“NEW YORK — New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd has admitted to using a paragraph virtually word-for-word from a prominent liberal blogger without attribution. Dowd acknowledged the error in an e-mail to The Huffington Post…”

The AP keeps using the word “error” like it was an unintended mistake. Lifting an entire paragraph from someone else’s work doesn’t happen “accidently” it has to be a conscience act to get the text from point “a” to point “b.”

I can see my defense. It was an error that the money, which belonged to the bank, ended up in my account after I hacked into the banks web site and transfered the funds.

If I ever get audited by the IRS, I plan on using a similar defense. Hope we are incarcerated at the same Jail Walter.
