more than you ever wanted to know
A Domenech quickie
I hope Blue Gal is listening, cuz Steve Gilliard deserves her no-sugarcoating award:
Our widdle whiny-ass titty baby friends at RedState don’t like the way that widdle Ben has bween tweated by the mean old Netroots
My ass bleeds for them
Yeah, I ought to be working on my damn book, but I’m too busy catching up on Steve’s posts re Ben Domenech. This made me chortle with glee — a snip from a Julie Bosman NY Times story . . .
He [Domenech] explained the passage that appeared to be copied from Mr. O’Rourke’s book by saying that Mr. O’Rourke gave him permission.
Contacted at his home in New Hampshire, Mr. O’Rourke said that he had never heard of Mr. Domenech and did not recall meeting him.
“I wouldn’t want to swear in a court of law that I never met the guy, Mr. O’Rourke said of Mr. Domenech, “but I didn’t give him permission to use my words under his byline, no.”
Equal time: Mal Merkin provides a spirited defense for the racist plagiarizing SOB.
Update: via Crooks and Liars, the National Review Online ends any further speculation (first here, then here) as to whether Domenech’s NRO contributions provide ample evidence of serial plagiarization.

PS: Rising Hegemon is too damn funny. Coffee spew warning.
My longest segment of my latest Assclowns of the Week is dedicated to Ben (a whopping two pages of Word text) that Falafel Sex is hosting this week. And that was the edited version. If I didn’t start cutting out what I’d found about Ben, it could’ve easily reached three pages or close to 1000 words.
Thanks, JP. I’m on my way.
Oh JP I’m glad Falafel won. I’m on my way, too. And yeah, Gilliard dunnnt sugarcoat it, duzzie? I love it when dem chickens cum home ta roost!
