Monica Crowley, a former Richard Nixon biographer, syndicated radio host, and Fox News contributor, rejected a position as director of communications with President Donald Trump’s National Security Council in January 2017 after she had been accused of multiple cases of plagiarism.

CNN reported that she had plagiarized dozens of passages for her 2012 book, What the (Bleep) Just Happened.

What the (Bleep) Just Happened was the real name of her book.

CNN followed up with a story a few days later that Crowley also plagiarized thousands of words in her Ph.D. dissertation.

In 1999, the New York Times published a column charging that Crowley had written a piece about Richard Nixon that read remarkably similar – okay, pretty much the same – as a column written a decade earlier by a Wall Street Journal columnist, Paul Johnson.

When asked to comment on the similarities, Crowley said, ”I did not, nor would I ever, use material from a source without citing it.”

These appear to be Crowley’s own words.

Crowley later went on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program and denied she had committed plagiarism – even though real news outlets had printed side-by-side comparisons of what Crowley wrote and what others wrote.

There was no doubt she was a plagiarist.

She said the charges of plagiarism against her had been “debunked.”

These are her words. Nobody else would have said such a thing.

She defended herself by saying she had been the victim of a “political hit job.”

CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski called Crowley’s response “complete B.S.” in a tweet.  “Monica Crowley falsely claims our reporting on her (extensive) plagiarism was debunked. nonsense,” he said.

It might be appropriate for any prospective editor to use the following quote – attributed (perhaps falsely) to Samuel Johnson — if they receive a query from Ms. Crowley:

“Your manuscript is both good and original; but the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good.”
