Sorry, no felonious backrubs here. Or allegations of pedophilia. Instead, Rep. Steve Pearce's (R - NM) scandal is mostly just amusing. Seems his press secretary, Jim Burns, recycled, "almost word-for-word," someone else's column on energy policy and published it in a local newspaper under Pearce's name. Which, obviously, is a gross violation of fake column-writing ethics. It's okay to sign your name to columns someone else has written. It's not okay to sign your name to columns someone else has plagiarized.— GREG BEATO
