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?

    Thanks nancerich!

    Sigh. Thanks for thanking me for...editing Joe, and then adding a mistake to his column. Our shingle outside Salon says: "Sure, we make mistakes, but we correct them as quickly as humanly possible! Thanks for reading!"

    I edited Joe's column as the plagiarism mess was breaking, I added the links...and I screwed up. I have no memory of a movie called "The Bachelor" and while I linked to Mary Beth's piece, I assumed it was the legendary and mostly unwatchable reality television show. My apologies to Joe and Mary Beth, and to our readers.
