the ironic part is that the sentence plagiarized deals with academic integrity
Seriously???!?!?!?!??
First of all, you do not cite a blog as a source for a political science paper (or any other paper, for that matter).
Second of all, you do not copy-paste the exact words from said blog into a senatorial opinion.
Third of all - disregarding the fact that you should know the above two ponits anyway and should have known them since forever - you're a year above me in college and therefore should, even moreso, fucking know better.
Fourth of all, I am not putting my honor-roll-sitting ass on the line for academic dishonesty via plagiarism (not to mention bibliographical boneheadedness) just because you didn't feel like doing your share of the work (which, might I add, was the smallest share in the group to begin with).
...I repeat: seriously???!?!?!?!??
This does not do wonders for my ability to trust my fellow students on group projects. Good thing I caught it before we turned in the paper. Fuck.
