When the Bush-bashing is this good, you just have to adopt the words as your own.
Stealing others' intellectual work product is seen as one of civilized society's lesser sins. It is easily knowable by word or image comparisons. Call it cheating. Those who engage in plagiarism are lazy, unethical louts to be denigrated, maybe called disgusting names — like lazy, unethical louts.
Intellectually dishonest, too. Plagiarism is no small (or laughing) matter. Journalistic ethics are clear about plagiarism; it is verboten!
Still, the Minneapolis (MN) Star Tribune does it in its lead editorial on Nov. 10. Be it known, first, this intensely partisan daily is biased to its ultraliberal core, and tone-deaf, even its news package often suspect of slanting left. The McClatchy-owned paper is written off by serious conservatives as little more than a silly party organ for liberal Democrats, whom it endorses for office nearly wall-to-wall. One astute reader says its design and use of white space are its prime appeals.

When I saw the title, I thought it was an article about Biden in a trenchcoat.
Every time I see the name Pelosi in any article, I start to wonder how they are going to cover her turds.
Just because they will be intent on covering her turds doesn't mean it still won't leave a stink which won't be remembered by the "conservatives" that "taught" Republicans a lesson this go 'round.
This is a media that scratched sand over Bill Clinton's litterbox. They'll have no problem with Nancy Pellucid.
Maybe this explains the spam I have been receiving lately--it's either a homework assignment from this school, or the desparate plea of women who realize that Russian men are hopeless, bitch school or no:
Hello!
I am Elena and i am here to know you better and start a relations with you. I can say about myself that I am easy-going and curious May be it is normal to my age but I feel myself crazy sometimes I want to see and to know so much I am kind, attentive, open minded and passion. I know what I want from this life and I feel that I am ready for the serious relationships; I am searching for the right person - for my husband and father for our children.
I have some questions for you if you want to get to know me closer:
1/ Are you interested in serious relations with Russian woman?
2/ Are you planning to visit Russia?
3/ Would you like to correspond or to talk by phone?
4/ Why are you interested in Russian lady?
5/ Have you ever been to Russia?
6/ What is important for you in relations and am I right for you?
I will be waiting for your reply to

And what about you?
Typical morning brain cramp. Posted to the wrong article.
Thanks for posting this op ed piece. I read the Power line blog about this editorial of the Strib which nearly echoed in its eitirety the NYT's piece without any credit being mentioned for the ideas.
The Mpls Star-Tribune is worthless for serious news. The only good part about it is the excellent review of local cultural events, of which, there are many. Mpls does have a wonderful cultural scene.
Lived in Mn for many years. Liked the sports page, and sales on Sunday.
Otherwise used the paper as a place for our 2 dogs to take care of their business when it was too cold to let them outside....
