OH YEAH MAUREEN DOWD: So she had a sentence from a TPM post in her column. Her explanation: she didn’t mean to lift an unattributed quote from Josh Marshall; she meant to lift an unattributed quote from some random friend of hers, who happened to be quoting Josh Marshall, unattributedly. Whatever, this is how the Internet works, words want to be free, and everybody copies everybody else constantly. (There is no actual news anymore.) Josh Marshall seems not to be terribly offended anyhow. [thejoshuablog]
