When Washington Post journalist Elizabeth Flock wrote a post last year falsely accusing Mitt Romney of using a Ku Klux Klan slogan in his campaign speech, she was not fired or disciplined.

But when Flock stole from the work of another mainstream organization and did not properly attribute, she abruptly “resigned” from the Washington Post conveniently and coincidentally before another editor’s note went up on her post that described it as having “serious factual errors” and “a significant ethical lapse.”

Flock told AFP that “she resigned on Friday before the Post published a second editor's note about her work and that she was not pressured to quit.” A Washington Post spokesman said they would not comment on personnel matters.

“Get the Flock out of here!”

But not for trying to tie Mittens to the KKK.

All these Flocks and Flukes are hard to keep track of.

Anyone who took Latin knows its:
Fluke = I fluke
Flock = You fluke
Floke = He she or it flukes
Fluius = we fluke
Fluius = you (plural) fluke
Flant = they fluke

Did you copy Bob Beckel on this?

He needs all the help he can get.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They all look alike to me.

That reminds me of I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream

I slam, you slam, we all slam for Islam!

[Lazlo in PA]

She is a little bit hot, but a whole lot more irrational and stupid. Liberalism rots the mind and make you a cheating dope.

What’s the fuss? We have a National Monument and a National Holiday for a master plagiarist. Doris Kearns Goodwin is a respected Democrat historian known for her plagiarism and is selected by the major networks for commentary quite often.

Kind of looks like Robert Plant, when he was younger.
