I've been trying to understand this.
Googling...I read that he does take this up in his book: A Promise to Keep, but then I haven't been able to read more...like what he says.
I do understand it is a substantive part of what stopped his, I think, 88 campaign.
Without a lot of noise from what we think about it...since it's been documented...I really would like to know more about what he says of it himself. Can anyone help me on this?
(edited to add)...just to update myself...I do see this, which seems substantive. Included...even after he had previously indicated by way of explaining himself for his earlier law school indiscretions that he just didn't know the rules of attribution...he here says:
"As for the issue of borrowing speeches, Mr. Biden was insistent that he had done nothing wrong. He said it was ''ludicrous'' to expect a politician to attribute all the quotations of others, and he cited two examples to support his argument."
I must add...since this world does require a clear head in the world of foreign relations...and despite his poor college grades, he may well have this, to our benefit...I continue to be bothered by this...and can understand why detractors could with cause describe this the ticket of style over substance.
Regards,
