SOME PLAGIARISTS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS JPod The Corner Why exactly is it OK for Doris Kearns Goodwin to win a $50,000 prize from the New-York Historical Society for her book on Lincoln when she was unmasked as a plagiarist in the Weekly Standard three years ago -- and used the outrageous excuse offered by plagiarists near and far that she didn't know her own writing from the notes she took while doing "research"? Yes, her book is a huge bestseller. Yes, she likes baseball. Yes, she seems very genial on television. But she's still a p-l-a-g-i-a-r-i-s-t. (Hat tip: Mickey Kaus.) corner.nationalreview.com

AP SAYS IT DIDN'T PLAGIARIZE but relied on interest groups: Instapundit <<< "The article written by the AP, 'Security Clearance Rules May Impede Gays,' attributed its information to gay rights groups, who happened to be wrong and who received their information from Raw Story." >>> UPDATE: Jon Henke emails: "Didn't the New York Times just do a story ripping bloggers for relying on information provided by Wal-Mart (an interest group)?" Yes, but it's okay when Certified Professional JournalistsTM do it. instapundit.com editorsweblog.org
