There have been a lot of accusations about plagiarism recently. But what's the truth? Maybe we can't handle the truth.

The fact is, all the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts. But who's part is Barack Obama playing?

He claims that neither a borrower nor a lender be, but as the war of words continues, now is the winter of our discontent. And as we've heard recently, hell hath no fury like a Hillary scorned. But how innocent is she? The lady doth protest too much, methinks. I'm sure if the voters dig deep enough, they'll be wishing a plague o' both their houses. Perhaps they both subscribe to what's yours is mine and what's mine is yours?

When Hillary delivers a great quote, Obama might think, "I'll have what she's having." But he should think, "My name's Obama, Barack Obama, and I'm king of the world; I can write my own stuff - nobody puts Barack in the corner." At the end of the day, it's not about who's on first, it's about who said it first. My Mama always said, "Speeches should be like a box of chocolates; you should never know what you're gonna get."

Some people argue that 'tis better to have plagiarized and lost than to never have plagiarized at all. But with the right speech in the right place at the right time, they could of had class; they could of been a contender. For example, when writing a speech to attract voters, the candidates must know that if they build it, they will come.

Personally, when I hear a lifeless speech, I don't just see dead imaginations, I see dead people. I want to shout at them, "Originality! Originality! My kingdom for originality!" It's such a shame when a candidate steps up to the podium and I think, "Go ahead, make my day," but I end up thinking, "Are you talking to me?"

When will candidates realize that with great power comes great responsibility? I wait for them to show me the money but instead they just leave me, and the rest of the audience, feeling shaken, not stirred.

Some of you might think plagiarism is acceptable, but frankly, my dears, I don't give a damn. I have a dream that we shall fight the plagiarists on the beaches to make sure that they'll never play it again, Sam. (And you can quote me on that.)

Hasta la vista, baby.
