Orwell Estate To Sue President BushView MessagesViewing posts 1 to 3 of 3 messages posted.
“"1984" Being Used By White House Illegally In yet another blow to plans to renew the Patriot Act, lawyers for the estate of George Orwell announced their intention to sue President Bush for plagiarism. "We've felt that since its beginning, this administration has stolen much of its policy from Mr. Orwell's writings," said attorney Will Bilyalotz, "expressly '1984' and 'Animal Farm.' In some cases -- for example, the illegal surveillance of its own citizens -- this administration has lifted passages word for word from '1984.' simply changing the year does not protect the president from copyright laws." White House spokesperson Scott McClellan, while refusing to comment directly because of the "ongoing investigation," reminded reporters that the Patriot Act might have given the President the power to suspend copyright laws and, anyway, "No one can own words." "9-11 has made us look at our plagiarism in a different way," said the president. - americanpolitics.com” 11:29:53 AM 12/28/05 “Hahahahahahahahaha!!!” 11:50:13 AM 12/28/05 “awsome, as usual.” 2:24:11 PM 12/29/05
