Expert Finds That Coulter Plagiarized

N.Y. Post:

Conservative scribe Ann Coulter cribbed liberally in her latest book, “Godless,” according to a plagiarism expert.

John Barrie, the creator of a leading plagiarism-recognition system, claimed he found at least three instances of what he calls “textbook plagiarism” in the leggy blond pundit’s “Godless: the Church of Liberalism” after he ran the book’s text through the company’s digital iThenticate program.

He also says he discovered verbatim lifts in Coulter’s weekly column, which is syndicated to more than 100 newspapers, including the Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Sun-Sentinel and Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.

In that NY Post picture, she looks like a female impersonator. Since I’ve never actually seen her, is that what she really looks like? I only know her politics make my blood pressure rise.

This doesn’t surprise me too much. I can’t imagine that Ann Coulter has very many working neurons left in her brain - certainly not enough to actually write a column or book on her own.

Will she lose her contract, like that young woman at one of the Ivy Leagues whose novels had chunks of content lifted from other books?

But it seems like being “a leggy blonde” will help Coulter be forgiven for just about anything.
