It's okay with the current Vice President as well.
Linky to the Rand Paul issue?
Plagiarism is the sincerest form of theft.
You should hear Rand Paul's "I have a dream" speech.

He was caught in a couple of his speaches lifting word for word from a Wikipedia entry.

Paul has previously sustained fire from critics for copying portions of his book from conservative think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute, and he has also faced accusations that he plagiarized several Wikipedia articles as well as an Associated Press article in recent speeches.
In this most recent episode, Paul copied nearly word-for-word an article by Timothy Sandefur of the Pacific Legal Foundation that was published in January 2012 in "Regulation," a quarterly journal from the Cato Institute. He also included a near-verbatim copy of a section from the same journal written in 2010 by law professor Jonathan Adler.

It's funny though, it's not necessarily the plagiarism that's getting him in hot water. It's asinine comments like this:
"And like I say, if, you know, if dueling were legal in Kentucky, if they keep it up, you know, it would be a duel challenge. But I can't do that, because I can't hold office in Kentucky then."
That's nearly as funny as Aqua Buddha. His Deity, evidently.

There are some synaptic mis-fires occuring there. It's like he had a verbal seizure.

Not mis-fires - it's the way he is naturally wired. He is an idiot.
