So Rand Paul, the Kentucky senator and presidential hopeful, has been found to have plagiarized repeatedly in his op-eds and a newspaper column with his byline that, thankfully, no paper I read actually prints.

Paul issued a statement today intended to address the issue:

“Adherence to a new approval process implemented by Sen. Paul will ensure proper citation and accountability in all collaborative works going forward,” the statement said.

Adherence to a new approval process implemented by Senator Paul?

I have a better suggestion for how Rand Paul could avoid plagiarism: Any piece of writing that has his name on it…he should probably actually write. Ghostwriters will never care as much as you do.
