Maureen Dowd... New Title... Plagarist...

She lifted a whole paragraph from a liberal blogger about the Bush Administration hiding intelligence on a whole slew of stuff as a pretext to war. Now only did she copy the whole thing word for word and not give credit where it was due, but she used the typical leftist screed about pre-war intel and how we were lied too as well. So she's a double dipper. She uses someone else lies to insert as her own. Nice. What's worse now is that I imagine all of her work now will undergo an audit and special scrutiny.

*as a disclaimer I used source material once to make a point on an environmental issue. I have a ton, and I mean just reams and reams of typewritten texts on all kinds of subjects without a source from whence they came, but it had no source until someone else pointed it out to me the source it came from. Mayhem ensued. However, in Ms. Dowds case she knew where it came from and who wrote it and still didn't credit it.
