Jean Schmidt Adds Another Bullet to Resume: Plagiarist

As noted by the blog Wonkette, freshman Rep. Jean Schmidt already has a resume that would impress her senior Hill colleagues: lied about a college degree; called decorated war veteran John Murtha a coward; faked endorsements on her website

But not content to run on that record, Schmidt has crossed into plagiarism:

Jean Schmidt added another blatant deception to her long list of publicly-exposed lies this week when she published an op-ed about Medicare Part D in the Community Press and Recorder that is almost identical to a press release issued by Congresswoman Deborah Pryce (R-Columbus) on July 10 of this year. She also published the op-ed on August 30 in the Piketon News Watchman and in the Adams County People’s Defender. [...] The plagiarism was discovered through a program that monitors high school and college student papers for acts of copying and forgery.

Schmidt’s opponent in the race is Dr. Victoria Wulsin.
