This Little "Indian" Is In Trouble

Elizabeth Warren: I told Harvard about my heritage - MJ Lee - POLITICO.com

Now this is really suspicious.  As reported in   The Boston Globe

The Democratic Massachusetts Senate candidate told the Boston Globe, “At some point after I was hired by them, I … provided that information to the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard.”

This is a very "lawyer-like" statement. Notice how she slips in the "some point after..." into the statement. This is done in an attempt to insulate her from being accused of abusing the minority claim she made on many occasions to gain advantage in hiring and to benefit from affirmative action hiring advantages. Records must exist at Harvard and Penn. They will bubble to the surface.

It appears that this little Indian has a problem with "misstatements".

Shooting Decoys Is Tougher Than This

Did Elizabeth Warren Plagiarize Her 'Pow Wow Chow' Recipes?

Wow, not Pow Wow, or Pow Wow Chow, just wow.

I wrote recently at this link about how easy Elizabeth Warren was making it for her critics and opponents. Kind of like shooting ducks on a pond. But this is getting too close.

The problem with shooting ducks at such close range is that often times the targeted fowl are blown to smithereens. We don't want that to happen. This is too much fun. Shoot the decoys instead. 

Could this highly educated and experienced woman be as shallow as this whole "I am a Native American" fiasco has exposed her to be? If so, she has nobody to blame but herself. From enhancing her resume to this possible plagiarizing incident, each wound has been self-inflicted.

Rest assured if she were a Republican candidate, there would be a huge throng of the liberal press gathering to gnaw the gristle off of her freshly picked bones. They would be asking questions like, "Did she commit a felony by misrepresenting her heritage to gain employment advantage?" and "Can she be trusted, after all it appears that she plagiarized submissions to a book?". Just a couple off the top of my head.

There seems to be no graceful escape for her from this mess. It would be smart for the Democrats to talk her into dropping out of this race to allow a less disgraced candidate to compete in the fall against Senator Scott Brown.

 Anyone need a great decoy recipe?

Princess Pants on Fire Still Digging

Warren: 'I'm proud of my Native American heritage' [VIDEO] | The Daily Caller

 Elizabeth Warren may or may not be an American Indian but she is one hell of a hole digger.

Someone on her team should slowly and carefully remove the shovel from her possibly Native American hands and gently lift her out of the hole. The hole is getting deeper and Elizabeth Warren is not in any mood to back fill.

 “You know, I’m proud of my Native American heritage,” Warren said. “I’m proud of my family. It’s now the case that people have gone over my college records, my law school records, every job I’ve ever had to see that I got my work. I got my jobs because I do my work. I work hard. I’ve been a good teacher.”
Did you notice there was no mention of people going over her genealogical records? Maybe it was an oversight. The cookbook reference was solid.
 
Can you imagine the outrage had a Republican candidate made a claim of Native American status possibly used for career advancement through major law schools, and yet the claim remains unverified by any reputable genealogist? Very little chirping. Silence of the crickets.

And, about people going over college records, law school record and such.  That sounds reasonable.  I can only think of one exception to this very good idea.
