NY Times’ Maureen Dowd pulls a Joe Biden and plagiarizes Talking Points Memo’s Josh Marshall!
Democrats don’t pay taxes, and they can’t write anything without copying someone else’s words apparently. Maureen Dowd of the New York Times wrote this today:
“More and more the timeline is raising the question of why, if the torture was to prevent terrorist attacks, it seemed to happen mainly during the period when the Bush crowd was looking for what was essentially political information to justify the invasion of Iraq.”
On Thursday, May 14th, 2009, John Marshall wrote this in an article at Talking Points Memo:
“More and more the timeline is raising the question of why, if the torture was to prevent terrorist attacks, it seemed to happen mainly during the period when we were looking for what was essentially political information to justify the invasion of Iraq.”
Notice the similarities? All Dowd changed from Marshall’s article were the words “we were” to “the Bush crowd was”.
Simon Owens also sends us word that he reached out to both Marshall and the TPM blogger who broke the story and published their responses.
