Hasselbeck accused of plagiarizing book

The rightists don't seem to have many original thoughts in their minds anymore, after they've gotten most of their idiotic class warfare out of their systems.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck of ABC's 'The View' is known for her right-wing diatribes and her appearances at Republican rallies. No surprise there, as ABC lately has become almost as singularly dedicated to right-wing advocacy as Fox News is.

Now Hasselbeck is accused of plagiarizing a book about celiac disease. A federal lawsuit claims that she lifted content verbatim from the tome and used it for her own book.

Plagiarism is bad enough. But using it to sell a book is worse.

As if that wasn't enough, the book Hasselbeck allegedly plagiarized had been sent to her as a gift by the author! Plagiarizing a book that the author gifted to you isn't exactly what I call gratitude.
