A portrait of the blogger as a young plagiarist

As a college student Ben Domenech lifted arts criticism; as a GOP henchman, he was accused of fabricating a Tim Russert quote. What was the Washington Post thinking?

    Thank you, Joe Conason

    I'd like to thank Joe Conason generally for his excellent articles here at Salon and at The New York Observer..

    But this article about the Box-turtle Domanech feels like Christmas Eve.

    That the person who called Coretta Scott King, that gallant lady, a "Communist" on the day of her funeral should be taken down by such an excellent pundit as Conason is wonderful.

    Home-schooling : perfect for turning your kids into hateful, idiotic puppets without social skills or, apparently, ethics of any kind.

    Thank you Joe.
