Oops! Cut-and-Paste Website Construction Doesn't Pass Inspection

Perhaps this is what you're looking for?

Link to May 21 channel3000.com article, "Candidate's Website Included Text Copied From Others".  (via Playground Politics, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".)

Excerpt: "We had some staffers on our Web team that obviously were inspired by some of the other Republican campaigns, pulled text and we didn't catch it in editing, and we are working to correct the mistake," Summers said.

When asked whether Summers would call what happened plagiarism, he replied, "I would call it inspired.
"

Inspired?

The Recess Supervisor at Playground Politics has another word for it:  Lazy.
