Sarah Palin's lawyer, Thomas Van Flein, should probably ignore this one.
Plagiarism charge and story here.
Van Flein's response here:
"It is abundantly clear in context, and even in subcontext, that the overview of President Reagan's legacy was attributed to Newt Gingrich.
Far from 'lifting' or plagiary, this is proper attribution in a political speech. The audience was made aware that Mr. Gingrich wrote about President Reagan's legacy, and Gov. Palin attributed her paraphrasing to Mr. Gingrich expressly and did so at the beginning and at the end of the paraphrasing."
