Yesterday evening, I had the misfortune of turning on the TV to MSNBC, who was spending far too much time covering the Rectumite Rampage in Cleveland.  Fortunately, I made it to the trash can in time.  I heard several speakers. Here is the complete list of everything useful and\/or honest that they said:<\/font><\/p>\n

One of the low points of the evening was the speech by Melania Trump, who made it clear that intellect was not the reason Rump Dump bought her.<\/font><\/p>\n

The centerpiece of the opening night of the Republican Convention was the speech by Melania Trump, the wife of Donald Trump. But her pleasant performance was soon overshadowed by allegations of plagiarism. <\/p>\n

Candidate Trump, the ultimate showman, made an unprecedented and dramatic appearance on the first night of the convention to introduce his wife. Mrs. Trump praised her husband, speaking in a Slovenian accent, to an enthusiastic reception from the delegates. But shortly after the convention wrapped up she became the center of a swirling controversy. Two of the passages she read were strikingly similar to the speech Michelle Obama made to the Democratic National Convention in 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life,\u201d a poised Mrs. Trump said, \u201cthat your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise, that you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life.\u201d In her 2008 speech Mrs. Obama said, \u201cAnd Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: like, you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond, that you do what you say you\u2019re going to do, that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don\u2019t know them and even if you don\u2019t agree with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Trump then added, \u201cWe need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow… Because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.\u201d Back in 2008, Mrs. Obama added, \u201cBarack and I set out to build lives guided by these values and to pass them onto the next generation, because we want our children \u2014 and all children in this nation \u2014 to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day Mrs. Trump told NBC News that she had written the speech<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
