WASHINGTON (AP) -- Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown blamed his staff Thursday for passages about his upbringing on his official Senate website that were lifted word for word from a 2002 speech by former senator and presidential candidate Elizabeth Dole.

Brown's spokesman, John Donnelly, said excerpts of the speech were on Dole's website, which aides used as a template for his, and that the passages were transferred inadvertently without being rewritten.

The Democratic group American Bridge, which discovered the matching words, accused the Massachusetts Republican of plagiarism.

"This is just further proof that Scott Brown is not who the people of Massachusetts think he is," Rodell Mollineau, president of American Bridge, said in a written statement. "The fact that he has plagiarized a personal values statement in a message to students really raises questions about just how genuine Scott Brown is."

Donnelly denied any plagiarism, saying it was an innocent mistake by staffers.

No innocent mistake..it is called stealing someone's exact written words and not giving credit.
simple plagiarism...

Don't worry...after next November, we will have professor Warren as senator. My guess is she will not need to do that since she can
write a sentence by herself..
