7/5     Coulter plaigiarizes, nobody cares
        http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/001051.php
        \_ http://www.nypost.com/photos/news07022006004a.jpg
           Oh holy crap.  I take it back when I said she was
           "passably attractive"  Eww.  (Sorry, I'm a face man)
           \_ Which has what to do with anything?
        \_ I read the things she 'plaigiarized'.  No one cares because that
           doesn't fit the definition.  But don't let facts get in your way.
        \_ Coulter [anything], nobody cares.  -John
           \_ Her book sales dispute that.
              \_ OK I'll rephrase, nobody who matters cares.  -John
                 \_ Re-rephrased, "only people who think like me matter", but
                    I don't think you meant to say that.
                    \_ Straw man exposed and knocked down.  Nobody with any
                       significant mental capacity for differentiated
                       and analytical political thought buys the kind of
                       claptrap she writes.  Her political persuasion aside,
                       it's low quality pseudo-intellectual self-affirmation
                       for the "America, FUCK YEAH" NASCAR crowd.  And maybe
                       you're right, I should have worded my point differently.
                       The mob of the lowest common denominator does matter.
                       I'll use "fucking morons" instead.  -John

3/5     Like it or not, Michelle Malkin is a lot wealthier and
        financially savvy than most of you ranting liburals out there:

10/9    Will Glen Beck's head explode?
        \_ Oh, I'm sure he'll rant and rave.  What else is new?
           Of course, giving Obama the peace prize is dumb, but it's a step
           up from Al Gore.  At least a dozen steps up from Arafat.
           \_ Kissinger beats them all.
              \_ Kissinger stunk, but worse than Arafat?  I dunno. That's close.

6/3     Since no one else seems to be willing to bite, here is my case
        for Obama:
        1) He was always against the War. This shows good judgement and
        political courage. I have some sympathy for those who got swept
        up in the tide of emotion and then apologized for their mistake,
        but better to have not made the mistake in the first place.

        \_ Does Krauthammer still call them Freedom Fries? When is he going
           to apologize for the Iraq War? The guy is a fool.
           \_ So, in other words, he's right and you have no answer to any
              of his points?  Thanks.

But it was refreshing to see a newspaper pick up the story. So what happens when a columnist is found using other's words without attribution? I called Universal Press Syndicate, which distributes Coulter's column to over 100 newspapers. I asked Kathie Kerr, the company's media relations chief. is the one that needs to address this," Kerr told me at first. I noted that in other plagiarism cases -- Jayson Blair, for instance -- the response was not left up to the writer. Indeed, in that case the New York Times and its editors bore responsibility for his misdeeds. "After the investigation is complete and the allegations are proven correct, that's right," she told me. She promised to get in touch with Coulter's editor and call me back. Also, Kerr told me that so far, none of the papers carrying Coulter's column have called to complain about the plagiarism, or to drop the feature.
