As the news of Melania Trump's plagiarized speech came in on Monday night (parts of it sounded exactly like Michelle Obama's communiqué delivered at the 2008 Democratic National Convention), I was counting the days until the Eastern Bloc connection would somehow be made. Or, should I say, until the ready-made Eastern Bloc stereotypical rhetoric would tease out through the North American gaze. I was waiting for something "official," -- a newspaper article, an editorial or magazine commentary, and not just the random Facebook memes and posts that called Melania anywhere from a "Slovenian immigrant with a thick accent," to a "dumb bitch with big boobs" and "only good for blow jobs."
