This guy has a serious Christ-deficiency in his life. No one yet has answered the question as to how this chickenhawk college dropout, handicapped by having no talent and no life experience, with a background of intemperate comments and plagiarism, and nothing going for him but a father working for the Bush administration, was considered the "best" blogger out of millions available that the WaPo could find. Wait. I think I figured it out. you shouldn’t kick even your enemy whe he’s down.

He’s certainly taking the full consequences of his actions.

A specific apology to his college editors, for accusing them of inserting plagiarized material into his columns. 2. An accurate description of his previous behavior: not obfuscation, but lies and smears. A true apology would have included the following:

Here's a tip from someone older than you. EVERYTHING YOU DO REFLECTS ON YOU. IT'S THE ONLY STANDARD BY WHICH ONE IS JUDGED. You are going to have to live an exemplary life for a long time before the world forgets that the first time you came to our attention, it was as a liar and a hack. Perhaps journalism is not your career path. BTW, HOW DID YOU GET THAT JOB? Nothing you have done so far seems to have qualified you for it. I hope that nothing I’ve done as a teenager or in my professional life will reflect badly on the movement and principles I believe in.
