>> Dowd is the most brilliant political writer out there. I can't believe you said that. She will be unemployable once the NYT finally closes its doors.

Dowd's Plagiarism Excuse Inexcusable digg Huffpost - stumble reddit del.ico.us ShareThis Read More: Maureen Dowd, New York Times, Newspapers, Plagiarism, Media News facebook Share this with friends on Facebook.com! Get Breaking News Alerts never spam Share Print CommentsMaureen Dowd's excuse for being caught plagiarizing is as lame as her plagiarism is inexcusable. A friend fed her a line? And she used it? Not realizing the friend was quoting Marshall? Oh. Well. In that case, forget we brought it up. I teach journalism at Medill and her excuse doesn't, if you'll pardon the wordplay, excuse her. Plagiarism is still plagiarism no matter the source from which the words are stolen. Perhaps she thinks because this imaginary friend of hers doesn't have a column or blog that is published that she can slip the noose here. But in fact, it's almost less excusable that she stole it from a friend than had she copped to having lifted it from Marshall: Stealing from a friend without giving the friend credit is just as reprehensible. Don't you think the editors at the Times pay Dowd for Dowd, rather than for the company she keeps and the lines that she's fed? I'd be interested in meeting her friend. huffingtonpost.com Dowd Plagiarism Page: 1 NYT Public Editor Slaps Friedman, Dowd, Andrews New York Times \| CLARK HOYT \| Posted 05.24.2009 \| Media Read More: Public Editor Clark Hoyt, Edmund Andrews Public Editor, Clark Hoyt, Edmund Andrews, Thomas Friedman Speaking Fee, Dowd Plagiarism, Public Editor Dowd, Public Editor Friedman, Thomas Friedman, Maureen Dowd, Media News -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IT has been a busy week or two for the ethics police -- those within The Times trying to protect the paper's integrity, and those outside, ready to po...

Maureen Dowd Drags Down the Discourse There is a massive amount of stuff out there by leftwingers who are deeply embarrassed by Dowd. Here's a few of them. Posted by Molly Ivors, Whiskey Fire at 1:02 PM on May 21, 2008. Maureen Dowd's columns are a bottomless well of shallow critique. You know that moment, at the end of A Streetcar Named Desire, when Blanche goes completely off the rails and has to be dragged of to the loony bin? I have a feeling Maureen Dowd is about to learn how to depend on the kindness of strangers. It's been a little disturbing, watching her bounce around these last few months, but today, she loses it completely, framing an imaginary debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in which each of them, well, talks to the other like they're MoDo. It's disturbing and a little concerning to see Maureen's rich fantasy life so fully on display, with Hillary calling Obama "Twiggy," "rookie," "Skeletor," and "Bones," accusing him of fake eating, and promising to lock Bill in Dick Cheney's bunker if she's made VP. Obama, for his part, calls her "Sweetie" and a stalker, accuses her of floating "White Fright," says the Clintons are "too much drama" and Bill is "off-the-charts crazy," and, most predictably of all, asks her, "Can you stop talking, Hillary? Is that even possible?" Wow, talk about pulling out your old chestnuts: HRC is now the Wife of Bath. And it's not Maureen saying it: it's the candidates themselves! So you know this what they're really thinking! My main beef with MoDo is and has always been a sort of terminal shallowness which unfortunately fails to find bottom. Just when you think she can't possibly sink lower, she finds some scrap of text scribbled on a piece of toilet paper stuck to the bottom of her Ferragamos and finds a way to work it in. As the front page of Maureen's own paper shows, Obama's got it more or less locked at this point, but Clinton's strong showing cannot and should not be discounted. Dems have a couple weeks worth of work to do healing divisions, but in the end, it will be fine. I have never believed, and still don't, that Obama voters would refuse to vote for HRC or vice versa: people are not that stupid. We know what this is about, and here's a few hints for you, Maureen: it's not about who eats what it's not about who smokes it's not about who hates who it's not about your cocktail parties it's not about the fact that Bill wouldn't fuck you it's not about youthful drug use it's not about John Edwards' hair it's not about your Mandingo fantasies (a hint: I wouldn't expect President Obama to fuck you either) it's not about your massive misunderstandings about male-female relationships it's not about you Hard as it may be to believe from the professionally decorated and chakra-managed walls of your co-op, there are people hurting out here. Badly. We have a war to end, a reputation to rebuild, an economy to resuscitate, and a nation to heal. We have work to do. Go play out your fantasies somewhere else. alternet.org blog.washingtonpost.com To Call Maureen Dowd Catty Would Be An Insult To Cats by hilzoy obsidianwings.blogs.com huffingtonpost.com
