WaPo.com's Jim Brady, Who Can't Google, Must Go!

Blogistan to Washingtonpost.com editor Jim Brady, can you hear us? Come in, Jim Brady.

We're here to tell you it's been three years since the New York Times had to fire Jayson Blair for plagiarism and you have the unmitigated chutzpah to tell the Times that plagiarism is hard to spot, revealing your deep ignorance.

It took liberal and centrist bloggers a few days to find Domenech's plagiarism, yet the paper that brought down Nixon can't learn to use Google to detect possible plagiarism?

Jim Brady must go.

"We've been catching a lot of grief on the blogs for not catching this ourselves, but obviously plagiarism is hard to spot," Mr. Brady said. He said The Post planned to hire another conservative blogger in Mr. Domenech's place.

From the New York Times, March 25.
