re: "Ms. Warren may have plagiarized at least three of the five recipes she submitted to the 1984 Pow Wow Chow cookbook" 

re: "You too falsely accused Warren of plagiarism on this board." 

Excluse me, clo? In what way was what I posted false?

You just defended Warren's 2006 book, while... as you can see from the (green) quote above, my post was about plagiarism she appears to have committed way back in 1984. In 1984, she published a recipe that was word-for-word identical to a 1979 recipe someone else had written.

It's very unlikely that the defense you provided applies. I doubt her 1984 recipe was the original while the 1979 recipe was the copy.

I didn't know about this 2006 thing. Thanks for telling us about it. Warren has been in all sorts of trouble, hasn't she?

The National Review’s fake plagiarism scoop

Updated: After falsely accusing Elizabeth Warren of plagiarism, the conservative magazine apologizes
By Alex Pareene

The National Review says Elizabeth Warren is guilty of the gravest crime a writer can commit: Plagiarism. Katrina Trinko compares passages from “All Your Worth: The Ultimate Money Lifetime Plan,” Warren’s book with her daughter, Amelia Warren Tyagi, with passages from “Getting on the Money Track,” a book by Rob Black. The passages line up perfectly. The wording and even the punctuation are identical. It’s plagiarism all right. Except it looks very much like Warren is actually the victim.

The National Review headline says “Plagiarism in Elizabeth Warren’s 2006 book.” The body refers to Warren publishing the book “in 2006″ and Black’s book coming out in 2005. That’s true! Except that in 2006 the paperback of Warren’s book was published. The hardcover came out in March of 2005. Black’s book seems to have come out, if Amazon is correct, October 14 2005. (Or, according to Barnes and Noble, July 2005?) Months after Warren’s book. Unless there was an earlier published hardcover version that I can’t find on Amazon, it seems like Black most likely plagiarized Warren.

UPDATE: Damn, that didn’t take long. Rich Lowry has acknowledged the mistake and says the post will be updated. It was so fun, while it lasted, this fake story.
