"Mean Jean" Schmidt caught plagiarizing in a newspaper. Cinci Enquirer:

Some of Schmidt column copied

WASHINGTON - If Rep. Jean Schmidt's latest column on school bus safety looked familiar, there's a good reason why.

Six sentences from her column of last Tuesday appear to be cut and pasted in identical form from a column written in October 2005 by then-Ohio State Highway Patrol Col. Paul McClellan.

Lawmakers, including Schmidt, write and distribute weekly columns that some newspapers publish on the editorial pages. The columns also are listed on lawmaker Web sites.



For example, Schmidt's column says: "When exiting the bus, care should be taken to check that clothing with drawstrings and book bags with straps do not get caught in the handrails or doors. Additionally, students should never go back for anything left on the bus, and never bend down near or under the bus to pick something up that has fallen."

If not then I hope Paul Hackett runs again.

This Schmidt woman is the gift that keeps on giving.

:eyes:

She's so repulsive on so many levels.

Sometimes you have to cut corners. One thing's for sure, Rep. Schmidt is clearly not getting by on her looks alone.
