Fareed Zakaria has been accused of plagiarism (and it is pretty open and shut). It will not prevent him from becoming President--that was never his aspiration. But it does remind me of someone who ended his political career due to plagiarizing his dissertation:
Plagiarizing your dissertation is much, much worse than what Mr. Zakaria did.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. However, the dissertation had little to do with the Defense Minister's day job, unlike Zakaria's. Still, yes, a blog post is a minor thing compared to one's major proof of doctorate-ness.
