REDSTATE BEN RESIGNS FROM WaPo

I noted below that the wingnut wanker the WaPo hired to blog for their online edition had been caught plagiarizing. Thanks to commenter Driftglass at Atrios's place, I learned that Ben has resigned.

Here are snippets from the WaPo announcement:

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.

Plagiarism is perhaps the most serious offense that a writer can commit or be accused of. Washingtonpost.com will do everything in its power to verify that its news and opinion content is sourced completely and accurately at all times.
