Why did a beleaguered hi-tech company grant 50,000 stock options to George Allen on the eve of his 2000 election to the Senate -- and his departure from the company's board?
Now THIS is a real scandal, not like all the garbage-spewing nonsense emanating from the desperate Allen camp.
Lowell Feld is Netroots Coordinator for the Jim Webb for US Senate Campaign. The ideas expressed here belong to Lowell Feld alone, and do not represent those of Jim Webb, his advisors, staff, or supporters.

This has got to be the most pathetic attack piece I've seen in my entire life. I don't even have to think about that statement. Weak? How about non-existent.
I've been reading press copy closely now the past 20 months, working on blogging and politics, and reporters do these general rewrites all the time. (The amount is so miniscule you'd need a row of zeroes to calculate a percentage.) That's not plagiarism. If it was, every college student in America would be guilty of it.
NRO and Allen's people don't want you to think about stories like this:

BAGHDAD - The number of Iraqi civilians killed in violence may have jumped to another record high in October, data from the Iraqi government indicated on Wednesday. Statistics issued by the Interior Ministry for Iraqis killed in political violence put civilian deaths last month at 1,289, nearly 42 a day and up 18 percent from the 1,089 seen in September, itself a record for this particular series of data.

The poll found 54 percent of voters saying it had not been worth the human and economic price to remove former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein from power, while 63 percent said they disapproved of President George W. Bush's handling of Iraq.
