Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

In after Baud. Damn.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Books are my comfort food!

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

The words do not have to be perfect.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Mo Dowdy, mo problems

Michael Calderone has the latest scoop on MoDoGate. The Times emailed him to say that it was no biggie since MoDo eventually gave credit and Marshall didn’t care very much (t takes them two paragraphs to say this, for some reason). Calderone writes:

I think this incident sheds light on the use of content without attribution — even if from a friend — that seems to be acceptable at the Times. Of course a columnist will take ideas from those they speak with, but entire passages verbatim?

If I was e-mailed a 40-plus-word block of text for this blog, and I used it, I’d include some sort of attribution — whether “a reader writes in,” “media insider points out” or whatever the case may be.

But from The Times’ response, it seems the paper finds it acceptable for columnists to take entire paragraphs from friends (or sources?), over the phone or e-mail, and reproduce them verbatim in the paper under the columnist’s byline.

I think that nails it. Inserting 40 word block that a friend wrote is bad form in blogging, why is it okay for the most prestigious newspaper in the country?

Instaputz has a good take on this too.

(I plagiarized this title, but I’m giving credit, so it’s okay.)

    This story has so much schadenfreude that I’m finding it totally irresistible. I mean, after the whole Joe Biden thing and all. And the self-righteousness of her crusade against Bill Clinton’s penis. This is like catnip to me. I’ve been cackling with glee since I saw the first inklings of this last evening.

    Is that terrible of me?

    What this says to me is that MoDo has run out of things to say. She needs to go. It’s amazing how her writing has plummeted in the last year or so.

    So it is okay for MoDo to plagiarize while it is simultaneously okay for her to go after others for plagiarism.

    Mmm… Smells so….Republican.

    What’s problematical about this for me is the outlandishly dishonest explanation that Dowd gave originally. I mean– “I was abducted by aliens who submitted the column without my knowledge” would have been more plausible.

    Does this mean she’s possibly not responsible for all those years of Dennis Miller-esque riffs and puns integrating pop culture with the Beltway cocktail circuit? Maybe this will improve my opinion of her. Not…bloody…likely.

    EDIT: BTW, does anyone know if the question has been asked as to whether or not the “friend” of MoDo was actually JMM himself sending her his blog post? I’m wondering why he hasn’t said a peep about it, and part of me suspects he doesn’t want to get a “friend” in trouble over her laziness.

    MoDo’s story blows. We’re talking verbatim, (almost) word-for-word lifting, here. What are the odds that your “friend” would have remembered, to the word, what she/he “heard”? And whoever did lift it, they must not be very savvy if they thought Josh Marshall is just some obscure blogger, you know, nobody will ever recognize the passage…

    I can’t believe she didn’t immediately blame it on her assistant.

    ETA: @Keith: Oooooh. Interesting! But, it doesn’t make much sense, then, that the story was cross-posted at TPM. And weird that the blogger hadn’t posted anything since 2008 over there.

    Heard? Hell, the commas were in the same place. I think it is being generous to believe a friend of hers told her that. At best a friend e-mailed the quote.

    What’s great about this is that Josh Marshall’s smart enough to not say a thing and let it die… seems clear given the Times quote in this story (“There is no need to do anything further since there is no allegation, hint or anything else from Marshall that this was anything but an error.”) that the Times and TPM have come to something of an understanding to minimize embarrassment on the part of the Times. Question is what TPM gets out of the deal… at the very least it’s free publicity. Less savvy bloggers would (and have) handled this less successfully.

    @Michael D.: Heh. I was actually going to put that in my comment, that I’ve only read her for a year or so, and not on a steady basis for the last six months.

    My guess would be the friend e-mailed her the paragraph, and she just lifted it. Lazy as well as dishonest.

    Dowd’s explanation that she simply re-wrote what she heard from a friend is so, so, so much bullshit. Is she serious? This would basically require both Dowd AND her friend to have photographic memories with no information getting lost in the transition from TPM to friend to Dowd to paper.

    Dowd just stole it. If the NY Times ever does go out of business, it will be great for her to disappear. Maybe she can go to CNN and giggle with the morning anchors.

    What’s the over/under on the time it’ll take MoDo to write a piece that’s overloaded with “a reader wrote in” and “a friend emailed me” statements as a way of trying to downplay what she did here? Two weeks? Three?

    The snarkier part of me thinks that the Times’ reaction to this is a case of “Dowd lifted from a blog, but that’s not real writing anyway, and so Marshall ought to be grateful for the publicity.”

    And maybe its the fact that I’m a gay man, so I don’t really a have a frame of reference, but her whole madonna-whore wanna-be sex kitten shtick is extremely off-putting.

    Maureen got in a little bit of hot water a few years ago. She wrote an article stating that she was at a meeting in the Middle East when in fact she was on her way back home. Although at the time she did not credit anyone else, she wrote a follow-up crediting the person who was her stand in at the meeting. Does anyone else remember this?

    MoDo writes an opinion column. Presumably, it’s her opinion, otherwise why not just publish random twitters to fill column inches?

    That’s the problem. It’s not that she lifted it from Josh (which I can’t imagine she did), it’s that she lifted it from random person (which is plagiarism all the same). Can I get paid MoDos salary to publish selected excerpts of my inbox in the NYT?

    Having now been at a few public events which received significant news coverage this is not uncommon.

    Apparently what happens is about an hour or so before the event, the person speaking hands a copy of their speech to the reporters. They all write up the even based upon that copy and then hit send while the person is giving their speech.

    If something happens in the actual event that differs from the planned remarks, they file a correction.

    The reporters don’t actually listen to what is going on. This is the new Woodward/Bernstein school of journalism where you sit at your desk and wait for the phone to ring and tell you the news.

    Mostly OT: Check out the comments on Judge Posner’s critique of modern conservatives’ badly-substandard intellectual foundation. As one commenter noted:

    Here we have a well-written and insightful piece about how the conservative movement is being harmed by pre-occupation with emotional issues, religious issues, and scientific ignorance. And it is followed by pages upon pages of angry rants by fellow conservatives almost exclusively about abortion and climate change denial. This is truly irony at its finest.

    Maureen Dowd is one of the two valley girls of the punditocracy (the other one being Ana Marie Cox). She’s a pathetic joke of a columnist and should have been fired from the Times years ago.

    The success enjoyed by Dowd and Cox and the fact that they are currently employed at all shows how low the standards of journalism have fallen.

    Their closest male counterparts in terms of sheer cluelessness are Mark Halperin, Marc Ambinder, Mike Allen, Howard Kurtz, and Dana Milbank.

    A year ago I was an avid Sully reader and on May 23, 2008, he wrote:

    John Cole is at his breaking point:

    It is mind-numbing. This isn’t an election anymore. This is a secret bet between Bill and Hillary ala Trading Places in which they bet how much bullshit they can make the electorate swallow.

    I kid not…I couldn’t log on over here for 3 days. I thought the site either no longer existed or had exploded. Obviously, the latter. I was so intrigued by Sully’s post and John’s rant, however, since I was suffering from my own sanity-threatening case of Hillary-induced madness — I persisted. Now I hardly ever leave, and I haven’t read Sully for months.

Unfortunately, about 10 minutes is his limit before he turns boorish. He was really good on Larry King last week, especially the comment about Cheney, one hour, a waterboard and Sharron Tate.

    Also, there was a comment on the YouTube clip I found intriguing… “Calling torture ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ is like calling rape ‘non-compliant sexual gratification.'” Crude and made me wince, but effective.

    To be fair, it’s not like punctuation is completely arbitrary. Commas fall at certain places in a sentence, not because they look good, but because of rules for their placement. Dependent clauses, interjections, and lists, either Oxford style or not, call for commas.

    Nobody has yet faulted her for knowing there should be a period at the end of the sentence. Why get hung up on commas?

    I think it’s odd to hear this described as “alleged plagiarism”; it’s plagiarism, pure and simple, which doesn’t rest on the intentions of the plagiarist. Now, it could have been accidental, in some high-school-essay-writing sense, but who cares, really? It’s not something a professional columnist should let slip by in such a short work.

    By the way, from now on I plan to source everything properly: “Such and such is true [the Internet, 2009].”

    If only it were so.
    The rules are rarely obeyed, particularly on the ‘tubes.
    I think many people DO add commas because they look good.

    The idea that a comma is supposed to increase readability of a sentence is foreign to many. Recently T-N C has been driving me crazy with his personal comma style. Example:

    I think I’ve traveled more in the past two years, than I had in my entire life.

    Why would one EVER put a comma in that sentence?
