Plagiarist Tim Goeglein hired as VP of Focus on the Family Action

In February 2008 Nancy Noll, a former writer for the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel discovered that a White House staffer had plagiarized in a column he had written for her former employer. By the time the digging was done the paper found that 20 of the 38 columns he had written had plagiarized content.

Tim Goeglein resigned the day Nancy Noll discovered the first of the 20. He had been in the White House since 2001, recruited by Karl Rove, working as deputy director of the Office of Public Liaison when his plagiarism was uncovered.

Goeglein  has been rewarded (for admitting what was found to be true) by Focus on the Family  Action Group, stepping in a newly created position: vice president of external relations. 

His hiring, Focus on the Family Action President and CEO Jim Daly said, signals how serious the nonprofit organization is about defending families through public policy. 

Oh.
Parent company Focus on the Family announced it was laying off and retiring 20% of it’s workforce the end of November.  A serial plagiarist who says he had a problem with pride and vanity is worth more than 202 jobs these days?

Tim has been forthright about his mistakes and humbly accepted the consequences of them…
 

Oh.
And the consequences were?

    Looks like, with his particular skills, he’s found the perfect job. Nobody at Focus on the Family Action has said anything original for years.

    Oh we will not want plagiarist. The Church always says new and original things… Praise the Lord

    yes and he is on a panel with a woman who is also a big phonie. colleen holmes that very boring and carbon copy of a wanna bee who is on the tail winds of phyllis schaffley. this woman has made a name for herself simply quoting what everyone else in the right wing is saying. she is THE most boring nasal self absorbed speaker my partner and i have ever heard. she lacks integrity by building her personna on the hard but argueable works of ms shaffley. have you read her quotes on tar babies? google her.

    or her multiple mundane quotes in as many publications as she can muster for herself? when we read about tim’s bull and then her name next to his on an upcoming panel and calling herself the leader of the conservative movement in country it was so laughable we choked. no wonder these two are hookin up in the new harbour whatever organization. she is a michele malkin wanna bee as well we gather. you conservatives who go to church should pray for her soul and her bull. tim too. birds of a feather. but not in the good way.

    I see where Miss or Mrs Holmes is a law graduate
    from Regent University–Pat Robertson’s empire
    of religious inculcation.

    From the sounds of it she is to the Christian right
    what Ann Coulter or Michele Malkin are to the
    political right.

    She is also an executive director for the Eagle
    Forum–America’s version of REAL Women.

    Try to imagine the audience as empty pitchers
    and what the person says in an address as
    what fills those pitchers for dispersal and
    dispensing elsewhere.
    There’s a image of Bill O’Reilly’s Kool-Aid
    in my mind and the resemblance of the two
    situations is quite alarming.

    When did people stop thinking for themselves?

    Alan Bloom was right. There has been a closing
    of the American mind. And we’re all the
    poorer for it.
