'Hacky and stupid': Politico's Blake Hounshell distracts after Dem senator accused of plagiarism

…post an extremely hacky and stupid "YOU DID IT TOO!!!" tweet that would be considered juvenile even at Democratic Underground.

The New York Times has alleged that Montana Democrat Sen. John Walsh plagiarized “at least” one-quarter of a 2007 thesis he turned in to earn a master’s degree from the United States Army War College. Serious allegations, right?

For Blake Hounshell of Politico, the first order of business was to provide spin and maybe a talking point for his MSM colleagues and Walsh’s fellow Dems:

Remember that time plagiarism accusations ruined Rand Paul's career?

It must just be sheer instinct.

@blakehounshell around the same time they ruined Joe BIden's I think.
