#1 It would be 'low level' plagiarism if he simply used someone else's words while talking live about something. We all get our information from somebody else; very few people are actual eyewitnesses to the events people talk about.
When you publish, in writing, somebody exact words and phrases, without even mentioning that it comes from 'whoever', it isn't low-level;
It's outright theft.
I predict nothing will come of this; he's a darling of the leftist media, and 'whoever' is simply guilty of stealing Zakaria's ideas before he had them.

#5 Of course Joe Biden has been known to borrow a few phrases as well. Maybe it's because he is thick. Seems to be the kind of person Obama likes to have around.
