As a professional academic, I personally feel that plagiarism is the one crime worthy of torture. Well, maybe not. But these people should definitely be subject to a good public rogering.ÂÂ
The fact that Coulter is guilty of intellectual theft is not surprising. When you cherrypick support for a living, a sense of laziness and permissiveness inevitably takes hold. TPM [1] is doing [2] a good job [3] following the story. Also, check out this [4] video on how she got caught.ÂÂ
UPDATE: Looks like Coulters syndicate is going to look into the charges [5].
