USA Today recently published a sickeningly fawning, slobbering puff piece about plagiarist Doris Kearns-Goodwin’s latest book — this time a deification of the statist monster Teddy Roosevelt. The crack reporters at USA Today somehow failed to mentioned that Goodwin was outed as a serial plagiarist, then the Boston Globe and other left-wing propaganda puppets for the state lied about it but did not get away with the lies thanks to author Lynne McTaggert, the victim of Goodwin’s dishonesty.
When you’re a court historian (authoring fairy tale books about Lyndon Johnson, the Kennedys, Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt), you apparently think you can get away with anything and everything, and get rich doing it.
For the truth about Teddy Roosevelt read Andrew Napolitano’s book, Theodore and Woodrow. You know “TR” was rotten when he is a favorite president of both William Kristol (and all other neocons) and Goodwin. (When USA Today asked Goodwin what questions she might ask TR if he were alive today, rather than asking about such things as why he had to supervise the murder of some 200,000 Filipinos during the Philippine insurrection, Goodwin said she would ask him questions like, “Is it really true that you drank 40 cups of coffee a day?” “Valley Girl Historian” would be an appropriate label for this dishonest woman).
