failed to attribute a passage that first appeared in Forbes.

Infamous pic below of Republicon idol Rev. Moon (R) with his intimate crony Neil "Stinkpants Silverado" Bush (R - BFEE). You know Randy Paul (R) would love to have a pic of himself with the Moonster (R), now conveniently deceased, but undoubtedly planning a THIRD COMING so his Republicon devotees can worship him further.
