“How does one inadvertently plagerize?”
Oh, you know, same way Hillary Clinton’s plane come “under sniper fire” in March 1996.

Something along these lines was used by the Boston Globe to silence conservative columnist Jeff Jacoby for four months during the 2000 election.
Somehow, I doubt the same standards will apply to the liberal columnist, even if the NYT didn't own the Boston Globe at the time.

The Dowd Rule
Words to read the New York Times by.
By Mark Goldblatt
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who once upon a time was a clever little girl, but who’s been running on fumes since roughly the last presidential election, nowadays can hardly write 600 words without a gratuitous swipe at George Bush’s supposed lack of intelligence. In her honor, therefore, I would like to name the Dowd Rule. To wit: No one who thinks George W. Bush is stupid is as smart as George W. Bush.

is plagarism a critical skill at the NYT?
To: james500
‘inadvertently’?
Is that what they are calling blatant plagiarism now??

The error appeared in Dowd's Sunday column, in which she criticized the Bush administration's use of interrogation methods in the run-up to the Iraq war. Too funny! The crAP calling plagerism by a NYT columnist an "error".
Calling Helen Thomas a journalist is an error. Plagerism by a well-seasoned, elderly writer is not an error, it is the gravest crime a writer can be accused of.

Thank you. Of course, my question was rhetorical. However, in this unknowing day and age, answering such things is probably required.
To: james500
Inadvertently, of course...
Pfffft.

"Perhaps she intended to plagiarize something else and inadvertently plagerized this." BWWWWHAAAAAA!!!
Yes, that has to be it!
And here we thought competition for a Putz-licker Jive was tough.
Pfffffft.
Try *winning* a "Blair Affair" and you'll learn the meaning of compete.
Dowd-y to date has a hands-down lock for 2009's "Blair Affair".
Of course, there's still plenty of time for another NYSlimes' plagiarist to have a shot. :o)
