Washington Post blogger plagiarist resigns
In the past 24 hours, we learned of allegations that Ben Domenech plagiarized material that appeared under his byline in various publications prior to washingtonpost.com contracting with him to write a blog that launched Tuesday.An investigation into these allegations was ongoing, and in the interim, Domenech has resigned, effective immediately.
When we hired Domenech, we were not aware of any allegations that he had plagiarized any of his past writings. In any cases where allegations such as these are made, we will continue to investigate those charges thoroughly in order to maintain our journalistic integrity.
Domenech is clearly not a Republican politician or he'd have hired one of the GOP PR spinners to go on TV to defend his mess. So in my book, that puts him one notch above the rest of them. At least he had the nads to bow out.
Even Michelle Malkin refuses to defend him.
