The Peruvian presidential field (great overview here) includes a plagiarist/copyist. That is, César Acuña not only plagiarized the bulk of his PhD thesis; he also removed the author’s name from a book on educational theory and replaced it with his own.

I am surprised that the Vice-Plagiarizer of the US, Joe Biden, has not seen an opening here.

tp: No question that he plagiarized part of a speech. Not sure the cases are quite the same, however…

Part of speech? No it goes back further than that.
Young Joe also plagiarized a law review article for a paper he wrote in his first year at Syracuse law school. Claimed it was a mistake in his “youth”.
Perhaps his explanation in the NY Times story will sound familiar: “My intent was not to deceive anyone”, Mr. Biden wrote. “For if it were, I would not have been so blatant.”
