Plagiarist and Left Wing Dullard Doris Kearns Goodwin at Gettysburg

The homely face of mediocrity being trite.
Is mediocrity the key to access and success in the media and government. Doris Kearns Goodwin the epitome of dullness? Yet she is the darling of government funded Special Historical Events and keeps showing up on NBC to give her piffle opinions that no one cares about or remembers. But she DOES gives it from the proper, lefty, perspective.

Before even referencing President Abraham Lincoln, Kearns Goodwin started her speech by mentioning President Lyndon Johnson. In fact, more of her speech was devoted to Johnson and herself than to Lincoln, Grant, Lee, and Gettysburg. ...
