Nonstatist - I agree with you.

If Ann Coulter plagarized like Doris Kearns Goodwin all of the national news outlets would harp about if for weeks. And Katie Couric would do a special with little promo teasers leading up to it for a week. The point is, for the mainstream media to actually say a liberal has done something bad, the liberal had to do something undeniably, obviously bad. Like Doris Kearns Goodwin. Why she still gets to bloviate on TV I have no idea.

Who wants to read a book in which 91 out of 200 pages are inundated with obtrusive footnotes? She knows there arent many awards feted out for books like that, or long lists of avid readers, either.

That's why God invented endnotes -- so you can tell your story and give credit at the same time. For paragraph length quotes, there's block quotes. The only reason for copying entire sentences without attribution is plagerism.
