The news is
that John Walsh, the junior senator from Montana, plagiarized his way to a degree
His campaign
to keep Baucus’s former seat may now be totally at sea
There are
many of us who have under the pressure to make the grade
Have crossed
the line and from one’s own original thought strayed
But Walsh
comes from one of the few institutions the people still have some shreds of
trust
The
military, including the Montana National Guard, to our national safety we
entrust
Worse, the
former Brigadier General of the Montana National Guard when caught
Put forth a
lame PTSD excuse not true and more importantly did not to his error man up
A good
chance the plagiarism will cost him his Master’s degree and his rank
More broadly
it may toss the Blues chance to retain the Senate into the tank
The press in
Montana is demanding he resign so a replacement can compete
The people in
Montana for a Senator deserve better than a liar and a cheat
Sadly from
our politicians deceiving is too often the norm
Developed
over the years in office to keep seats to a true art form
But the
military not the CinC are by officers and gentlemen supposed to be led
A code of
honor that is priceless and should not with consequences be shed
Obama
concerned about the loss of the Senate has asked the Pentagon to “investigate”
Pentagon is
not the DOJ so we may be spared of another Lerner Gate
Walsh has
but a week to resign or on the ballot remain
Hope the plagiarist
stays so Blue majority has greater chance of going down the drain.
