Bush Speechwriter Resigns Amid Allegations of Plagiarism
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -
Gov. Jeb Bush's speechwriter resigned Tuesday, citing news reports
detailing allegations of plagiarism and sexual harassment while he
worked at a newspaper.
Lloyd Brown, 65, was hired by Bush on Dec. 20, about a month after he
retired as the editorial page editor of The Florida Times-Union in
Jacksonville.
While at the newspaper, a review found instances of plagiarism in
editorials he had written.
The review was sparked after a former Times-Union editorial writer,
Billee Bussard, wrote a lengthy article in Folio Weekly, a
Jacksonville weekly newspaper.
In the article, titled "Porn, Hypocrisy, Plagiarism: The Dark Side of
Jacksonville's Daily," Bussard wrote that Brown viewed Internet
pornography in the paper's office, and she said he conducted sexual
conversations on the telephone while viewing the pornography in the
workplace.
