Representative Plagiarizes Blogger

Representative Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, sent an anti-Alito letter to Senator Mike DeWine which was chiefly the uncredited writing of Nathan Newman.

A visit to Newman's website shows that he apparently doesn't mind having his writing stolen, calling the plagiarism story "ridiculous." Anything for the liberal cause!

A side note (and a warning to anyone who may consider clicking the links), Newman's own language leaves much to be desired. The philosophy of many liberals seems to be if you can't make a good argument, cuss instead.
