Yesterday I e-mailed an editor about the plagiarism charge against Coulter. Today I got a response.
Here is the exchange:

Here are links. Google News has several articles.

Allegations of plagiarism have been around for months now, with side-by-side examples being blogged.

So what? By taking 3 minutes of my time yesterday, I spread the news that Coulter is a thief. Whether anything comes of this or not, who knows?. I'd really like to see some MSM reporting of this rather than what I do see on google news right now. Perhaps someone not on a leash might decide to pursue it.
