Short answer: by getting so used to doing it that you don’t notice anymore.

It is impossible to inadvertently plagiarize. I am a professional writer. You write what you write. If you are stealing the words of another, you know it.

Perhaps she intended to plagiarize something else and inadvertently plagerized this.

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.
